Code Reading

Defined dom, only one element, a data-text element has attributes, the attribute value is equal to the text element:

<div class="text" data-text="BREAK">BREAK</div>

Centered:

html, body {
    height: 100%;
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
}

Set the gradient background color:

body {
    background: linear-gradient(brown, sandybrown);
}

Set the text font size:

.text {
    font-size: 5em;
    font-family: "arial black";
}

Add text to the use of pseudo-elements:

.text {
    position: relative;
}

.text::before,
.text::after {
    content: attr(data-text);
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    color: lightyellow;
}

Set the left side of the text mask:

.text::before {
    background-color: darkgreen;
    clip-path: polygon(0 0, 60% 0, 30% 100%, 0 100%);
}

Set the right side of the text and the background mask:

.text::after {
    background-color: darkblue;
    clip-path: polygon(60% 0, 100% 0, 100% 100%, 30% 100%);
}

When the mouse across, the mask words are shifted on both sides:

.text::before,
.text::after {
    transition: 0.2s;
}

.text:hover::before {
    left: -0.15em;
}

.text:hover::after {
    left: 0.15em;
}

Hide auxiliary elements, including the original text and the background color of pseudo-elements:

.text {
    color: transparent;
}

.text::before {
    /*background-color: darkgreen;*/
}

.text::after {
    /*background-color: darkblue;*/
}

Text on both sides to increase skew results:

.text:hover::before {
    transform: rotate(-5deg);
}

.text:hover::after {
    transform: rotate(5deg);
}

Fine-tune the height of the text:

.text:hover::before {
    top: -0.05em;
}

.text:hover::after {
    top: 0.05em;
}

We're done!
