Katsuki's squad was always appreciative of Katsuki.
When they were running late to school Katsuki always had Pre-made breakfast.
When they were failing Katsuki always had free time to spare some of his knowledge.
When they fucked up Katsuki had always saved the day.
When they were low on cash, Katsuki always had a lump of money that he 'no longer' needed.
When they were starving, Katsuki always gave them more than enough to feast on.
When they wanted something they couldn't afford, Katsuki had always bought it. He didn't want anything anyway.
When they wanted Katsuki's favorite candy, Katsuki gave it to them. He didn't want them anyway. Wasn't hungry.
When they watched a scary movie without him and were scared, Katsuki always made sure they made more than enough room in his bed for them to sleep in.
When they were cold, Katsuki would let them stay close.. he was a personal heater.. all had their own personal sweaters that they often borrowed from Katsuki.
When they no longer could handle the outside word, Katsuki would distract them, buy them a treat to make them feel better.
No matter what issue or what squad member... Katsuki always had a solution to their problems.
Everyone always talked shit because they liked to hang out with Katsuki. Saying that they needed a better friend. Katsuki was aware of this yet he did nothing. Said nothing. Never reacted.
No matter what he just fixed their problems. Didn't give a shit about what other had said or mentioned about him.
They thought that he would always do that. Just go around fixing their problems like they were helpless children.
And when they got older... and began to find their way in life. Lovers and children... things changed.
Their spouses all agreed that Katsuki needed to go. That he was nothing but a bad influence. That he treated them as if they were stupid. The squad agreed with no regret. They didn't want to be treated like helpless children. He was getting annoying anyway with the repeating schedule.

Yet once they cut off Katsuki it was like the world went grey. Katsuki was like the parent and friend they never had. Supportive and understanding. But they stood by their decision and their spouses.
Yet it was a lot harder than they thought. They missed him. Days seemed to blur into months. Yet no matter how hard it got, they always seemed to stay afloat.
When they happened to have a low abundance of food, somehow they had been donated enough to get them by for weeks.
When they were low on money, somehow a check always appeared in the mail, or their kids found a couple hundred in their swing set.
When they were unsure of important decisions, somehow the answer was always in plain sight.
When they got themselves in sticky situations and nothing seemed like things would go their way, somehow the problem fixed itself.
After all the hard work, they finally were able to live successfully without having Katsuki save them from their own destruction.
About a year has passed since the last time they saw their friend.. A distant thought in their minds that they only ever thought about when looking at old school photos and their children just so happens to ask who's the blond, or on late nights after a scary movie, when it gets cold, when things get overwhelming.. he was thought about.. but he was always pushed into the back of their minds. And when their families would meet up, if one of these even dared to bring him up the mood would change dramatically.. Nobody dared to finish that conversation. No mention of him. No thought. No nothing. Unless accidental.
That was until they each received a rather large box.
Each box contained toys for the children, money for the adults, food for the family and everything they ever struggled gaining.
And a note. And it read, "If you are reading this then you better be one of the idiots from my squad. If not, fuck off. And if you're a child. No, I didn't say a bad word. So fuck off. Anway. Hopefully it is my squad that happens to read this, even if you could call it a squad anymore. Hasn't been a squad since we parted our ways I guess. Or more since I parted my way with y'all. What did y'all call the Bakusquad after I left? The Kamisquad? Or Kirisquad? Maybe the Serosquad? Minasquad sounds pretty cool. Either way I hope the name was as cool as it was when I was there. Shit, I get distracted, it's been about a year, I wish we could catch up and talk but this is a note, and you guys blocked my number.. but besides that I can tell you a few things before I run out of room on this peice of paper. I hope none of you minded the small gifts and things I gave to y'all during the year. Having no family or friends means I have a lot of money and useless shit wasted on myself, so I tried to send y'all fairly equal amounts. Though I was never good at math so I apologize if something was a little less or more than what everyone else got. Also I hope I had picked out good things, it's been a while, I'm a little rusty. Can you believe it? A whole year without talking to each other? The longest we stopped talking to each other, in school was only a few hours. Including sleeping. It's like a whole new record. Fuck, I'm off topic again. Sorry. Anyway, I just wanted to say how much I missed you guys and how miserable it was without you guys. It was pretty shitty but that doesn't matter anymore. Now that all of you are back on y'all's feet, stable families and homes I decided it would be nice to send my last gift. This is everything, I no longer have anything else to give. I don't need it so I figured you guys could put it to good use. I don't really have anyone else to give my money and shit to, so enjoy. Anyway, I'm running out of room on this shitty piece of paper so I guess I'll say my goodbyes. I'm not moving to another country or state, I've decided to just leave. Leave everything. Having no family, friends, or any type of goals led me to believe that I no longer needed to be here. And now that you guys are finally happy, I am able to move on. No longer holding onto the broken pieces left of the squad. So this is my farewell. I give my love and appreciation. Goodbye squad. Don't fuck it up while I'm gone because this does happen to be forever. Can't rise from the grave to make y'all some breakfast. That would be unsanitary." And on the back of the note there was tons of pictures from their hangouts and high school times. Also a small little p.s which said, "Sorry if the paper was wet. Can't hold back my tears like I used to. Getting like my old man."

That note ruined everything. Ruined their idea that they were able to forget him. Or maybe even reconnect. The not pulled forward pushed back thoughts. Tears poured and they didn't stop.
They went ahead and decided to try to find where Katsuki lived, to see if they could find him and stop what they knew had already happened. False hope.
When they figured out where hidden pro hero, "Dynamite" lived, they got there as soon as possible. And when they did get there, they were met with a body bag being pulled into an ambulance. Tons of people surrounded the home as if it was a museum.
The amount of disrespect. Yet how could they judge? They threw away years of friendship because they were unable to admit that they needed help.
And those years of friendship will never be able to start again.
Ever.
Because like Katsuki said, Death is forever.

The Laptop Hero (Portal/Isekai LitRPG)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - April 2022 Silas got summoned to another world—by a group of kids attending magic school who seemed rather unhappy with the results of their ritual. After a brief glimpse of his summoners Silas woke in the town dump. Unable to speak the local language, a misunderstanding escalated and before long Silas wound up in a jail cell, the locals having confiscated all his worldly possessions aside from his laptop, which had formed some strange bond with him. Now he can summon his laptop at will, and he can view his Status, level up, and gain powerful skills and magic as if he were some character in a video game, which is great and everything, but all Silas really wants to do is sit in a dark room and play games on his laptop. Only, life isn't a game, and Silas needs to get his act together because everyone else is playing for keeps. Or does he? Maybe for Silas life is just one big game now, with everyone else stuck playing by his rules. Assorted Disclaimers, in no particular order: I am only posting this on RoyalRoad.com, so if you find my story elsewhere it was not posted by me. Please do let me know! While I do consider this a progression fantasy, and have tagged it as such, Silas's Status improvements will not necessarily proceed in a linear fashion. His RPG stats will have ups and downs, exploits and nerfs, periods of growth and stagnation. Such is the life of a gamer, to be held under the thumb of the all powerful devs, or in this case a certain goddess devoted to the idea of Balance. SIlas himself should learn and grow, improving and progressing in areas where he struggles, or rather, to show such is my goal. The story is told from multiple points of view. While other PoVs will come and go, Silas shall remain the only lead character. The world Silas finds himself on is not a nice place. Expect him to encounter gore and traumatizing content and bad people who do bad things for selfish (or possibly noble) reasons from time to time. Some characters will use profanity, however due to cultural differences the curse words used will differ from those used in our corner of reality, so I'm not including the profanity content warning. Silas himself isn't one for foul language. No explicit sexual content here. This novel is intended for mature readers, however, and will include mature topics, including, but not limited to, sex, violence, death, and taxes. No harem. Might be an eventual romantic interest, possibly even some competitive jealousy, yet as his story begins Silas is too overwhelmed with other concerns to consider long term plans. Musophobics might want to steer clear of this story. Same goes for turophobics. You have been warned. Keep in mind, however, if my other disclaimers didn't make this clear, I only have the faintest of outlines at the moment. This story will take me where it will. My goal with this story is to write it to the end, something of a long-term writing exercise, with the hope others might take an interest in my work and encourage me to keep at it. I've started a number of works before, even finished a few, but this is the first time I've shared any work in a public forum. My temporary cover was made by me, in GIMP using public domain images. If you can do better I'll happily accept your submission and give credit for your work here!

Madness Led by the Hands
‘Great, no… splendid. It was for naught.’ ‘Naught? Depends. If your desire is to send an army of killers our family’s way, yes indeed. If it’s plain survival you seek, then no.’ ‘They don’t coexist?’ ‘What… don’t tell me you’re still all groggy from the fall. Perhaps in novels, but real life is much tougher–––many more times a drag than anyone can possibly imagine. If dusty history is not a reliable teacher for you, then the pandemic surely took that place. At least that one has the advantage you needn’t be literate to savvy how reality always trumps imagination.’ ‘Whatever you say, whatever you say. So… what now?’ ‘Now? Isn’t it obvious? Now we shall survive. And live a good life.’ ‘Ohh… pretty much everything here has something against this little weird wish of ours. Might you consider?’ ‘Then pretty much everything here is a goner.’ ‘Hm, I don’t like the sound of that. Too much trouble, you see. I’d prefer laying low somewhere safe.’ ‘…nobody told you it’s mutually exclusive, no–––or did you forget about that too?’ ‘Fine, then I wish my future enemies all the best.’ ‘They are undeserving of your pity.’ ‘Of course not. That unlucky bunch won’t ever comprehend the reason behind their demise. Just let me smoke in peace and offer my condolence in advance.’ ‘Idem, let me study alchemy, unobstructed by all, if possible. This also includes you. By the way, are you sure you smoke to offer condolences? It seems like an excuse to me.’ ‘I-it is none. Plain truth, you see?’ ‘Seriously, why did I even ask...?’

Crafter's Passion (AKA Gleaners' Guild)
2038, California. Stan is doing his mandatory "volunteer" service years on a collective farm when he encounters Thousand Tales, a game that offers immortality to the super-rich. He can't afford to have his brain uploaded like those elite customers, but maybe he can turn a profit out of the game instead of just playing it. Not as a legendary swordsman or a brilliant wizard, but as a dealer in the junk no one else seems to want. If he plays his cards right, he can draw the attention of both the farm's supervisor and the game's ruling, meddling AI. Should he, though? LitRPG. Part of the world of "Thousand Tales", a novel series on Amazon, though no knowledge of it is expected. This story is around 12K words long. I'd appreciate feedback to help write a much longer version! Updates every few days. Cover art from game-icons.net, by Lorc, CC-BY. Update! This story was originally called "Gleaners' Guild". It came out on Amazon under the name "Crafter's Passion" and has many reviews there, thanks in part to the support of RR readers like you. Thanks! It even has a sequel, "Crafter's Heart".
