SCP - The Game Console

I had 25 Divine Energy remaining to find players.

Before I begin my search I set the time dilation.

Now inside my dimension, the players could play for 10 hours and have only 5 hours pass in the real world.

While in the dimension time moved twice as fast as the 'real world,'

I call it the real world but my dimension is also technically real as well...

It's just that I am more used to using the term 'Real World' when thinking about my dimension...

I used [Soul Search] to find 25 Living Human Souls and soon I got a response.

[25 Living Human Souls have been found]

I immediately felt myself connect to 25 different people and I could see everything they saw in their dreams...

To my surprise, one of the souls from [Soul Search] turned out to be special!

It was someone not in the real world but in a different dimension altogether!

I looked into his recent memories and immediately knew where he was...

He was in SCP-3008 an entire dimension that resembles Ikea.

I don't know how it exactly works but sometimes when you walk into an Ikea through the front entrance you would find yourself in that Ikea Dimension.

Some might think that it would be easy to survive in that Ikea dimension, but every night slightly humanoid creatures wearing the Ikea uniform will attack anyone nearby like zombies...

In the day the monsters are docile but at night they become murderous monsters who seek to 'remove people from the store' with deadly force...

And not to mention once you are stuck there your chances of finding an escape are almost none...

I felt bad for the people there...

Besides that special soul, there was someone else's soul that caught my attention.

It was a member of the Chaos Insurgency, the SCP Foundations' main rival...

Unlike the SCP Foundation whose main goal is to secure, contain, and protect SCPs and keep them hidden from the world, the Chaos Insurgency wants to militarize SCPs and conquer the world.

While some people believe that the C.I. is better than the SCP Foundation at least the SCP Foundation is keeping people away from these dangerous and sometimes otherworldly SCP.

But the Chaos Insurgency is the opposite, they don't care who's in their way and they will kill anyone in their way without question...

And to be honest I don't trust anyone in this world filled with SCPs...

Perhaps I can make my own organization that could protect me?

No...

For now, I will stay hidden and gather some Divine Energy.

...

10 hours soon passed in my Dimension while only 5 Hours passed in the real world.

I quickly found out how much Divine Energy I got from them being in my dimension and was quickly disappointed...

[Divine Energy Per Hour In Dimension: 0.25 DE]

This means if I want to earn a single DE point then I would have to have 100 players...

I currently only have 2.5 DE points and it would take a long time until I can create another zone for the players...

So for now every time I get 25 DE I will invite another 25 players to my world and continue doing so until I gain a decent amount of DE per hour in the dimension.

...

Meanwhile, in the bunkroom in C.I. where Michael was sleeping, he woke up with his other bunkmates and teammates.

He looked around in confusion and murmured "Was it a dream? Or was it real?"
