"Ugh... What the fuck was in that pizza?" I open my eyes and start to get up off of the rough and wet surface under me.
"What the hell? Why am I on a beach?" Looking around I feel a chill run down my spine and look myself up and down to realise the only clothing I have on is a pair of cloth underwear.
"Where the hell are my clothes? I swear I went to sleep with my clothes on- What the hell is that itch?!" Scratching my left wrist I look at it and to my surprise there's a strange crystal in it.
'This just keeps on getting weirder and weird-' I stop as a blue translucent screen appears infeont of my face.

"What the fuck?" looking at the window I see a question mark in the bottom right corner of it, I try and click it but my hand goes through.
"Maybe I need to focus on it?" Doing so after a second another window pops up and shows multiple options.

"This is as good a place as any to start I guess."
*Timeskip since I don't want to explain basic Ark mechanics*
After reading everything in the help menu I now had a basic understanding of where I was now and my situation.
"So I am basically in some sort of simulation where I have to learn and evolve to survive with prehistoric and mythical creatures?" Deciding to try and craft the pickaxe I grab rocks and sticks form the ground and fiber from the bushes.
I open the status tab again and decide to put my one point into Weight, doing so boosts it up to 200 and suddenly I feel slightly lighter. Focusing on the crafting sub-tab, I think of crafting the pickaxe and soon at the bottom of the screen it shows it crafting as in the edge of my vision I see a notification that says that materials were taken.
'This shouldn't be to hard.'
