Woo hoo Chapter 18 is released! So I made a miscalculation and I accidentally released Chapter 17 in Ichthyornis, so Chapter 18 will be in Lymantria. I rereleased Chapter 17 anyway in Manticore because it feels kinda weird to just leave it like that. Anyway, I’m pretty proud of myself since I reached 21,000 words for Arks Over Heaven! Woo hoo! For reference the Obelisk is 46,000 words!
So yeah, I’m pretty happy that I’ve managed to make it so far…
SunnyFox, I just LOVE Demise of Tortuga. It’s actually been a huge blast to read. It’s probably my favorite story on the platform right now. Maybe I just needed a breath of fresh air from all the Dinosaur POV stories. I just love all the dynamics and stuff so far. It’s impressive you’ve made a lot of progress since you’ve started, I’m proud of you.
Anyway ill discuss the recent chapters. So it seems Jack and Jay are learning how to fight with swords… awesome, and it seems Eric’s father Josh knows how to fight with swords too. And was arrested at some point… maybe he doesn’t like how Tortuga is run (like the mayors and laws). And aw man, Chapter 19 is really sad. Why’d Hawkthorne had to do that man?? I guess corporal punishment is allowed on Tortuga… which sucks, it must have really hurt for Emma and Jay and Jack. Also I guess I feel a little bad for Hawkthorne. She was treated the same way when she was little too, and it seems she doesn’t like the new mayors either (she probably thinks they’re brats because they’re so young… since michael was only 17 i think). I still don’t know who was the lesser of the two evils though, Hawkthorne or Tom or Mr Creepazoid or whoever. I guess Mr Creepazoid since he doesn’t really have a reason to be bad.
Also the worldbuilding is cool. I’m wondering if the Volcano, El Elemento is a volcano in the real game. Maybe the volcano on the Island map? That would be cool, or maybe just a completely different one. Also so unfair Aaron Jr gets ignored like that, like cmon he got his hand raised Hawkthorne!!!!
Also Andrew’s such a gentleman 🥺. Wanting to help Emma is so nice of him.
And this ball that the mayors are holding… Goodness Mr Creepazoid probably wants to use this as an opportunity to get with Emma. Too bad Emma already has a dance partner, 😉 (hint hint his name starts with an A and ends with a W).
Well this was so much fun to read and write. Although I think youll be interested in the lore drop of Ben in Over Heaven, seeya!
Ben, I’m glad u like my story! I can’t wait to read your next chapter! Things are getting instersting. 😏. Im sorry I won’t be posting any chapter today bc I’ve been busy but I’ll be working on it. Btw who is y’all’s favorite character in my story so far? I think my favorite is probably…Jay. I intentionally made him sarcastic and funny. Anyways…Cya!

P.S: SandmasterXD, nice poem. Good job! R.I.P Moon’s computer.

No daily chapter today :(
Sunny, I did read Chap 13 and 14 of Tortuga and so much has already been revealed. I guess I was right about Tom and his spouse (or ex-spouse? We still don’t know if she died or if she left him). Aragorn does feel a lot of regret for him, and it’s really sad that it ended up that way with their friendship :’( I wonder who the other people were in the photo? Other friends? Only time will tell. Also I guess the mayors perished, Mayor Roi and Reine. But something seems a bit fishy to me, they seemed a bit healthy in my opinion. What if they were assassinated by their own children?! That’s why their children didn’t seem to really care about their parents’ death… But that’s just a thought. And of course Mr. Creepazoid is being a weirdo again as always. Don’t know why he’s even considering marriage just to be with a pretty girl. Such a selfish and inconsiderate brat.
Yeah that’s about it. I’ve also been playing ASA, single player as Wyvernian suggested (thanks for that) and I’ve been making great progress. I got myself a thatch hut near the red Obelisk, and I have tamed an Iguanodon and Pteranodon. I tamed a Parasaur a while back but it died to Troodons. It didn’t have a name, maybe that’s why it died so easily. I’ll be naming my dinosaurs from now on so they don’t die so easily. I did a bit of explorer note/dossier hunting and I was able to get to Level 70 easily because of that. One of my goals besides defeating the Overseer is to collect all the explorer notes, along with taming all the dinosaurs and getting max level as we wait for Scorched Earth and The Center to release this year.
One thing I dislike about ASA is the grass. It makes it way too hard to find dead dinosaurs in the grass, so i’m already losing resources by the second (especially precious chitin). Sometimes I can’t even find my own stuff, because they removed corpse locators in favor of the ping system. I wish they re-added corpse locators, or make a setting to disable grass, or just add outlines/tracers to dead bodies in the vicinity. It would make my life easier, considering ASA should also be adding quality of life things.
That’s all for now. I’ll keep you updated on my ASA journey as time passes. And, maybe tomorrow I’ll release Chap 16 of The Arks Over Heaven. But that’s not a promise.
A little message for the impersonators—
Me: Ok guys—
Rust, Crimson, Forest, Spark and Nyx: ._.
Me: Listen, we have an imposter on our hands. *shows them the files*
The Files: *several tips with rather outlandish comments*
Spark: So someone’s impersonating people?
Me: yes.
Forest and Nyx: Why?
Me: I don’t know, because they want to?
Spark: Have you figured out who they are?
Me: No, you can’t do that.
Crimson: *snorts* Gimme that computer, bet ya anything I can.
Me: That’s not how Dododex works, and no, we’re not here to find out who they are. We’re here to—to talk to them.
Crimson: TALK to them??
———
Me: Aaaaand go!
Spark: Imposter, if you listening, I’d like to say that what your doing is wrong.
———
Nyx: You don’t need to be like that.
———
Forest: Kinda rude, if you ask me.
———
Crimson: *mellow murderousness*
———
Rust:
Rust:
Rust: Did your mother not love you?
Me: RUST—
———
Forest: Listen friend. You obviously have a reason, bad or not. The question is, why do it when there’s so much more you can do?
Set the pranks aside, come in, join us!
Be our friend.

Hey DinoLover360, don’t worry I’m not sick. I have just been kind of lazy. I should be more active now though. I just read Chap 2 Part 2 and it was crazy to see that the Alpha Tribe has Nerva as a member, I’m guessing that the Alpha Tribe takes some inspiration from the New Legion in the ARK lore. Jannie also has such a cool nickname: The Spino Beast. It was also crazy to see that Jannie’s tribe had a Titanosaur all along and that John was one of the alpha tribe members. I’m curious to see what happens in the next chapter. There will probably be some sort of battle to get Jannie free. Anyway, seeya next time!

From: Ben, & KM
DiploLover, Chapter 29 of CON was awesome! Prince and Pax really cant contain their lust for Astra even though her lover died like a day ago smh 🙄. Im wondering how they’ll get Reign out of that sticky situation and what KJ’s true name is, since they abbreviated Ripley Jane to RJ.
Okay, here’s a large list of stories for all to check out, don’t think I am saying read all of them, just pick stories you want to read.
The Obelisk by Moon: starts in Achatina and goes through Tameable and finishes in Plesiosaur.
Pandora by Moon: Starts in Amarga and goes through Breedables
Clans by Moon: Starts in Allo and goes through Rideables
The Ark Over Heaven by Ben: Starts in Wyvern, goes up through reverse aerial, goes down aquatic then back up through reverse terrestrial.
Heroes of Pandora and Protectors of Pandora by Wyvernian: starts in Allosaurus and goes down through the all category. Scrolling down will be needed for some
Legends of Pandora by Wyvernian: Starts in Yutyrannus and goes up through the all category. It skips Yi Ling though.
Crowns and Talon by Wyvernian: Starts in Allo and goes through all category.
The Riddles of the Phoenix series Sunnyfox: Starts in Allosaurus and goes through the all catagory. Scrolling down will be needed for some.
Overseer by SandmasterXD: Starts in Ferox, however it goes in no particular order and is hard to remember where they are all at.
All The Light We Cannot See by SandmasterXD: Starts in Allo and goes down through Island Order.
Hope’s Cry by Mr.GhostGamer: Starts in Achatina and goes through the Island Order and finishes in Dimetrodon.
Hope’s Call by Mr.GhostGamer: Starts in Allo and goes through Ragnarok Order.
Life Before by Mr.GhostGamer: Starts in Allo and goes through the Fjordur section.

Ultimus by PrimalApex: Starts in Tuso and goes through reverse aquatic with a two exceptions brought up in Prologue.
The Omega Timeline Collaboration: Yi Ling Exclusive.
There are a few more, but this is a good start. Please don’t think I’m saying read every single one now. Just pick whichever ones you want to read now. Until Next Time!!!

So about your question Wyvernian. I am pretty interested in the creature and the new additional DLC’s for the maps are something I kinda wanted for some maps for a long time. I have wanted a few more Fantasy Creatures for Ark and getting this Reefback of a creature is pretty awesome to get!! Of course if it was a Gorgonops I would be much happier. But the creature looks pretty awesome and it definitely a big addition!! For a price of about 10 dollars I would pay for this new DLC pack 100%. Trains and wagons are something I’ve always wanted to see come into Ark since SE first arrived. And to pay for it I don’t see any problems with it. Now about it being PTW seems very hard to comprehend for me since what will most likely happen is that these DLC packs will have their own servers away from the normal servers. Similar to what we see with official mod servers on PC. That way there’s no huge problem with people building trains and riding Oasisaurs and others unable to build or ride them. But that’s what I think will happen. Also I hope we do see two creatures for each map, but it might be we are going to be waiting on the Centers DLC or that it’s only for Story maps.
Also just wanted to mention that I haven’t yet released any of my chapters to Journey yet, I will start when Moon finishes the Obelisk. But in the meantime I am happy that I’m just able to write my story down as much as possible beforehand. I will though be very excited and nervous to showcase my story once I start releasing them!! But anyhow. Until next time!!
P.S, I really like the W.O.A name idea!!

I just posted chapter five and six of TTDOT. Also Ben I just read your newest chapter. Let me just tell you: not only is there loving brewing between Neddy and Ruby but also between Aurora and Samuel. They might not always agree but… there’s definitely something there… the way Samuel is trying to protect her from her fury it’s just….😉. Also it’s funny how Star is trying to keep them apart. She’s like: Samuel is mine! Anyway I don’t think Lynx has left Dododex, she posted a few days ago in silver dye but idk much about anyone else. Cya!
