From 2D To You: The Girl Behind The Screen

Three years ago, Ruko stood at the pinnacle of esports. As the strategist of the legendary professional team **NERVA**, he led his teammates to countless victories alongside the team's enigmatic roamer, **Mitsuru**. Their flawless coordination made them the most feared duo in competitive gaming, earning the admiration of fans across the world. Somewhere between late-night practice sessions and championship victories... Ruko fell in love with the person behind the screen. But after winning the biggest tournament of their careers, his long-awaited confession was met with a single sentence that shattered everything. > "I'm a boy." Believing he had been deceived, Ruko walked away from esports, abandoned his professional career, and convinced himself that trusting someone online was nothing more than a mistake. Now a high school student determined to live an ordinary life, he has no intention of touching competitive gaming again. Until one unexpected discovery changes everything. A farewell post from the retired team **NERVA** contains a hidden clue connected to his own school. The impossible suddenly becomes possible. Mitsuru was never gone. And the girl he had been searching for all these years may have been closer than he ever imagined. Forced to return to the game he left behind in order to save his school's struggling Gaming Club, Ruko finds himself surrounded by four very different girls, each hiding secrets of her own. **Kazuha Shirogane** — his sharp-tongued childhood friend and the seemingly perfect Student Council President. **Risa Yukimura** — a silver-haired genius whose frightening analytical mind can dissect a match within seconds. **Hikari Amamiya** — a popular school idol whose knowledge of Ruko's past raises more questions than answers. **Kana Fujisaki** — an energetic food vlogger whose unpredictable instincts often defy logic. As the club climbs from complete beginners toward the national stage, friendships deepen, rivals appear, and the line between the virtual world and reality begins to blur. Because the greatest mystery isn't who Mitsuru is. It's why she hid the truth. In a story about hidden identities, broken promises, second chances, and the courage to step beyond the screen, Ruko must uncover the truth behind the legendary player who changed his life... ...and finally meet the girl behind the screen.

Umamusume: It All Started When I Got Sent Flying Ten Meter

Years later, when he would finally hold the “Lifetime Achievement Award” in his hands, Makoto would recall one very specific afternoon—the afternoon he was sent flying ten whole meters… By Kitasan Black. At the time, he had only recently gotten his Central Trainer’s license. Unfortunately, his lack of experience was obvious, and many Umamusume turned him down without a second thought. And so, after being rejected yet again, maybe his mind wandered a bit too much. While waiting to cross at a red light, he spotted a child nearly step into oncoming traffic. His body moved before his brain could catch up. The kid was fine. He was not. Because he got hit. Not by a car, but by an Umamusume. She had black hair, red eyes, and a matching black tail. And she slammed into him at full sprint. Thanks to years of quiet self-training—secretly guided by memories from a past life—he managed to twist midair and land without too much damage. Still, getting launched like that wasn’t exactly part of his daily routine. The Umamusume, on the other hand, was completely panicking. “I-I’m so sorry! Are you hurt?! A-are you okay?!” “I-I'm Kitasan Black! A first-year at Tracen Academy! Pleased to meet you—wait, no, that’s not what I should say right now!” “I—I mean—I’ll take responsibility! I’ll take full responsibility for this!!” That’s how it all began. The girl’s name was Kitasan Black. And this was the start of everything. = = = = Note: Some character backgrounds and settings have been reworked for narrative purposes. This version expands the Umamusume world while staying faithful to the spirit of the original. Non-Umamusume fan can read it as a mix of sports drama and school life.
