PRETENDER MERCY (by: XLND)

A fresh start in a new school was all the charming transfer student, Scarlet, ever wanted. But her dreams of blending in shatter when she becomes the unwilling vessel for a vengeful spirit-a girl who met her tragic end on the school rooftop, driven to despair by relentless bullying and suffocating anxiety.

Bound by an unbreakable pact, Scarlet is drawn into a sinister quest for justice. By day, she is the picture-perfect student, earning admiration and envy alike. By night, she is an avenger cloaked in shadows, serving the haunting spirit's wrath by taking down the bullies one by one.

But with every blood-soaked act of retribution, the lines between Scarlet and the spirit blur, and the eerie truth of the school's dark secrets comes to light. As the body count rises, so do the stakes, with Scarlet struggling to maintain her humanity amidst the chaos.

In Pretender Mercy, horror collides with dark comedy and heartfelt drama as a tormented past intertwines with a vengeful present. Justice demands a price-will Scarlet be willing to pay it?
