A popular high school football star with a deadly secret – Dexter fans, this one’s for you
Hey r/BookPromotion,
If you loved Dexter — that perfect mask of a charming, successful guy hiding a dark passenger who delivers vengeance — you might enjoy my ongoing web novel.
Story:
Yuuma Tsuchida is the “Sleepy Ace” of Valkyrie Academy’s football team. Handsome, popular, second-most admired guy in school, and seemingly living the dream as a first-year star player.
By day, he’s the golden boy everyone envies.
By night, when the gates close, the Spirit of Vengeance takes over. Something cold, calculated, and ruthless comes out to play.
Not everything that glitters is gold… and Yuuma Tsuchida is definitely not gold.
This is a dark psychological sports thriller heavy on dual identity, moral gray areas, inner darkness, and the constant tension of keeping the mask intact while the “need” grows stronger. Expect intense football matches, school intrigue, twisted revenge, and a protagonist who walks the line between hero and monster.
Here's An Excerpt:-
"Remember the Code," Rentaro warned, his voice turning stern. "We don't just win. we neutralize. You play like a ghost. You defend like a wall. By the time the whistle blows, he shouldn't just be tired. He should be terrified to touch the ball again."
"And I'll take his cleats," Yuuma added internally. "Custom-molded, $300 a pair. He doesn't deserve to wear them if he's going to use his status to lure kids into trouble. I’ll add them to the bag in the basement. A souvenir for a career I’m about to derail.
