The Red Pike
Goliaths story
Chapter 3
Goliath stomped through the fields, in the distance he could see a village, as he walked closer, he noticed something: a giga. Goliath snarled and moved towards the giga slowly, he snuck up behind it, it was about his size. He rammed into it, knocking it backwards, he punched it three times and it ran towards the camp. Goliath followed it, the giga smashed through the protective wall and roared furiously. Arrows shot through the air, but nothing harmed it. Goliath ran to the camp and smashed through its walls, arrows struck its hide but shattered on impact. A Boulder flew through the air and hit the giga on the head. It retaliated angrily by crushing the catapult. The two giants tore through the village, killing everyone. When the two finally began to fight, Goliath quickly pushed it to the ground, he grabbed a wooden pole and stabbed it into the gigas head. Looking up at the top of the pole, he saw a flag with the letters SPQR (hope I got that right) and a picture of a pike and longneck rifle forming a cross shape. The flag of the Red Legion.

GOT A TRAILER FOR NEW SERIES!!!
somewhere deep in an ancient lab
*element pulsing*
“perhaps it will serve a purpose, let’s experiment,”
*scared bug noises*
“SCREECH” “AAAAAAHHHHH-“ “GULP”… the adventures of Doomfly
(Made in honor of my rhyinio, Doomfly. Rest. In. Peace. you will be remembered always, 😭😭😭😭😭)
It's gonna be a while before I post DD on here again. I'm going to finish the season one revision, then post season 2, then post season 3 once it finishes. However, I will be posting a non-ARK story (I know, "BLASPHEMY! WTH BRO?!", but it's cool. It has plot holes, but I'll solve them. This sstory is The Protectors, a superhero story in a universe where all major comic brands' heroes and villains exist. The main protagonist is Roy Carlo. He is a very smart character who y'all will learn more about if you read it. Everyone on the wiki at the very least knows of it's existence, but it hasn't been posted on here. I'm going to post in here since people will get mad at me if I post it where the writers aren't a big part of it. At the end of its run, it will have over 400 chapters. It'll be my only story that'll go on past 2030, as of current. I'm also going to be posting The Shadows Beneath, a Fallout-like story that's going to end up being pretty good.

Thanks for the great feedback Ben! I’m glad the more experienced writers here in achatina are enjoying my story. I’m still on debating whether or not to base my story completely on my single player experience (with some differences obviously) or to do something else.
I think I am going to take a different route, blending the classic ARK experience with a real story but I’m not saying anything because I want it to be a surprise. But yeah, I’ve really been enjoying my writing experience and I’m glad you all are too!

PD, Chapter 1 of Leviathan’s Lullaby was great! I can’t wait to read more.
PrimalApex and Wyvernian, I am reading Chapter 24 of Ultimus and Chapter 18 of Tales of Pandora right now.
Jerrald, Chapter 4 of The Island was awesome! I’m glad that the first tame was a Compy instead of the cliche Dodo, and I’m glad it was a passive tame since I feel like it’d be more realistic for such small creatures to be passive instead of knockout. I’m enjoying it’s uniqueness so far and I can’t wait to read more!
Break-it, just read Chapter 24 and it was good stuff! I can’t wait for the Megapithecus fight, and how it’ll go since these pirates don’t seem to have tames. I’m glad to see Bruce is getting more self-aware about his unknown origins. Also I can’t wait for Bruce to learn that he still needs to fight the Dragon before he can even begin ascending off the Island… and to the next ARK. It’ll be a long ride ahead.
Ok, Aston, you got me. Romance is something I’ve always wanted to add to my fanfics but just never had the chance around the thick plot (And trust me, The Obelisks plot is nothing but thick.) but I knew I had to add something. Of course, creatures that are very different kinds as couples are not something I’m a fan of. Yes, they are becoming a bit more than friends… but not exactly in a romantic way. BUT in my future stories there will be true romance. Lots of it.

Umm guys? So if I try to use Fandom is says something about how vault tech entry required or something and I can’t use Fandom at all.. did I get banned or something? Is it because I’m not home and I’m not on internet? Do we need another way to chat? I honestly don’t know what to do with this..

!IMPORTANT!
(please read this is a very important announcement)
There are impersonators out there. I feel like someone is impersonating me…
Did you guys read those tips that was something like:
“PLEASE STOP DOWNING ME!! WHY?? I DONT HAVE MEAN TIPS OR BAD WRITING!!!”
I’m sure that wasn’t me. I don’t remember writing those. I was gone for months. That was while I was gone I’m sure. I wasn’t able to write to you guys or in any section. Please report any tips that looks like someone impersonating or if your an author report any tips that you don’t remember writing or maybe something you would never write.
-INSTRUCTIONS IF YOU SEE AN IMPERSONATOR
X report and downvote that tip you don’t remember writing or you would never write
X convince everyone that wasn’t you so they are very aware there is an impersonator on the loose
X report didn't go through? Try to contact to someone who helped make this game
X pass down these instructions. This will help
-specialraptor or zznake
GET OUT OF HERE, IMPERSONATORS!!! WRITE YOUR OWN STORIES!
That’s a good question, Sandmaster. The answer for me would be music and a love for novels. Once I hear the perfect song, the ideas typically just come to me. Reading good books in the past help with that. And it’s soundtracks that help me think of scenes and plot. Characters depend on the song, along with my own imagination. It’s really fun, and when the rare idea shows up, I only get to work if it bangs enough. The better the plot ideas, the more I love it.

Ben, My guess for the adventure packs only being accessible to buyers is that the stuff will be on the maps but you just can’t craft/tame/use(probably can use) the oasisaur is probably tamable with an engram you can’t have without the pack or just simply it’ll say “purchase the frontier adventure pack to tame this Dino” or something (depending on taming method) and that it will still spawn as it is a base game creature technically you just can’t tame unless you own the pack similarly to when newer dlcs for evolved came out somebody could go tame one for you and go to a non paid map that you can play on and give it/it’s babies to you, they might do it a bit differently because this is a different case, But if they do it like they’ve always done you can ride your tribmates oasisaur/train you just can’t craft/tame it unless you own the pack and I’m sure the packs are gonna be like a third of the price that the dlcs were originally but I mean they’ve gotta make money somehow this is way better than what they could’ve done I’m just excited that we’re gonna get 6 new creatures on top of the 11-12 voted ones and the 4 new map ones it’s crazy also the new map is probably gonna be on the other side of the planet and the storyline of it will connect extinction and genesis better because it’s the only hole in the plot they can fill (before ark 2) but I’m getting off topic.. oh, oh, also I’m pretty sure they are expanding scorched earth because they said they are adding more caves (does that mean new bosses too? or just some caves don’t have artifacts..) and with the frontier adventure packs additions (trains and oasisaur) like can the oasisaur even fit on scorched like come on the art shows three of them in the desert maybe five of those things could fit on the evolved scorched and why would we need trains with that tiny map to go around the circle of the dune sea.. anyway this got way off topic.. one more thing Ben, you said you’ve never had time to play much, I get that, you can create a solo server and when you back out it pauses (just be careful apparently you have to manually save it using commands or it deletes save data currently..) and you can mess with settings to make it less of a grind. Only problem is you can’t play with other people that way but there are servers you can find with boosted settings and if you play pve you don’t really gotta get on a lot to play.. (or you can do what I did at first and go into creative and just hacke through bosses and cheat explorer notes to learn the story 🤣🤣 but maybe that’s just me)
-Wyvernain yes, I ramble.. you got a problem with that there’s the door.😂
