V5S1- Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction- Agents & Aliens Verse
Magnus Bane is basically seen as the FBI's resident joke. Most other agents see him as nothing more than a conspiracy nut, jumping from one crazy theory to the next. No one really takes him seriously, but as his father is the retired FBI director he's not going anywhere and they know it. He won't leave and he won't temper his ridiculous theories. In an effort to maintain the sanity of the other agents Magnus's office is in the basement and he's tasked with working the more peculiar cases brought to the agency... Sightings of unknown creatures, unexplained occurrences, and the occasional reports of UFO's and alien abductions... Basically all the cases no sane agent would regard with anything more than a slight chuckle and a tip to ease up on the alcohol... After his partner quits- the sixth in three months- the FBI assigns Alec Lightwood to partner with him in hopes the intelligent, practical minded ME turned field agent will be able to tamper the crazy out of this world-ness that is Magnus Bane... Only thing? Lightwood is more than he appears and his motivation to restrain the crazy conspiracy theories may be far more personal than even someone as imaginative as Magnus Bane can fathom...Complete

I Am in an Alien Prison
Alex, a 29-year-old gym coach from Mumbai, is the self-proclaimed "Mumbai Maverick"-single, enthusiastic, and a natural at any sport, from cricket to sprints. His life of coaching clients, cracking puns, and chasing personal bests on late-night Juhu Beach runs takes a wild turn when a blinding flash yanks him into the Arkvault, a seven-mile-long alien ship in deep space. Labeled Specimen 47, Alex finds himself in a cosmic prison alongside 100 young humans and 5,000 diverse alien species, each housed in tailored sectors. The ship's towering, robotic aliens provide food, clothing, and an Earth-like atmosphere, but their motive for collecting specimens remains a mystery. Armed with a painless, embedded bracelet that translates all languages and grants low-level ship access, Alex navigates this interstellar zoo with his trademark humor and athletic grit. As he befriends humans and quirky aliens-some friendly, some grumpy-he discovers the aliens are tiny creatures piloting robotic suits for show, a secret they bribe him to keep with promises of freedom and friendship. Alex, uniquely compatible with alien tech and abilities, earns a bio-suit that adapts to any environment and other powers through quests, from telepathy to super strength. But the Arkvault's faster-than-light tech means Earth has aged beyond recognition. Embracing his new life, Alex's adventure blends laugh-out-loud antics with the poignant reality of a home he can't return to, forging a path as the ultimate cosmic survivor.
