《I'm In Charge of SCP》Chapter 14 “Destroyed 6th Exploration Log” Part 2
Advertisement
Dr. ██: Can I ask, what exactly do you do in your world?
Advisor ██: Didn't I tell you? You can call me the Great Magician or the Wizard. Do you know David Copperfield? I was in the bathroom with him at the same party.
-----
They've reached the 500th floor, SCP-087-1, once again appeared in front of them, this time at a distance of three meters, probably afraid that Zhang Jue would pounce on it again and beat it up.
Advisor ██ (cold face): Don't you remember, what are you looking at?
SCP-087-1 blinked, seemed to be thinking, and disappeared into the darkness three seconds later.
Dr. ██ (calmly watching the scene): It reminds me of something.
Advisor ██: Oh?
Dr. ██: Gods and Demons are afraid of evil people.
Advisor ██: Thank you for the compliment.
Dr. ██: ...
SCP-087-1 never appeared again. The two of them arrived at the bottom of the stairwell, the 610th floor. The wooden door had been destroyed, bits and pieces of the puppets were scattered around, and the walls were full of bullet holes.
Advisor ██ (looking left and right): Wow, the fight was really intense.
Dr. ██: You're going in? You're not afraid of what's inside?
Advisor ██: I told you, as long as you're not afraid, they're not scary.
The sound of distress came from inside the door and gradually became more apparent. The two walked through the wooden door, and the faceless puppets on either side of the corridor had returned to their original 'hanging' state. When they approached, the puppets began to move. Dr. ██ grabbed the arm of the Advisor ██ with a slightly nervous look.
Dr. ██ (cheeks slightly red): Sorry.
Advisor ██: It's okay. It's my fault for being too charming. Wow, are you carrying two buns in your arms, taking up so much space-
[DATA EXPUNGED].
Advisor ██ (covering the left side of his face): Look, they are not moving now, right?

Dr. ██ (glare): You can't just distract me in a different way!
The corridor was long but not in a straight line. The two of them walked for an hour and reached the end, a huge round stone room. The stone room was about 30 meters in diameter and did not use light-absorbing materials. The lighting equipment used by the two of them had illuminated the whole room.
The walls around it are painted with various symbols of unknown meaning, which should be some kind of incantation. There is a huge circular altar in the center of the stone room, made of black stone, and countless faceless puppets are hanging over the altar. In the center of the altar was a basket carved in stone, which was empty at that time.
Dr. ██: It seems your guess is correct. This looked like some kind of a sacrificial ritual.
Advisor ██ (looking left and right): Ah, I just don't know what it's for. I don't think it's a ritual for taking a dump.
Dr. ██ (helpless): Can't you think of a better scenario?
[DATA EXPUNGED]
Dr. ██: There is a mural here.
Advisor ██ (looking up and down): Wow, quite a story.
The mural has three images. In the first image, a four-legged, eight-handed sphinx is slaughtering a human village with the bodies of villagers at his feet. In the second image, countless villagers kneel in front of a prototype altar, cut their faces off with knives, and bow down reverently. In the third image, an egg appears in a stone basket on the altar, and a baby hatched.
Dr. ██ (full of doubt): Is this to say that these humans used some kind of mysterious ritual to invoke the gods to defeat the demons?
Advisor ██: How to interpret something like this mural is really up to your imagination. Based on these three paintings alone, I can also say this: The monster defeated everyone and forced them to cut off their faces as a sacrifice and hatched his children.

Dr. ██: ...
Since they've entered the stone room, the cry for help disappeared, and the two looked around without finding the source of the sound. There were walls all around and nothing else but the mural. Searching in vain, the two came to the heel of the stone basket in the center of the altar. The Advisor reached out, trying to touch the stone basket, and was stopped by Dr. ██
Dr. ██: You better not to touch it.
Advisor ██ (smiling slightly): You're worried about me?
Dr. ██ (bowing her head): You are a Foundation Special Advisor. I should be worried about your safety.
Advisor ██: I see. Since I'm the Foundation Advisor, am I the strongest here?
Dr. ██: Don't you dare... I have a bad feeling about this.
Advisor ██ (patted her hand and smiled): Don't worry, Did you forget who am I? Ghosts and Gods are afraid of me - if something really happens later, just run for your own sake, don't worry about me, remember, as long as you are not afraid, they are not scary.
Dr. ██stared at the Advisor's eyes for five seconds before releasing her hand and giving up on stopping him. The Advisor's gaze became dull. Dr. ██ looked tense and tried to push the Advisor's body, but the Advisor and the stone basket seemed to create some kind of connection and did not move at all.
The Puppets around him began to move.
Dr. ██ (panic): ██! Wake up, Hey, wake up!
The Advisor's five senses seem to be closed off and didn't respond to the call of Dr. ██. Already, some of the puppets were detached from the rope and gathered towards the direction of the Dr. ██.
Dr. ██ panicked and began to back away. She took out a Colt Pistol from her backpack and shielded herself in front of the Advisor. The puppets surrounded her and Advisor ██ and did not immediately start attacking.
Dr. ██ felt her heart's beat rising exponentially faster, her blood pressure rose, and the sweat of her body trembled. She slowly twisted her head. SCP-087-1, the face with no pupils, was behind her, less than 30 cm away from her face.
Dr. ██: Ahh!! (screaming)
SCP-087-1 was close.
Dr. ██ (breathing heavily): Calm down... don't be afraid...
SCP-087-1 suddenly rushed towards the immobilized Advisor. Dr. ██ moved to the front to protect the Advisor, and because of that, The Advisor was not hurt.
SCP-087-1 rushed towards the Advisor again, and its attack was once again blocked by Dr. ██ SCP-087-1 stared at Dr. ██, changed its target, and started charging towards her.
Dr. ██closed her eyes. A strong gust of wind, and then Dr. ██ opened her eyes.
Advisor ██ (grabs SCP-087-1, drops it to the ground, and stomps its face really hard): Who! Told! You! To! Look! At! Me! Huh?!
SCP-087-1's face was completely disfigured and pulverized.
[DATA EXPUNGED].
Advisor ██ (slightly apologetic): Sorry I'm late, let's go.
Dr. ██ (wiping the corners of her eyes, showing a smile): Thank Goodness.
The Advisor looked around, and the faceless puppets backed off. Advisor ██ spat on SCP-087-1, which he had stepped on, and walked down the altar with Dr. ██
[DATA EXPUNGED]
Addendum:
Ten hours later, Advisor ██and Dr. ██ walked out of SCP-087. During that time, Dr. ██ asked Advisor ██ what he had experienced during that moment.
Advisor ██: Ah, you may not believe me when I say that I had a wet dream, really - even if you beat me.

Rupegia
"You may now kiss the bride." But no kiss ever came. I'm ripped from my wedding and thrown into a medieval fantasy world with game-like elements. It may seem like a game, but that doesn't matter to me, because this is my reality. The pain, the hunger, the cold, the fear, it's all real to me. Alone, without knowing why I'm here, in a world where I know nothing and nobody, I decide to buy a Blood Slave to have someone I can trust. She brings me comfort and so much more. She helps me raise my head high again and bravely move forward. Together, we'll grow stronger. Together, we're unbreakable. But she won't be the only one by my side. We need more than just each other, for I know that my purpose in this world can't be accomplished with only her help. Monsters and dungeons plague the land, forcing civilization to protect themselves from the hordes with tall walls and fierce determination. Killing monsters is a daily need, but they aren't the only enemy here. I have a powerful "Gift" that allows me to change my "skill points" at will, but if others were to know about it, there would be many that would try to use me by any means possible. Step by step, moment by moment, day by day, we keep moving forward, always aiming to improve our strength. One day, we'll meet our Fate, and we'll be ready for it. Swords held high, shields tightly strapped to our arms, wings spread apart, spells at the tip of our tongues, minds focused like blades, and our hearts hardened like steel. We'll take on whatever comes our way! --------------------------------------------- New chapters Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 8PM US East. At least 3k words each. Additional Tags: Psychological, Romance, Magic, Male Lead, Portal Fantasy/Isekai/Transmigration, Polygamy, Slaves Content Warning: gore, profanity, sexual content (most of it has been censored) (male/female, female/female, and human/non-human(not for the faint of heart)), traumatizing content What to expect: Slow story focused on the day-to-day life of a transmigrated man rather than on the plot. The plot exists but it very slowly becomes relevant. Also, slow character progress. It's a long journey, so don't expect a hero to grow in just a few chapters. Detailed environments and extensive world-building. Realistic and tactical combat instead of flashy. Protagonist with a cheat but far from overpowered. Lots of descriptive sex scenes (though most got censored here). It's treated as just another part of life instead of merely fan-service. A harem where the members actually enjoy living with each other. Occasional weird wording and grammar, English isn't my first language.

Yin-Yang
Mages in North America seem to have it all – typically from well-off families, and able to manipulate their environment in ways most of the world would never believe. They don’t even have to bother with the mundane details of life like housework, thanks to their sensitives, who also make a useful source for extra magical energy. After all, sensitives have no use for it themselves, and if mages weren’t meant to make use of it, then the sensitives would obviously have some way to prevent that. That a mage can transform a sensitive physically, with no restrictions beyond overall mass and basic biological viability, whereas magic tends not to work directly on any other living thing, is only further proof. And look at the way they live on their own, barely a step above animals. It’s better for them to belong to a mage. Sensitives in North America live on the edge of society and survival – typically so paranoid they avoid hospitals and anything else that could lead to being tracked, many of them with little or no education and no legal identity or existence. Mages exist, and mages want sensitives for some reason, but no one ever comes back to explain what that reason is. Waiting every day for the hunters to notice them doesn’t lead to much motivation or hope for the future. And once they’re captured, they’re the property of someone with a terrifying amount of power over them. Anything is better than capture. Mages are born to be the masters, and sensitives are born victims. Or are they? Jax’s life is turned upside-down when he’s caught by the hunters and sold to a mage. Andreas is still mourning for his previous sensitive, though, unconsciously creating a difficult standard for Jax to live up to, all the more so while still struggling to come to terms with this new reality as Andreas’ sensitive. A runaway sensitive isn’t what Van expects at the mental health centre. Is this a hunter trap, set for him and the rest of the Donovan family by the hunters? The hunters would, after all, love to see them cross the line openly and finally do something they can be charged with. Either way, Miranda’s genuinely in trouble, and he can’t just abandon her to it. Snatching a sensitive out from under the hunters and hiding her is odd behaviour for a mage – but then, Catherine is an odd mage, living in disgrace in the old servants’ quarters of her grandmother’s house, responsible for cooking and housework. Lila owes Catherine her freedom; is there a way to help Catherine achieve her own, and at what price? Tension is building between traditionally-minded mages and those advocating change, and something has to break. *** Yin-Yang includes a small amount of profanity and no graphic sex or on-screen physical violence. However, sex and gender roles and relationships within the mage/sensitive subculture are non-traditional in mainstream North American terms. The key criterion in a primary relationship is not relative sex or gender, but the pairing of mage and sensitive; given the transformation of sensitives by their mages, physical sex is non-absolute for a sensitive, and gender identity can vary as in anyone else. *** *** The way mages treat sensitives is extremely varied and, in some cases is outright abusive. The struggle against that is pretty much the point of the book. It is NOT grimdark or misery-porn! However, if you will be triggered by this, please, don't read Yin-Yang! *** Complete stand-alone novel, 153K words! Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.

Jeffrey and the navy take on the new menace, but new tools, including faster-than-light travel become available.
