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.

Cyberpunk: Can I install game mods?

Logline Rocky drops into Night City with one busted secret: he can install modules in reality. Chrome, code, and consequences scale fast. Platform Synopsis (short) Rocky wakes in Night City and discovers a broken dev-menu grafted to his soul—he can slot world modules like a game. A back-alley clinic becomes his cover; a black-ops exoskeleton becomes his fist. One by one, legends orbit the anomaly: Lucy (ghost-netrunner), Rebecca (gun gremlin), David Martinez (overclocked Sandevistan), Jackie Welles (ride-or-die), and V (ex-Arasaka counterintel with more chrome than sense). Each “mod” rewrites the rules—streets, corps, even fate—until Night City births a devil and five new legends. Arasaka flags the crew “RED/SEVERE.” Rocky calls it patch notes. In-Universe Dossier (Arasaka: CONFIDENTIAL) Unit: Ascension Technology Special Operations Captain: L (aka Rocky) — operates an underground clinic; freelance merc; pilots Ascension Exo; anomaly: “world-module installation.” Members: Jackie Welles — ex-Valentinos; recruited 2074. V — ex-Arasaka counterintel; extreme chrome; cyber-psychosis risk: unknown. David Martinez — former Arasaka Academy; high-mod Sandevistan user. Lucy — suspected Arasaka netrunner defector. Rebecca — gunslinger; former Maine crew. Equipment Note: Most weapons/prosthetics are sourced from off-grid Ascension Technology; effectiveness is untested; assume lethal/unknown. Actionable: Engage only with armored response and net-containment. Prefer non-contact. THIS IS A TRANSLATION Lucy and Rebecca Art by @HIGH2333

Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic

This is the 40,000th year of the Empire's dominance over the Galaxy. The glory of the Great Expedition has long been buried in the dust of history. Su Yu has transmigrated here, opening his eyes to the ruins of a planet in front of him, utterly bewildered. On this planet, there are war machines that stretch for thousands of kilometers, now broken to the extreme, alien beasts whose roars can shatter mountains and rivers, and radiation alien beasts whose mere movement causes further destruction to the surrounding environment— There is everything here, except hope. Whether willingly or not, Su Yu struggled to survive for three years and finally inevitably contracted radiation sickness, seemingly about to become one of the despairing. Until his Profession Panel, capable of infinite job transfers, finally activated. "Ding!" "Detected that the host has met the prerequisites; do you want to take the profession of [Mechanic]?" "Completing this job will allow you to gain profession experience through daily maintenance, recovery, and assembly of mechanical creations, leveling up the profession, and with each upgrade, you receive an enhancement amplification of your physical attributes..." Looking at the pile of broken gun parts in his repair room, an unprecedented light lit up in Su Yu's eyes! Years later, at the core of the Empire, at the highest point of the Terra world, Su Yu, the Mechanic from Ruins Star, Ghost Shadow Blade of Dead Silence Wilderness, Initiator of the Giant God Soldier Project's Restart, Governor of the Shattered Star Region, Master of Mechanical Ascension, Supreme Throne of the Forging World, looked at the torrent of steel gathering below and commanded with a wave of his hand! [Our goal is to make the (second) (crossed out) Empire great again!]

The Walking Dead: Patient 0 - Lyra File (INTERMITTENT)

The Walking Dead - Patient 0: Lyra File from the Visions of the Future Saga ---- Dr. Kane is a brilliant, meticulous, and reserved virologist, with a career marked by secrets and extreme studies. But nothing prepares him for the proposal from LyraGen, a private laboratory that offers him total freedom to investigate a mysterious, seemingly harmless... and omnipresent virus. What begins as a routine investigation soon transforms into a scientific nightmare. TS-217 is not just everywhere: it's in everyone. Asleep. Waiting. When Kane discovers that the virus responds to death, the line between science and horror blurs, and his conscience becomes a burden as dangerous as the infection itself. While the world still sleeps, the outbreak has already begun in the darkness. And he, unwittingly, will become the first witness... and the key to understanding how it all began. This is the file the world should never have known. This is the beginning of the end. ---- This novel is about a virologist who faces an apocalypse and investigates the virus before it awakens. But when he realizes the severity of the virus, he tries to reveal the truth even at the risk of being silenced. What the future holds is unknown, but it's possible he will play a role in the story like no one before him. It's a spin-off from my novel, The Walking Dead: Visions of the Future. This novel will consist of background chapters within the universe of the main novel and then present the perspective of a virologist who survives the zombie apocalypse. The novel was intended to be short, simply to present a different perspective and narrative than the main novel, but I've already written 10 chapters, and the storytelling could be adjusted to participate in the post-apocalyptic future. Although there will be connections to the main novel, this is essentially a separate story with its own story. ---- REMINDERS THIS NOVEL IS NOT SET IN ANY OF THE SETTINGS OF THE ORIGINAL FRANCHISE. IT IS NOT BASED ON THE SERIES, THE GAMES, OR THE COMIC. THIS STORY IS ASSISTED BY A 'INTELLIGENT' FRIEND, SO YOU MAY FIND SOME DETAILS THAT ARE NOT USUALLY IN MY NOVELS. I EMPHASIZE THE WORD 'ASSISTED'. NOT GENERATED BY MY 'FRIEND' JUST HELP ---- Genres: Apocalypse/Zombies/Suspense/Horror/R18+/Romance/Thriller/Mystery/Sci-Fi/Post-Apocalyptic/Biological Horror ---- I am writing for money, so I need it mailed to me. ---- The cover image is generated by AI
