《Unmasked (Depressed Bakugou x Todoroki)》Traitor!
Advertisement
I failed! When I said that I would absolutely win the match I lost. Great. Now I'm even more of a failure. The reason I didn't win was probably because I haven't been eating. I know that. But I just can't eat. Why do I have to be like this. Why do I have to think about this in the middle of the night.
Everyone else is asleep and I'm just laying in my bed, tired and hungry, not able to move. Why can't I be like them.
I check the time on my phone, for the 500th time in 5 minutes. It's 12:32. If I go to bed early to sleep why am I not sleeping! Even if I do fall asleep I'll just have nightmares.
I decide to get up and sneak down to the kitchen. Maybe, just maybe, food might help. I slowly walk out the dorm, trying very hard not to wake up Todoroki. I quietly close the door behind me and walk to the elevator. I click the button and it opens almost immediately.
Once I hop out of the elevator after arriving at the bottom floor, I suddenly get the feeling someone's watching me. I ignore the feeling and walk to the kitchen, opening the fridge.
I just settled for getting a bottle of water. Before I could open it I heard the elevator door open. I, instinctively hid. I just ducked down and the cabinets prevented anyone from seeing me.
My mind started racing at who it could be. Probably just a classmate. But what if it wasn't a classmate. What if it was someone else. I didn't realize it yet but my breathing was getting heavy. I could feel a panic attack coming.
I could hear footsteps. It felt like they were getting closer, footsteps getting louder, my heartbeat getting faster and louder.

I take a very deep breath and turn to slowly look at who is there. It's too dark I can't see them. They turn to go outside. Who's going out at this hour. It doesn't matter, if they leave I can go back to the elevator and escape.
I make a run for it, clicking the elevator button. It opens quickly and I step inside. Right before it closes I see the person coming back inside. They see me and I see them. But we only see a shadows of each other. No faces.
I run back to my dorm and lock the door, quickly. I go into my room and close the door, locking it. I breathe out a breath I didn't know I was holding, and sink to the floor.
My breathing gets heavy again. Why. I'm safe. I'm fine. There's nothing to worry about. I feel tears threaten to fall down my face. Why was I so scared it's just someone going out. For all I know it could be Deku training in the middle of the night. But something just felt..off.
I steady my breathing and stand up. I open the door and go to the bathroom. Turning the water on to cold, I put my hands under the water and splash it in my face. I try to think through everything that happened. Why am I so nervous about this. It's probably nothing. There's nothing to worry about. I just have to keep telling myself that.
When I open the door I see Todoroki, about to knock.
"What?" I say.
"I wanted to see if you were okay." He admits.
"I'm fine, fuck off." I angrily walk back into my room. Before I close the door he speaks.
"You know, Bakugou. You don't have to wear your mask around me." I close the door. What the hell was that even supposed to mean.

I lay back in my bed and start thinking again. Todoroki honestly looked kind of cute with his slightly messy hair and sleepy look in his eyes. I drift off slowly.
For class Aizawa had an important announcement. Everyone, including me, thought it would be good news. A field trip maybe. Maybe even no class. We were all wrong.
"Something that the staff of U.A. has been questioning for quite a while has been answered," He started off slowly. The entire atmosphere changed as we all knew this wouldn't be good news.
"There is a mole here in our midst." The gasps and whispers came shortly after.
"As of now we don't know who it is. At first there was no evidence but something new came into light. We know that this happened during the move in of the dorms. If anyone has any information it would be greatly appreciated. But as of now there is nothing to worry about and we will be taking extra precautions." He said.
Everyone looked at each other. It could be any one of us.
"Calm down everyone!" Iida stood up. Everyone looked at him. "If there is a mole I doubt that it is anyone in this class. We are all striving to be excellent heroes and none of us would dare jeopardize that!" He assured us, "So we should stay calm!"
"That's our class president." Yaoyorozu stated.
"Yep. He's right. We should be fine!" Tsuyu said.
The atmosphere went from tense to calm again. Aizawa showed a tiny smile on his face and got into his sleeping bag to sleep.
I look over at Bakugou. He hasn't said anything and he is just looking down. After watching him for a couple seconds I notice he's shaking. He gets up quickly, almost knocking down his chair. He runs out.
"What was that about?" Sero questioned.
"Probably just Bakugou being Bakugou. Nothing to worry about." Kirishima sighed.
Everyone went back to talking. Uraraka and Midoriya walked over to my table and we talked about an assignment we had gotten from Present Mic. After class at lunch I went to go find Bakugou. He was in his normal hiding place, a bathroom stall.
"Bakugou?" I said.
"What, Icyhot." He shouted.
"Why'd you run out earlier?"
"None of your god damn business." He seemed more feral than he was most days. I stayed calm.
"Is there anything you need to talk about?"
"No. Just go!"
"Not until you tell me what's going on. Why'd you leave?"
"Because I could."
"That's not an answer."
"It's the answer I'm giving."
"Do you know something?" Silence.
"Bakugou." I say. Theres still silence.
"You know something don't you."
"No."

Truck-kun Gets Sacrificed
Driscoll is my own version of a world with a game-like "system" of endless possibilities. MC has his own status, classes, skills, magic, and a living greatswordstaff in a world of monsters, demi-humans of all kinds, and even the supernatural. Sound good? Well, at first for Tru, it was a dream come true(I'm sorry). At least until reality hits him again and again. His quest from God is vague and must be discovered by him along the way. Hopefully, he can figure that out someday but for now, this new world's threats and his potential for power are motivation aplenty. With His new partner by his side, he's ready to embark on his mission of infinite sacrifice, however many lives it takes. The setting is pretty standard for fantasy, with my beginner attempts at writing. Litrpg elements are definitely involved here but It'll calm down as the story progresses and the world's foundation is laid. Judeo/Christian themes and principles take a major role and will be a backbone for much of the story. The fights will paint a picture in the mind rather than just be a bunch of number crunching. While he is meant to be a sacrifice to save all of Driscoll, he needs to gain enough power and influence to be a worthwhile sacrifice, or so he thinks. And so carnage will ensue as he avoids death as best he can while at the same time sacking himself for others. Truck Coon is your average determined, jiu-jitsu practitioner, tax associate that just started his new career. He dies to save kids from a semi-truck(Truck Coon got truck-kun'd, making him Truck-kun) and is transported to another world rather conventionally by God. Upon his arrival, he is quickly confronted with his first conflicts in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. Chapters are currently between 2300 and 4000 words and I try to post weekly, but also deal with severe limitations that cause late posts often. I have zero actual experience with writing stories and only recently started reading web novels in 2020. If you end up hating it, let me know your thoughts in a detailed comment or review, especially if you love it though :D I want to get better and welcome the feedback, so expect changes to be made with any flaws that y'all point out which I don't already have plans to address in future chapters. That being said, keep it constructive in nature, please. I have no Idea how the formatting and such will go, so if you like or dislike some techniques I try, give me that well-appreciated feedback! Thank you for reading.

The Card Thief of Culnivar
Deep with the cozy kingdom of Daeton, among the generation-old farmlands and villages, a young farmer’s daughter stumbles upon a dead man. His elaborate clothing has been torn to ribbons, yet his skin remains unblemished. His face is peaceful, and tucked into the hand lying across his chest can be seen a solitary playing card. He is a Ludum Haeres. The last remnant of a Summoner. Numbered among those few capable of changing their destinies. The unseen rulers of the world known as Vesperia, and one of the most powerful creatures in existence. The woman knows none of this. And so, she picks up the card... This is my third novel on Royal Road, the first being "Beyond the Horizon's Eye", and the second being "The Dawnfire Archives". This story is something of a test in a new genre, that of CardLIT. We'll see how well it succeeds as the story continues. It takes place in a different setting than my other tales, with an entirely new cast of characters. It does, however, contain several ties between the stories. Average post between 1000 - 3000 words.
