What do you get when you cross a light-bending assassin, a broke teenager who can repair machinery by talking to it, a pack of dimension-hopping tourists, and a seagull with an existential crisis?
You get Soda Crash: The Path of the Unseen.
One cosmic accident is all it takes to throw them all into a world where the locals fly on swords, settle legal disputes with color-changing worms, and consider anyone with blond hair a ‘Northern Barbarian.’ Now, this unlikely crew must navigate ancient sects, power-hungry cultivators, and the very real possibility that their best survival tool is a Swiss Army knife with a ‘detect bad vibes’ function.
Forget heroes and villains. This is a story about survival, absurdity, and the universal truth that no matter which universe you’re in, bureaucracy is always a nightmare and there’s never a good time to run out of coffee

"It took me a while to get condoms."
Anna was taken aback by the unexpected words.
"I have two condoms."
"I'm afraid that won't be enough."
"How many times are you going to…?"
Luciano cupped Anna's face in his hands and kissed her as she murmured in surprise.
His lips smelled of wine as he deepened the kiss.
He said, "Put your palms out."
With a puzzled expression on her face, Anna held out her hands in front of her.
Then, Luciano pulled out an uncountable number of condoms from his pocket and dropped them onto Anna's hand.
Several piles of condoms fell to the floor.
'Take them and wait for me on the bed,” he said.
"Isn't this too much…?"
Anna was speechless as Luciano swiftly removed his clothes.
Standing naked under the light, his arousal was evident.
"I'll indulge you as much as you desire, Bella."
Anna. The name Anna held little significance.
Nor was Anna's presence in the family.
It was only after she found herself alone that she embarked on the journey she had longed for.
Yet, right from the start of her journey, she became entangled in an unfortunate affair.
At that pivotal moment when she was on the brink of giving up on everything, a man she had just met extended his hand to her.
She knew all too well that accepting the hand of someone who offered it freely could be dangerous.
However, she felt like it would be fine if it was that man.

“Brother, you are a disgrace to our empire!” the Emperor roared, his voice echoing in the throne room. “You drown yourself in wine while your niece, the brightest jewel of the empire, is being courted by geniuses and kings!”
Leaning lazily against a pillar, Wei Feng took a long swig from his wine jug and let out a discreet burp.
“Mmm... And what’s the problem?” he replied, his voice slurred. “Those ‘geniuses’ are just noisy peacocks. And as for the jewel of the empire... she already has an owner.”
Wei Feng, the Drunken Prince, the Royal Failure who renounced the throne. Everyone in the empire sees him as a useless parasite. What they don’t know is that, in the shadows, this decadent prince is building a collection of the most powerful, beautiful, and dangerous women the world has ever known.
And the first piece in his collection, the most precious and forbidden, is the Crown Princess herself.
“The heavens could strike me down with a thousand bolts of lightning, and the ancestors could curse my name for ten thousand years...” he whispered to her one night, his warm breath against her earlobe as her body trembled under his touch. He paused, a smile that could almost be felt in the darkness. “...and still, every second of this sin with you would be worth it. Let them call me a demon. What kind of demon wouldn’t enjoy corrupting an angel?”

When the cursed bell tolls, someone dies.
This time… it’s coming for me.
I never believed the town’s legends—not until the night a crow dropped a thin metal strip at my feet with my name carved into it. Since then, every toll has brought frost-script warnings, eerie deaths, and a shadowed boy who appears out of nowhere… always right before things go wrong.
Callen Roe.
Bound to the bell. Dangerous, magnetic, impossible to trust.
And somehow always a step ahead of my fate.
Then there’s Ezra Quinn—my oldest friend. Steady. Safe.
Except lately he watches me like he’s afraid of losing something he never said out loud.
Jealousy is unraveling him, and I don’t know how to stop it.
As the debt ledger awakens and classmates start vanishing, I’m pulled—along with a handful of survivors—into a deadly game against the cult that forged the curse. The bell demands payment. The ledger keeps writing. And every new secret points back to me.
Caught between two boys and hunted by an ancient debt, I’m running out of time.
I have one impossible choice:
Break the ledger… or pay with my life.

After a tragic accident that sent her back 843 years in time to the year 1179, in the Middle Ages, during the reign of Baldwin IV of Jerusalem, Kate Mitchell, a wealthy business tycoon in the pharmaceutical industry, a gifted ex-military, a pharmacologist and botanist, and a brilliant archer from 2022, wakes up as Lady Philippa, a pretty, innocent, frail, and proper young lady of House Antioch, with whom she shares nothing in common. She realised she had died on that day, and her soul travels back in time and takes over the body of Philippa, a helpless lady who would face tragedy, betrayal, and scandal before dying young and heartbroken.
She chose to live as Philippa because she had a second chance at life and only one goal in mind: to live and survive at any cost. To succeed, she must thrive and learn to live in the Medieval era, where nothing is common for her, and, above all, she must avoid an arranged marriage, which will doom Phillipa to death after a terrible heartbreak.
Lady Philippa, unfortunately, is about to be engaged to an unknown man, and she must devise a plan to prevent this from happening. Kate's background as an ex-military officer, pharmacologist, and botanist, as well as her limited knowledge of history, will be invaluable in surviving the historical mediaeval times when modern technology was out of reach. However, she requires the assistance of the reigning king, Baldwin IV, who is suffering from leprosy at the time. She'll have to take control of the situation. It is up to Kate's bravery and intelligence to find a way to persuade Baldwin IV to help her, and she has few options other than joining his royal court.
Will the king accept her, or will she perish as the body's original owner? Will she be able to change her destiny? Alternatively, will she be able to find the love and family she seeks?

Written in a way that is (hopefully) fandom blind friendly!
Violet Evergarden finds herself taking an unexpected assignment as a handmaiden for Miss Isabella York while she attends a prestigious women's academy. It's a far cry from Violet's typical work writing letters and made more complicated by the secrets they must keep.
This story is a re-imagining of the movie Violet Evergarden: Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll. It explores what might happen if Violet walked a different path and eventually reciprocated Amy's feelings. The story will go beyond their time at the school and expand on the adversity they have to overcome if they want to be together.
