From Ben
Hey everyone, Ben here. How y’all doing?
Hello LunarDragon, good to see you and welcome to Achatina! I’ll be waiting around for your story. Uhh there’s a bunch of others you can read if you like reading. There’s a whole list somewhere in here. Ask Apex for it.
GitezGood I’d join butttt i don’t know your username and all that so I can’t find your sever. Plus it’s a non-ded server so that’d be harder to get together and all that. We’d have to schedule something.
OMEGA09, Chapter 3 of Falling Tides was nice! Wish the chapters could be longer though. Like, idk, the length of ten of these combined. Is that too much? Idk, most of these chapters can be combined though. Or extended in other ways, like describing the scene and all that jazz. I hope Dylan and Sarah don’t get together though. That would feel too cliche, to me at least. Don’t know why I’m pointing this out. Usually the main male lead and female lead always get together by the end of the book. It’s just icky in my opinion especially if their relationship isn’t that well developed.
MrGhostGamer, Chapter 4 and 5 of Life Before was fabulous! I don’t like Jackson though, his German accent is annoying. I’m guessing they’re gonna try to find a way onto the ARK. It’s a bit different from the typical ARK story, but still pretty cool. I hope we get more background on these characters though.
Sylveevee, Chapter 5 of War of Aberration was cool. A bit confusing, especially with the whole Sylveevee and Pat betraying the others thing, but I’m working on it. Sarah seems cool but we haven’t seen her enough yet so I don’t care about her too much. A part of me does though anyway. Don’t think anyone’s forgotten about WOA though, just busy writing. Also plz don’t spoil plz put spoiler warning and then space out the message 😪
Hey Moon Tales Girl, thanks for taking the time to read all the stories people have here. Not many people do that and either post their own story and that’s it or read one story exclusively. Anyway, Chapter 12- uhh i mean Episode 12 of Moon Tales was really nice, feel bad for John now. I can see why he’s more willing to just work for Sand Clan compared to Andromeda. Hopefully John snaps out of it. Sand Clan is really shady.
Nazgul, the two new chapters for Convergence were amazing! I’m guessing that the main character for Book 1 is going to be Spark. Also liked the build up for the mega tribe on Ragnarok. Most stories have pre-existing mega tribes which is pretty boring in my opinion. However I like the take that Convergence does. Also I already like Eddie I know I’m gonna like him a lot. I’m guessing that Spark is going to ask Cole to help him lead the army with him. Hoping we get to meet more characters, maybe from other towns. Anyway that was nice, can’t wait for the next chapter!
Wyvernian, Chapter 10 of OOS was awesome! Welp there goes Dr. Flight. Dawg did not need to die. I’m mostly wondering about how Ryker and his gang are going to ascend off the ark and go to the earth if they can’t get to the dragon trophy. It’s making me really curious, since they seemed to have spent quite some time on the earth from the epilogue in POP. Anyway, that was nice. Dr. Primalis is probably gonna die now tho.
Sunny, Chapter 24 was… grahhhhh but really well done. Well, that’s that. At least she’ll see him again. Still so curious about this new mysterious Shadowy Figure 2.0. They obviously know about Andrew and Emma and about the medallion and her future-seer sight, and inflicted a painful death for her (#1 opp by the way), but how do they know? We don’t have as many hints this time as Shadowy Figure though. I don’t think it’s the Master. He probably wouldn’t go out of his way to kill her on his own. And if he had the power to do that wouldn’t he just go after everyone else? Still. Interesting to think about also i lowk would have freaked out better if the spoilers didn’t get to me guys reminder not to put spoilers unless you have spoiler warnings or its super long.
Moon, Pandora Chapters 13 - 14 were phenomenal! The flashback scene with Bria’s father’s (who we now know is named Wind) relatives was awesome. Lune clearly is afraid of or is disgusted by Pandora, but it’s really sweet that Wind still cares about her. Sasha is probably my favorite relative right now, because she doesn’t care about the fact that Pandora is different from the other wyverns in obvious ways. I loved the foreshadowing at the end of Chapter 13 with the rocks surrounding Sasha, hinting Wind’s fate. I caught that detail fast and I’m still pretty suspicious of why Pandora chooses not to tell anyone. Maybe it’s because she finds it hard to talk to people. I’m also a little suspicious of the lightning wyvern who claimed to be a cousin…
Chapter 14 was also really well done. I’m betting that Bria’s friends are going to play a bigger role now. Bria’s dream was also really creepy, and the owl was really really cool. Owls typically symbolize wisdom, knowledge, and spiritual type stuff, but seeing one in a dream can symbolize death too. Mysterious creatures, they are considered. We know Bria won’t die since we know she’s ‘Mother’ in Chapter 1, which takes place after the events of Pandora, but we do know that the Vardiland will suffer lots of death in the coming events. The owl also speaks German, and the words it speaks roughly translates to “Hello there”, “Please don’t remember” or something like that. I have a feeling the owl appears more often than we assume, and this is the reason why Bria doesn’t have good intuition of the future that Pandora does. I like the magical element of this, which plays into the overall larger world of Fjordur, which is based on Nordic mythology. I’m still trying to figure out what the owl means though. It might be Pandora herself trying to make Bria forget so she doesn’t interfere with her plan, since the owl has those creepy eyes like Pandora does.
Overall they were great chapters and worth the wait. The mystery of Pandora continues…
Yeah that’s about it seeya.
Ben,
My favorite perspective in stories is probably third person. Although I do like first person, I’m just not good at it.
I don’t have a favorite book outside Dododex bc there is so many books I like.
And yeah, my favorite romance trope is friends to lovers.
My favorite ark map is the island.
And my favorite animal in ark is probably the procoptodon.
That’s all for now!

Apex, the explorer notes don’t mention the end of the tidal lock it’s just heavily implied because the end scene on extinction when the arks land the whole point was the arks are supposed to get rid of the element and further repair the atmosphere and return the earths rotation to normal, the only reason the earth didn’t completely die is because the arks created an atmosphere when they were in orbit and their job is to eventually land and fix the earth, so I believe that would include making the earth rotate properly because the plantlife and wildlife kinda require that.

Ark Tales (Chapter 2 of 20)
The raptor lunged at Hanson, who ducked and rolled out of the way. The raptor spun around, jaw still snapping as Greta jumped away. Suddenly, a gunshot echoed throughout the beach, and the raptor, now with a hole in its head, fell to the ground. Hanson spun around. A man sat atop a triceratops behind them, pistol still smoking from the gunshot. He slowly hopped off the triceratops, gun still pointed in their direction. “Who are you three?” He barked. Hanson blinked. “I’m Hanson. This is Greta.” “What tribe are you with?” He barked. “We’re not with any tribe.” Greta responded. “We crash landed on this planet by mistake.” The man’s eyes narrowed. “Yeah, nice try. Now show me your implants.” Greta and Hanson glanced at each other. “We don’t have any.” “Oh, come on.” The man said as he walked and seized Hanson’s left hand forcing the sleeve back. “Of course you have a-“ The man’s eyes bugged out, because, as Hanson had said, he had no implant. After a short pause, the man spoke. “This is not good.” He said, still staring at Hanson’s arm as he pulled him along. “Come on, you two. I’m taking you to my tribe. Then we’ll figure out what’s going on.”
That’s all, people! Hope you enjoyed this chapter pls leave comments in the bottom for ‘the man’s’ possible name!
(P.S. I left Tantum and John because I can’t focus on four characters at once. Sorry. 😳)

Questions to consider from Ben
What is your favorite perspective in stories? First person, second person, or third person? (ive been liking first person recently?
Favorite book outside the dex? For me I dont really have one since i stopped finding good books a while ago.
Favorite romance trope? I like friends to lovers.
Favorite Ark map? I love the Island because its the only map i play usually.
Favorite Ark dinosaur? The Iguanodon for me, fast and inf stamina its a fun scout.
Thats all.
Definitely Wyvernian, it will 100% be either the surprise or the first DLC that would come after Genesis 2. Did the Earth leave Tidal Lock? That’s one thing that I couldn’t find anywhere after double checking. Was it in the explorer notes? Because I always thought the earth was stuck in tidal lock. And I thought that would make it even more interesting for Arat Prime, that it would be Aberration dialed to 11. Because there would be no day cycle and no proper light beside the stars and street lights if there’s any there. But that’s what I thought. I didn’t know that the tidal lock was fixed, so it does make it more interesting about creature behavior if they’ll be like nameless during the day and have to retreat to the darkness or not. But we’ll see soon enough!!! Until next time!!
-Apex:)
P.S Welcome SandmasterXD, I enjoyed your poem for Moon’s PC. It was very well needed.
Ben,
Naming Dinos won’t keep them alive if you don’t want them to constantly die you can build a pen so wild Dino’s can’t get to them or you can boost the tamed dino health setting up a bit. And I see how the grass could get annoying have you tried a sickle? Idk if it works but irl they cut grass so. You could also try to find an outline mod or something to help with finding things through the tall grass and then put the mod on your ark. Anyway good luck with your adventure 😁 I haven’t been playing much because I find the island boring other than the Carcharodontosaurus there’s no really fun taming methods or anything, I miss wyverns.. excitedly waiting for a possibly bigger scorched earth.
-Wyvernain
Apex- ya I tried to collect them at first but it’s nearly impossible to do it legitimately and YouTube vids take forever so I just hacked them, I didn’t have any crash issues unless I tried to do it on either genesis map for some reason it broke the game to to the cheat on those maps.. idk why.
And I’m 99% sure the new ASA DLC will be arat prime because in their asa timeline they released it said the “surprise” (obviously new dlc) is right after extinction and before gen 1 so it lines up perfectly and like I said it’s really the only thing they can do without making up a new plot. If it is arat prime I’m interested to see what the map will be because the earth is out of the tidal lock so it’s not eternal darkness and winter anymore but still probably gonna be an arctic themed map and the arks have landed so we could get mini arks inside the map, I bet it’s gonna be massive. I’m very excited to see what new creatures theyll add for it too with and arctic/possible landed ark of various possible themes there’s some great potential for amazing creatures like a creature that was adapted to the endless night and winter but now that there’s a day night cycle it lives underground or just only comes out at night and can’t see very well during the day.

Ben, I will be explaining in the future or in the past why Aragorn is so moody. He doesn’t really trust new people, he’s very protective of his family but for a good reason. Also I just read your new chapter and all I could think of as I was reading it at the part with Ruby and Neddy was the song “can u feel the love tonight” from the lion king. Also I miggght have a new favorite character in ur story. Your character Ben is very funny. Idk if I like him or Aurora better.
Also everyone I just posted two more chapters of TTDOT. Things are getting very interesting. I hope y’all are enjoying reading it as much as I am enjoying writing it. If y’all aren’t reading it, it starts here in achatina and continues in abc order in all the creatures (except the mods). I’ll by praying for you guys. Also this book is part of a multi book series that me, Mr. Ghost gamer and another friend are working on.
