SCP-4730 in █████, Oregon.
Item #: SCP-4730
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SPC-4730 Is to be kept closed inside of an SCP Foundation site, currently known as Site-██. Due to SCP-4730’s Anomalous properties these sites are to be constructed from portable or cheap materials so they can be transported easily once SCP-4730 is found again to be re-contained.
Anybody who approaches the Site is to be interrogated on why they have come to the location and given Class A Amnestic.
Description: SCP-4730 is building resembling a library built in the 16th Century, which randomly teleports and manifests to another location every 1-3 months. SCP-4730 manifests 3 days after it disappears in a remote location near towns on city’s. It has been located in several countries and is currently residing in █████, Oregon. On the exterior it appears to be a completely normal library from the 16th century fitting the look at the time.
Upon entering SCP-4730 the building seems to look like a completely normal library except for the Alter in the centre. When a human enters SCP-4730 a Caucasian Male in a grey hood referring to himself as “the gatekeeper” will manifest on this alter called SCP-4730-1. He will talk to the subject entering saying the words “Hello adventurer! Welcome to my collection. Take a book and enter any world you seek!”. Any attempts to interview or contain SCP-4730-1 have resulted in failure as he refuses to talk about his origin. Further attempts to remove SCP-4730-1 from SCP-4730 have resulted in failure with him removing foundation personal through an unknown way of teleportation.
Upon choosing a book as SCP-4730-1 requests he will escort everyone currently in the library to the back room, at which the Library’s true anomalous properties are shown. In the back room resides a large surface of water, where SCP-4730-1 throws the chosen book into the surface and encourages everyone in the area to jump in. Jumping into these books takes whoever went in to appear in the book they chose, which will be discussed later. 12 peopleat a time can enter these books at a time and a subject cannot enter the library again until the next day. The foundation has tried several times to take these books; first they asked SCP-4730-1 to take these books out which he denied, then a D-Class Personal tried to steal the book. He was successful until he exited SCP-4730 with the book shattering in his hand. The subject was not allowed back in SCP-4730 and the book was replaced the next day.
The books in SCP-4730 have been labelled SCP-4730-2 to 4730-34, these books have all been accordingly written by SCP-4730-1. Any other books brought in to SCP-4730 not written by SCP-4730-1 will be denied. These books fall under four major categories; horror, sci-fi, fantasy and crime along with other smaller categories such as romance, mystery and dystopia which have not been researched yet. In these books the subjects will be assigned roles as the characters or new ones if there is more people than intended for the book. If a user dies or is written out of the book they will resurface from the water in SCP-4730. They will know the entire plot once out and will often be confused onto where they are with the affect lasting for a short period. The subject takes exactly 10 minutes to reappear despite the book taking place longer than the time period.
Events in the books cannot be recorded as any equipment including clothes will be taken of the subject and returned to them after their book has ended. Due to no negative effect taking after using a book in SCP-4730 access is allowed to Foundation personal as relief as long as it is granted by higher class personal and they avoid books tagged as ‘horror’ to avoid a repeat of Incident SCP-4730-3.
The following books that have been wrote down by D-Class during testing can be seen below.This includes Incident SCP-4730-3.
SCP-4730-2 Test Log A
Solo Test / Written By D-33789
Setting: Dungeon
Main Character: Ellwood, the legendary Dragon Hunter
Time in SCP-4730-2 according to D-Class: 7 hours
Plot Synopsis: The book starts of being told by some voice. It sounded like the Gatekeeper [SCP-4730-1] talking to me. He told me “Welcome Hunter” or something like that. Then he told me my name was Ellwood and gave me a sword. Weird. I was tasked of going into this dungeon place called Dragon’s Keep to get his special crown. Seemed cool so I went in.
The doors shut behind me and I kept going. It was the most fun I’d had in a while, killing Goblins, Ogres and Skeletons. Freaky stuff. I went at least 10-20 floors down, killed some big guy half way through and found a █████ ton of gold. Only thing I didn’t like was the puzzles, got stuck on one for hours Man.
Ending:After doing all that I found this room full of gold and jewellery. In the centre was a goddamn golden dragon. It said something like “this is my keep” and told me to get out. My sword didn’t work on it but it shot some sort of explosive fireballs out its mouth. I used them on 4 pillars in the room and the roof collapsed on him.
The Gatekeeper Guy [SCP-4730-1] appeared again and congratulated me on killing the dragon. I took the crown of its head and I put it on mine, after that there was this huge white light and I was back in the pond. All this stuff did happen right, its Not a dream?
Hey Dr.█████ Can we do this again? I’m willing to do another test.
SCP-4730-3 Test Log A
Solo Test / Written By D-34788
Setting: Planet X
Main Character: Jane Steel, Space cop.
Time in SCP-4730-4 according to D-Class: 1 Week
Plot Synopsis: This started of with me in bed. I got up and found some weird ass clothes. It was some sort of dark blue bodysuit with the words G.D.F on the back.
I got out and found a goddamn robot driving the ship. It looked like a person but made of metal, had a blue dot on its back as well, the thing called itself “Blue”. I remember hearing a voice in the bed but I can’t remember what it said, it was weird cause when I woke up in knew exactly what was going on, where I was and my ‘mission’.
I was on some sort of City planet, called Planet X. Just buildings. I was part of the Galactic Defence Force and my mission was to destroy the Arvonians, these lizards who could shape shift into people who had infiltrated the planet. I started of going to a station before going to a bar and killing one of those Arvonians disguised as a chef.
It escalated quickly until I realised the entire planet was run by them and had been for several months. Jane was made a criminal, pretty scary to be hunted down by lizard men.
Ending: After some time me and the robot headed to some hidden base underground called Eden. The lizards were developing some “ultimate weapon” which turned out to be a stereotypical mech you’d seen in any other book or movie. I stunned it and got in, proceeding to basically slaughter all of them. Killed the leader who’s name I can’t remember and I got off the planet contacting the Defence Force that the threat had been eliminated. Once I did that the Gatekeeper [SCP-4730-1] showed up, used a bright light and got me outta there.
Foundation Note: D-34788 later discussed how the book originally said on the back the main character was called “Jack Steel” not “Jane”, it seems since D-Class was female the gender was changed for SCP-4730-4’s story.
SCP-4730-5 Test Log A
Solo Test / Written by D-36622
Setting: Halfbroke Hotel
Main Character: James Brooke, some detective
Plot Synopsis: The book started of with a murder of one of the residents in Halfbrooke hotel. I was called in to help figure out who murdered the guy. It was basically some detective novel with a budget Sherlock Holmes. The place got snowed in and I was stuck trying to figure out who it was. After 2 more murders I still didn’t have a clue and the guy tried to kill me. I ██████ died! The entire thing was unfair.
Ending: N/A
Foundation Notes: This was the first instance of a death inside any instance of SCP-4730-2 to 34. Test B will be conducted with a smarter Subject than D-36622 to hopefully see the ending. Another point to note would be that SCP-4730-1 accordingly told D-36622 that the book was harder than the others. No difficulty setting or easier version of SCP-4730-5 has been found or given by SCP-4730 as he calls the book “his greatest challenge for the greatest minds”.
During a test on SCP-4730-3 at 12:33 on ██/██/20██, 9 minutes after entry into SCP-4730 SCP 4730-1 was seen holding the dead body of D-34001. Security pointed their guns at him, in which he responded telling security to put down their guns as he could explain the situations. SCP-4730-1 requested to talk to the leader of Site-██, Dr. ████ accepted and took SCP-4730-1 in for an interview. See below.
Dr. ████: Greetings SCP-4730-1
SCP-4730-1:Please, call me the gatekeeper.
Dr. ████:Gatekeeper, why were you holding that body what happened to D-34001. Why was he deceased?
- SCP-4730-1 looks saddened at the statement *
SCP-4730-1: I’m sorry Dr., I just wanted to make him happier. That’s all I wanted. I meant no harm to anyone here.
Dr. ████: Gatekeeper, I know it’s affected you but…we need to know what happened to him.
SCP-4730-1: He chose a horror book, I called it “A Howl in the Night”, on of my personal favourites. You’re all alone in the woods, in a car. The book has you trying to escape the wolf and get to the nearest town without dying. Simple plot really.
Dr.████: And what exactly happened, people who die in your books don’t die permanently right?
- SCP-4730-1 looks at the floor at pauses *
SCP-4730-1: He…he was corned, in the book, at a gas station. He was supposed to scare the werewolf off with a baseball bat in the back room, but he didn’t get it in time. He was scared in the corner and experienced…a heart attack.
Dr.████: In Our World too?
SCP-4730-1: Yes. I’m going to remove the book. I’ll shut down the library for tonight. Am I free to go back?
Dr.████: You are free to go, thank you for your time.
- SCP-4730-1 Nods and leaves the room. *
SCP-4730 was locked shut for the next 24 hours with the notes “the gatekeeper has made a grave mistake” on the front door. The sound of sobbing could be heard faintly from outside. Once the 24 hours ended SCP-4730 disappeared from its current site and wasn’t seen for another year until moving to it’s current location.
From now on SCP-4730-3 was removed from SCP-4730 and horror themed books are only used for testing purposes.
