Dopaenth

Luo Shu, an avid enthusiast of anomalous phenomena, found himself transported into a world where the anomalies were all too real—but his luck ran out when he was condemned as a death row inmate, forcibly conscripted as expendable labor.

From that moment on, the Anomalous Containment Facility gained a new D-Class personnel: one unnervingly adept at containment. And with him, the world began to change...

This is a brand-new timeline. These are real anomalies.

Here lies the original SCP-173, the blood-drenched bride SCP-231-7, the shadowy O5 Council, the relentless Alpha-1 ("Red Right Hand"), the insurgent Chaos Insurgency, the looming XK-Class End-of-the-World Scenario, the reality-anchoring Stabilization Anchors, and the enigmatic SCP-2000 ("Mechanicus Deus Ex Machina")...

SCP: Class-D Containment Specialist

Now that SCP-073 had become a Friend of the Anomalies, Luo Shu flipped to the latest entry in the Anomaly Catalog.

[Item #: SCP-073]

[Designation: Cain]

[Object Class: Euclid]

[Description: …]

[Special Containment Procedures: …]

[Anomalous Properties: Enemy of Life. As Adam's son, the first murderer, Cain is not merely a man—he is the primordial adversary of all living things. His "damage reflection" and "soil sterilization" are but surface manifestations. He is existence's antithesis.]

[Status: Uncontained]

[Interaction Log: Click to Play]

[X (Friend of the Anomalies activations remaining today: 1)]

This was Cain's true nature?

The gentle scholar was a demon in angel's guise?

And SCP-076 ("Able"), the Foundation's infamous "Dragon-Proud Heaven," was actually… a victim of fratricide?

Was this the truth behind the biblical tale?

He wanted to ask Cain directly—but didn't dare.

Foundation files noted Cain's visceral rejection of SCP-076's records. Whatever had happened, it was a wound never to be reopened.

Prying might turn an ally into an enemy.

Better to test the Friend of the Anomalies perk instead.

With a thought, the final line updated:

[O: x2 (Activations remaining: 0)]

Cain, ever the altruist, urged him onward. "We must hurry! Lives are at stake below!"

Luo Shu swallowed hard. "Right. Let's go."

With Cain as his bodyguard, they descended to Sublevel -4.

"Leave containment to me," Cain said warmly. "I'll ensure your safety."

Luo Shu almost teared up.

This is the VIP treatment.

He abandoned the sparking UMP45-Roomba without a second glance.

The poor drone's red-dot sight flickered mournfully:

"You gave me life… only to discard me?"

Sublevel -3: Low-Threat Zone

Site-17's layout differed from Site-19's. Here, sublevels were divided by threat level, not object class.

Sublevel -3 housed low-risk humanoids.

With Cain present, anomalies here behaved.

The moment they stepped off the stairs, Cain roared:

"Cain of Sumer stands here! Who dares move?!"

Luo Shu grinned. I could get used to this.

Sublevel -4: The Siren's Call

The next floor greeted them with a low, resonant hum—like a whale's song.

The sound drilled into his skull, unraveling his thoughts. His vision swam—

Cain yanked him back to Sublevel -3.

"SCP-327," Cain growled. "Wait here. I'll handle it."

Luo Shu recognized the designation:

SCP-327 ("The Mermaid")

A psychoacoustic predator. Its song induced madness, algal blooms, and—if uninterrupted—death.

Normally confined to a soundproofed saline tank, the mermaid had escaped. Its lid hung open, its human-faced silhouette visible atop the tank.

Luo Shu couldn't let Cain confront it alone. SCP-327's fragile biology might not survive "Enemy of Life."

"I'm coming," he said, flipping to Page 16—Mind-Shielding Alloy.

With mental defenses active, the song became background noise.

The Mermaid's Lair

Sublevel -4's corridors were a madhouse.

Security personnel staggered aimlessly, giggling or shrieking.

At the chamber's center stood the breached containment tank.

SCP-327 lounged on its edge, humming its lethal lullaby.

Cain stepped forward, but Luo Shu stopped him.

"Let me try something first."

He activated Persuasion.

"Hey there. You're… uh, off-key."

The mermaid's head snapped toward him.

Negotiations had begun.

Cain The Bodyguard
