Hello reader, my name is TekARK, and I just want to leave this introduction here to inform you of not myself, but of this story itself! :)
The simulation is the first public content that I made for my ARK fan story, The Chosen Survivor, which follows Locke Terranova in the place of the canonical player character, as he has to survive on the ARKs, and now through a new journey, Genesis. Lightly introducing the overall story, it pretty much follows the canon lore from the notes, making minimum alterations to it, whilst developing the main character and the ARK universe in a way that is tame and fitting for ARK's logic and setting.
The simulation kicks off the Genesis part of his story and was originally written down in the descriptions of Instagram posts, for over 100+ artworks that spanned from the release of Gen1 In really 2020 to January 2021. That was the original artwork series that made me continue to tell Locke's story publicly on my social platforms, and this one!
Following that artwork series, I would go on to write After ARKs, my first proper written work, a story that took place in my universe parallelly to The Simulation, but elsewhere in the world. Both of those stories would conclude with Fate of the cosmos, which would be the Gen2 part of my story. Because of the different locations/platforms, the stories could be found on, with AA (After ARKs) and FOTC (Fate Of The Cosmos) being posted on Wattpad, and The Simulation still remaining on my Instagram, 3,5 years back in time, I made the decision to go back and revisit the old story I had made and drawn for, to bring it here to Wattpad as well. And in doing so, I decided to somewhat rewrite the old story, going off of what had already been made, but polishing it and doing my best to bring it up to standard to the best of my abilities.
In this story, I will be reusing and reintroducing old art that was made in the original story back in 2020, therefore some artworks may be lacking heavily in quality, as they were taken directly from my Insta. To honor the way the original story was written, this story will not be formatted as chapters like in my newer works, but rather as "Posts", which are shorter snippets of stories that are compiled in groups into one chapter here on Wattpad. Posts are more focused on either narration or character interactions, depending on the scene the post covers.
And that concludes the introduction of my main content and this part of my survivor's story :)
I hope you'll all enjoy the journeys Locke goes on in the Genesis mission, and I thank you in advance for reading! :D
