ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion

The Arks Alternative Timeline: Chapter 0: Introduction

Hey there, if you all scroll down long enough, you might have seen “Chapter 1: Ben.” That was a bit unexpected, and I was just bored and decided to hop onto the fanfiction train.

Anyways, this chapter is more about what this series is all about. From now on, I will be labeling my stories with “The Arks: Alternative Timeline.” The Arks: Alternative Timeline focuses more on a story aspect rather than a game aspect. If you read Chapter 1 you may have noticed that the implant that Ben has doesn’t activate an inventory, or crafting or anything of the sort. Once again, this focuses more on a story aspect, rather than a game aspect. This also means that the domestication of creatures is going to be much more different than in the original game. Another thing to note is that it says “Alternative Timelines.” What that means is that the lore and background characters of the original game, like Helena or Rockwell are not here in this Alternative Timeline, hence the name. Rather, it will have it’s own plot and lore, which will be revealed and explained as the chapters continue. Well, if you read this Introduction, I wish you the best of luck on your endeavors. By the way, I will also be doing the stories in alphabetical order, so the next chapter (Chapter 2) will be in Allosaurus, and I will be doing it in alphabetical order for the Island, which means no DLC creatures until I get to Yutyrannus. Once we get there, I’ll explain where we go next.
