What are some stories about the achatina? Memorable achatina stories, wild encounters, and fan fiction.
Nazgûl!! Hi again.
I, as you should know, am one of the writers of The Omega Timeline and a member of the crossover council(the group of people that started TOT which is the big crossover we’re working on,lol. Although technically Ben was the first one who started TOT. :)
Here are the current members in the order that they joined:
Ben (the founder of TOT, author of The Arks: Over Heaven),
SunnyFox57,me (author of The Riddles of the Phoenixes series),
Wyvernian (author of Pandora Chronicles series),
PrimalApex (director of TOT, author of Ultimus and non-canon sequel to The Obelisk, Journey),
MrGhostGamer (author of Hope’s Cry),
Sylveevee (author of Queen of Aberration),
Moon (founder of Achatina Community and author of The Obelisk).
Break-it who recently joined and will be writing in the next arc(author of Son of Rockwell.)
Moon Tales Girl who recently joined and will be writing in the next arc.( Author of Moon tales)
The story is about characters from each of our stories entering a rift within the DDEX space time continuum called the titular Omega Timeline. The characters meet and interact but trouble starts to brew At the moment, heroes and villains from all respective stories are in an all-out war. However, there are many story arcs that will occur that dive deeper into other stuff. Some of the things planned are a Zombie Apocalypse story arc, which is planned to happen after the Heroes VS Villains arc, and an Omega Rockwell story arc, which is planned to happen after the aforementioned Zombie Apocalypse arc.
How the collaboration works is one person writes a chapter, then it goes onto the next person, and then the next and the next and it cycles back to the first person. The order of the writing goes based on who joined.
The writers in TOT write in the order that they joined.
The Crossover Council has discussed whether or not to allow you in TOT.
These are the conditions:
1.Your story needs to be at least 3,000 words.
2.Your characters must have depth or personality.
3.You must have a consistent writing schedule.
4.You need to have contributed to Achatina community. You can do this by giving feedback on other stories and talking with other writers and readers.
5.Crossover Council must approve of the person.
After a bit of debate and research(Think of it like a job interview. Except we’re looking at your story/stories) we have decided to allow you entrance in. You have met most the requirements and definitely have contributed to the community a lot.
You are now the 10th member of the Crossover Council. Your chapters will be after Moon Tales Girl’s.
You will write your first chapter of TOT after we finish the Heroes and Villians arc. You’ll write in the Zombie Arc. We’ll tell you the plan once we start on it. We mostly discuss stuff on the DDEX fandom but we give the DDEX Crossover Council members all the info they need to know. (U can also join the fandom if U would like.) Try to write you chapters in a fast manner but don’t rush yourself.
Don’t stress when writing the chapters. We will all give feedback and encouragement on each chapter. It’s for fun, okay. Here’s the info you’ll need when you join.
Which characters will join. Please have 3-5 only. No more than 5 plz
When will they join in their story. Like for example, what chapter they came from. Chapter one? Chapter eight? Etc.
Please give brief character personality and facts on your cast thats joining so that those who aren’t caught up can know.
And while you wait for TOT to get to the Zombie Arc you can start catching up on the stories! You’ve done pretty well on reading most of the stories so you only have to catch up on a few. If I recall correctly there is a list of the stories listed several times here in Achatina.
Thanks again! Cya around!

Important Announcement: Chapters 31+ are currently under the planning stage, I’m going to figure out what I’m going to do for the REST OF THE STORY so this may take a little while… perhaps a week at the maximum? But after planning is done I should be able to confirm the total amount of chapters before the end of the story… how much left can I predict? Still quite a bit: i wont spoil much but there are 10 artifacts in the original game…
Anyways, Paul has a message for all of you!
Heya dudes and dudettes! My name is Paul, and I’m Ben’s buddy! Long before Ben made this story of his, he created an Ark story called “Arks: Beyond Time”. It features me as the main character!!! Isn’t that amazing? Well, Ben is saying right now that I’m NOT, but I think he’s a liar. Why else would my name show up 247 times throughout that story? That must mean that I was the one destined for greatness! Nyah hah hah, Ben says it’s a flawed work that needs revision… but I disagree! Anything with ME in it automatically makes it a masterpiece! Well, I know you all may be bored waiting for the next chapter… and you know what maybe the others here won’t be able to deliver just yet. So I, the magnificent Paul, shall show you tidbits of the story as you all wait for the next chapter of The Arks: Over Heaven to finish! I promise you’ll love it, nyah hah hah! In fact, I’ve posted a tidbit right now in Archaeopteryx! I believe it will be in Aerial alphabetical… But if you want you can take a quick read! I promise you it’s much shorter than The Arks Over Heaven in length! - Sincerely, PAUL
BOB! I HAVE A SUGGESTION! I know you make Lego Ark Builds! There’s this app (if your on phone idk if it’s on computer) called Brickit App! You can post photos of Lego builds, you can keep track of ur Lego sets! And you can follow people! There are thousands more people on Brickit! I have it too! My name on it is @mrghostgamer! I hope you have a good rest of your week!
Yours Truly,
MrGhostGamer
Hi everyone, PrimalApex here with something special. A teaser!!! The event in this teaser happens just before chapter one of Journey. Which I plan to be one year after the ending of The Obelisk. The story will go in reverse all order. So in Yutyrannus and Prologue and Chapter one will be in the same section. This won’t start releasing until after the final chapter of The Obelisk. This has no real spoilers to the story in this teaser but it does have some part to the story. I hope you enjoy!!!
Journey: Teaser
It was a quiet night near the green obelisk, barely a cricket chirped. It seemed like any normal night. But for one particular creature, it wasn’t. The creature walked up the ramp of the green obelisk and stood there for a moment. His toe claw tapped on the metal of the obelisk base. He didn’t know why, but it gave him a slight bit of relief for what he was about to do. It didn’t stop him from shaking like a scared wolf pup. He placed an item down by the base of the terminal and started to walk away. But after a few yards he stopped and hesitated.
‘Why am I doing this, I don’t have to.’ He thought. ‘I have it good right now, why should I be doing this.’. He turned around, walked back over to the item and reached for it. But he stopped himself from grabbing it though.
“No, I have to do this. It’s the only way.” He said to himself quietly.
‘I’ll give it two, maybe three weeks before it’s all over. But who knows.’ He thought. He turned around and ran down the ramp and into the canyon, towards the forest. What he left behind at the base of the terminal wasn’t anything valuable or useful to him or many others. What he had left there was a rare flower. But what this flower meant to him was far more significant than to anyone else around him that night.
Moon!!!! I’m glad you’re back!!!!! I just read chapter 96!!!!! It was SOO GOOD AND SOO SAD all at once!!!! I didn’t expect Orbit to die TOO!!!!!!!! I can’t wait for the next one!!!!!!
Ben, you have left me with no option.
*pauses reading on The Arks… and searches TTDOT. “Here we go.”
I will come back and read The Arks once I’m caught up with Sunnyfox’s story. I didn’t want to spoil anything from Sunnyfox’s story after reading beginning part of chapter 23.5 (I just realized how far behind I am while writing this... I found the story search!!). Also the reason I didn’t do what you said is because technically Journey is the first fan fiction I have ever done. And I am not ready to spoil anything just yet. so right now I am sticking with the choices I have (though I should have probably done what you said before giving my choices).
I am really liking your story SunnyFox, I’m currently on chapter 6 or 7(couldn’t find 6). And I’m excited to continue it!! I‘ll probably be at the end of it by tonight or tomorrow!!! At the point of writing this post I had just found the story search button like yesterday and feel really stupid that I have been just using the google Dododex as a second source for like six months or longer and didn’t know you could press the story button at the bottom and use it as a search. Would’ve made some of my searches on Dododex a whole lot easier if I found it sooner…
PastelGothPower!!!! Welcome back!!!! It has been a while! A lot has happened since you’ve last been in!!!
Wyvernian, I see you put two new chapters out and I am going to read them right now!!!!! I get back to you when I finish reading them!!!
I think that’s it for right now. I may have fried my brain from all the information. Until next time!!!!

Hello everyone! Chapter 96 is out in Paraceratherium! There are now 4 chapters of TAOH left! Anyway, that was nice. It actually went better than I thought. This is a reminder that it might seem hard writing a chapter at first but once you get into the flow of it it becomes a thousand times easier.
Hello Moon Tales Girl! Welcome to Achatina section! Your story Moon Tales is very cool.
Break-it, sometimes you need to reflect on the direction of your story and what you want to do with it. Understanding that mastery doesn’t come immediately is fine, because if you work hard enough toward your goal of mastery you’ll reach it. Mastery is a very interpretive matter but I think you’re close to reaching it. You still need to work on a few things such as a consistent writing schedule and overall some more important literature topics that don’t need to be covered right now but your dialogue and plot and ideas with the story are doing great so far, so don’t give up! Anyway seeya around i sent a message about your previous three chapters a bit ago (although not too sure if you saw it yet). Anyway I noticed you just finished QOA. I hope it was as fun to read as I had fun reading it. I suggest heading over to read Hope’s Cry next by MrGhostGamer. The story is in the All filter alphabetically, although you will need to skip boss creature sections. The story is 24 chapters long and not too long of a read.
Sylveevee, Chapter 2 of WOA was awesome sauce! I wonder what Drake’s vision was all about and what the stone Sylveevee picked up was. Still curious about why Sylveevee and Pat betrayed Moonhigh. I think it’ll come up later. I’m guessing the story Drake learned was about the Phantom Legends as teased. Well that was a fun chapter overall!
SunnyFox57, Chapter 4 of The Lost Soul was great! It was so nice seeing Bella again even though we didn’t see her much in TTOTSP. I’m guessing the voice Tom keeps hearing is the Krakos. And now the strange thing in the shadows makes sense, it’s Bella who noticed and smelled Tom’s scent and decided to follow him. I can’t wait to see how the rest of Lost Soul goes!
Chapter 18 of The Lost World was also really nice. Kinda sad Chapter 17 can’t get posted because of technical issues but oh well. I don’t like Cedric as much as the others. I think my favorite characters are in the order Rowan, Kannon, Elayne, Oliver, and then Cedric. Cedric’s prankster ways come off as more selfish and inconsiderate than the other characters and in my opinion I actually don’t like him as much as Samuel from TAOH. Anyway it’s nice seeing Rowan get out of her comfort zone and learn to be more vulnerable and expressive. Wonder what that thing at the end was… Eh, we’ll figure out soon. Unless you pull a cliffhanger and have it in like the chapter after.
Moon, Chapter 10 of Pandora was really great! I really enjoyed the symbolism of the deformed bird and its parallel to Pandora. The fact that Pandora was able to envision the Flier horde again with her visions was really trippy and honestly really cool. I’m still going to place my bets on the fact that the thing scaring the horde is the Dodorex, which was teased on Fandom. I can also sense the tension between Bria and Rainstone. I hope they become friends and we get another convo between them. Also can’t wait to see Toxin actually pull his own weight and talk to people on his own… Anyway that was a good chapter, I can’t wait for the next! And also for whatever you could be planning and scheming…
Wyvernian, Chapter 49 of TOT was awesome! The banter between Nova and Fjordur’s Dragon about the whole name thing was pretty funny. The teleportation of all the villains was also really well done and makes sense since the White Obelisk can do it with the heroes. Drain’s transformation into the wyvern-like creature was also really cool. Also Rockwell’s Innards… can’t wait for HC Rockwell to discover this region eventually. Anyway since I think we’re nearing the end of the arc we should all discus which groups go to which regions of the TOT map for the corruption apocalypse arc we were planning right we’re doing that next? Anyway can’t wait to see what PrimalApex does for Chapter 50… (WOAH WE’RE THAT FAR IN CRAZY).
Although, I would say that I did not really appreciate the stab at Samuel in this chapter. I didn’t mind him crying over Star betraying him, but describing him as “broken” felt a bit disrespectful and done only because he is not a likable character within TAOH. I could also go over the fact that Star was described to not have the capability or desire to go out or do anything due to her feelings of not being there for Samuel, and thus it would be illogical for her to act out against him (this was explicitly stated in the Fandom discussion chain), I will not go over it now. Some communication about some of my characters would be appreciated and I think the same for others. I literally do not care what you do with them as long as I am told about it. I try my best to make everyone’s characters accurate and true to themselves and I expect the same from you. Anyway, nothing personal!
See you all soon!
Wyvernian, yeah I understand all of that. I just wasn’t sure if it was implied or lore. It definitely does make a lot of sense for the tidal lock to have been reverted and the Earth rotation to start once again. But,(SPOILER ALERT FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN’T READ THE LORE!) I did find on the Ark wiki lore page that it does say that during or around the time of when Diana and Li Mei Yin had uploaded Helena Daus to the Genesis Ship from Arat Prime that the Earth was still in tidal lock. Though I am not sure if this is canon or not since it’s in the wiki and not in the lore itself but the wiki is supported by the developers so I don’t know what to think about it. So it’s just a guessing game for us until we see Arat Prime in ASA with the full lore added to it. But another thing that I am definitely excited for more questions answered through the Animated Series with the lore more analyzed and explained in detail. Well, I think I that’s all I have to say for now. Until next time!!
