Ethan and Kai aren't the best-matched partners for their floundering quantum-cooling startup, but a chance experiment might just save their company before it goes under. That is, until they find it has opened a door to another world. An orphaned girl with a strange disease (and an affinity for illegal gene editing) along with an outcast band of technology recyclers may be their only allies in stopping the CEO of Howell Industries from enslaving us all. Pushing against each other and their own limitations, they'll fight to find a way back home, and might just unlock the greatest human discovery of all time along the way. This is a work in progress. Any and all feedback is appreciated. New chapters coming soon!

An old family letter tells of an ancient family diary that prompts the search for a family legacy across centuries. Devious relatives, assassins, gangsters and a disquieting budding romance between cousins. This story takes place through different periods of family history and present day. Wattpad doesn't really have a category to cover it so I chose adventure. This was posted some time ago as The Letter but has undergone a facelift and a new name.
