Foundationfiles Stories

The Foundation has contained gods before. This one was never meant to be understood. When the SCP Foundation exhausts every scientific model, every memetic safeguard, and every containment protocol, they turn to something older. They turn to Lord Blackwood. Summoned as an external consultant, Blackwood is asked to accompany a classified research team investigating SCP-001-an entity buried beneath conflicting records, fractured myths, and deliberate misinformation. Known in suppressed texts as the Scarlet King, SCP-001 is not contained by walls or weapons, but by denial, ritual, and the careful destruction of truth. As the team pushes closer to clarity, Blackwood recognizes the pattern too late. Containment has become repetition. Research has become ritual. And the Foundation may have built the very kingdom this god requires. This is not a story about stopping the Scarlet King. It is about realizing what it costs to keep him quiet.
