ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion

The Island- chapter II

Marcel’s hands hurt. Badly. He spent the past hour hauling huge branches to a spot on the beach he could build a small shelter. He couldn’t remember how he got here or much of anything for that matter, but he could remember basic survival skills. Food, water, and shelter were essentials if you were going to last more than a day. And since he had a water source right nearby, and the small bushes on the beach yield plenty of berries, Marcel felt he didn’t have to focus much on food or water. So now he was able to begin building a shelter. Nothing fancy, just a teepee style structure. He spent the next thirty minutes leaning the large branches together. Once he finished, he stepped back to admire his work. It was sizable and would keep him sheltered from the elements until he could figure something else out. His hands still hurt but it was worth it. He then realized how hungry he was. Apparently the berries weren’t as filling as he thought. He saw a few dodos on the beach about 100 feet away. He figured, worst comes to worst, he could kill then with his bare hands and eat them raw, but if he could find an easier way to kill then he would. His gaze fell down to the beach and he noticed a large, sharp rock, glistening in the sunlight. He picked it up. It was quite sharp, and a grayish color. He wondered, could I make something with this? He went back to his shelter and picked up a stick and some fiber-like material he acquired while picking berries. He then sat down and strenuously worked, tying the sharp roch to them end of the branch with the fiber material. His end result wasn’t pretty, but he was satisfied. It was a pick. A very primitive pick, but for now it would work as a tool and a last minute weapon, need be. He then turned his gaze to the dodos. As he turned around, he heard a high pitched hissing sound. He turned around and saw a short, two legged dinosaur barreling towards him. He was shocked but he raised his pick axe, ready to defend himself. All of a sudden, the dinosaur stopped. Marcel thought it was second guessing his decision to attack. Marcel, after all, was tall and muscular. The dinosaur cocked its head back, and its head snapped forward and his eyes burned. The dinosaur had spit something in his eyes. He panicked and started flailing his primitive weapon around. He could only see blurry outlines but he knew he hit the thing at least once, in the side. The dinosaur emitted a shrill cry and pounced onto Marcel, biting his throat. Marcel gurgled, and dropped to the ground. Dead.

Hey guys thanks for reading! Just a quick note, I’m trying to make my fanfic as real to the game as possible😅. Remember these are based on my experiences from playing the game, but as you will see later there are some differences between the gameplay and the actual story. Also I will be going through the list of creatures amd dropping a chapter in each. I started with the snail thing and I’ll end on the yutyrannus, then I’ll circle back. Thanks again for reading!
