Description: SCP-1230 is an unlabeled, green hardcover book with no apparent exceptional
qualities.
When SCP-1230 is opened, it displays the phrase "A hero is born" on the first page viewed,
SCP-1230
while all other pages will be blank, "resetting" once the book is closed.
This has no obvious effects at first, but upon falling asleep, the reader will dream
of a fantasy world where they are the protagonist of a troubled land.
Dreamers are completely aware and all senses work just as well as when awake.
Results vary depending on the imagination of the reader and are mostly attuned to fantasies
of adventure that the reader would enjoy.
In the mind of the reader, these dreams have been documented to last anywhere from 45 seconds
(see Experiment 1230-3) to 200 years (see Experiment 1230-5) but in reality, the reader
will usually never be asleep longer than they would normally.
Upon awaking, the reader is able to remember every aspect of their dream in detail.
In SCP-1230 induced dreams, there is always a character called the "Book Keeper" (SCP-1230-1)
appearing as a bearded man in a green cloak who claims to be the personification of SCP-1230
himself.
SCP-1230-1 has been reported to be very amicable and helpful towards dreamers.
It has stated that it enjoys creating these "fantasy-scapes" and always tries to shape
them in such a way that the dreamer garners the most entertainment out of it.
It has expressed sorrow when the dream comes to an end and asks the dreamer to "please
visit again soon".
Discovery: In a small bookstore located [DATA EXPUNGED] the shopkeeper had no recollection
of owning the unlabeled book but attempted to sell a story to local newspapers about
a "magical dream book".
The Foundation was able to dispel the story as a hoax and SCP-1230 was confiscated.
Experiment-1230-01: Dr. F███████, in an attempt to test its effective range,
opened SCP-1230 and boarded a flight to his hometown of [REDACTED] where he spent the
night at a hotel.
Upon his return, Dr. F███████ reported that SCP-1230-1 appeared in his dreams
and explained that once you read 'A hero is born', the dream is immediately implanted
in your subconscious, after which SCP-1230-1 is able to manipulate it remotely.
Dr. F███████ expressed his appreciation for SCP-1230-1's cooperation.
Experiment-1230-02: A camera was set-up above SCP-1230 and, using a mechanical "arm",
the book was opened.
All pages were revealed to be blank.
It seems SCP-1230 is only effective when opened by beings that are able to have dreams.
SCP-1230-1 explained to a subsequent dreamer that it is actually only able to affect beings
"with an imagination" and that most creatures such as animals would not be affected.
Experiment-1230-03: One (1) D-class was instructed to open the book and (after much reassurance
that his experiences would only be dreams) ordered to immediately find a way to kill
himself in the dream.
The subject was asleep for merely 45 seconds before he awoke with a start in a nervous
sweat.
He reported being at the summit of a volcano called "The Ashen Spire" on a quest for
"Caladius, the Blessed Blade".
When asked how the subject knew the names, he stated, "It's like I knew them all
along".
He apparently leapt into the volcano and "felt an intense heat" before awakening.
D-class requested permission to "give it another go".
Request was denied.
Experiment-1230-04: One (1) D-class was instructed to open the book and attempt to non-fatally
injure himself in his dream.
After 6 hours, the D-class awoke and reported that he was able to feel a "numbed" sort
of pain where it was never so intense as to be unbearable.
He also reported meeting an elderly, cloaked man who asked him why he was harming himself,
but thanked him for not immediately killing himself "like that other rude fellow".
Experiment-1230-05: Prof. B████ filed a request for access to SCP-1230 and was quickly
permitted, given his Level 4 clearance.
Staff members recalled that Prof. B████ was almost "visibly shaking with excitement"
and some reported that Prof. B████ was an avid fan of tabletop and role-playing
games.
Surveillance shows that Prof. B████ opened the book, read the phrase, sat down
beside the desk and promptly fell asleep.
Staff members were alarmed when Prof. B████ did not awake after 15 hours and alerted security.
The on-site medical staff were able to confirm that Prof. B████ was still alive and
in good health.
After approximately 24 hours since falling asleep, Prof. B████ began to move,
reported to have "slowly raised his head and looked around the room, appearing deeply confused".
Security entered the room to ensure he was alright, to which he replied, "Where am
I?".
He was sent to Medical where staff explained where and who he was.
Several minutes later, Prof. B████ appeared to have regained his memory and excused
himself to the restroom.
When 15 minutes passed and Prof. B████ had not exited, a nurse entered to find he
had hung himself with his belt.
A scribbled message on the wall revealed his last words: "I can't go back to this".
Dr. F███████ went to ask SCP-1230-1 what had happened, but upon opening SCP-1230,
all its pages were soaking wet with the same message on every page: "I'm so sorry.
I never intended for this to happen.
I just wanted to make people happy."
repeated over and over.
SCP-1230 remained in this state for three weeks and its desk had to be wiped dry biweekly.
In an attempt to communicate, Dr. F███████ placed a sticky note inside SCP-1230 with
the statement, "I'd like to talk to you, if that's alright".
The next morning, Dr. F███████ filed a report about a dream he had concerning
SCP-1230-1.
- Report-1230-14 Upon falling asleep last night, I dreamt I
was in a dark void.
There was a streetlamp and underneath it was SCP-1230-1 sitting in a puddle.
His cloak was visibly soaked and he was sobbing profusely.
I remember our conversation:
Dr. F███████: Book Keeper?
Is that you?
My god, man, where are we?
Book Keeper: (between sobs) I… couldn't think of anything to make for a landscape.
Dr. F███████: Book Keeper… what happened that day?
Why did Prof. B████ kill himself?
We have to know your side of the story.
Book Keeper: (wiping his eyes) He had such an active imagination!
I was able to create a vast and beautiful universe for him and it was obvious that he
had wanted a life like that for so long.
He conquered foul beasts and rescued princesses…
He built kingdoms and even raised a family… but he never wanted to leave.
He delved so far into his fantasy world that I soon realized he preferred his dream over
the real world.
I reminded him that this was all merely an illusion, but he wouldn't listen to me.
He stated that if he was ever forced to leave, he would immediately end his life.
I tried to keep him happy for as long as I could…
Dr. F███████: …Book Keeper… how long was the dream from his point of view?
Book Keeper: …200 years, Doctor.
I did my best but I could only hold onto him for 200 years.
As sweet as dreams may be, eventually we all have to wake up.
I awoke almost immediately after.
I can't believe he spent 200 years in his dream.
I'm astounded by his foolishness but it's such a shame to have lost a brilliant mind
to his own delusions.
Shortly after the report was filed, surveillance showed Dr. F███████ slipping
another small paper into SCP-1230.
A few days later, SCP-1230 began showing its usual "A hero is born" greeting once again.
When asked what the note said, Dr. F███████ declined to give detailed comment, simply
stating that he "just gave it some friendly advice".
Addendum-1230-A: During initial testing, SCP-1230-1 asked dreaming personnel if it could be relocated
to an area with many books (preferably fiction) so that it could think of even better ways
to construct its "fantasy-scapes".
After numerous experiments were performed to ensure that SCP-1230 posed no threat, the
request was accepted and SCP-1230 has been relocated to Site-12's library.

Independent counsel pursues extradition despite Chung's promise to return to Korea if released - Duration: 2:07.
Chung Yoo-ra, who is currently under arrest in Denmark, says she will return to Korea
if released.
However, Korean authorities are continuing to process their extradition request and her
passport will voided within a week.
Kwon Jang-ho has the details.
Chung Yoo-ra has appealed to the Danish and Korean authorities that she would be willing
to return to Korea of her own volition if she were released and guaranteed a situation
in which she could remain with her 19-month-old son.
Chung is the daughter of Choi Soon-sil, President Park Geun-hye's longtime confidante who is
accused of having used her relationship with Park for her own personal gains.
An independent counsel in Korea is looking to question Chung on her and her mother's
role in the allegation that she gained unmerited entry into one of the nation's top universities
and preferential treatment in grading.
The two are also under investigation in connection with funds given by Korean companies to support
Chung's aspiring dressage career.
Despite Chung's plea for her release, the independent counsel in Korea is continuing
to work with the Danish authorities to force her extradition.
Korean authorities have already succeeded in persuading a court in Denmark to extend
Chung's detention from three days to four weeks while she is investigated by local prosecutors.
Korean authorities have also issued the order to invalidate her passport and it's expected
to take effect next week.
Meanwhile, the independent counsel is holding a university professor who admitted to giving
Chung special treatment while she was in school.
Although he'd previously pleaded his innocence, Professor Ryu Cheol-gyoon changed his position
under questioning, but added that he was only under orders from the former dean of the university.
As the investigation gains speed, the independent counsel is now considering whether to force
Choi Soon-sil to submit to questioning.
Choi, who is currently being held in a detention center on the outskirts of Seoul, has so far
failed to respond to any summons, citing ill health.
Kwon Jang-Ho, Arirang News.

Acting President says bird flu outbreak is almost under control - Duration: 1:08.
The worst bird flu outbreak to ever hit Korea,... finally seems to be easing.
Acting president and Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn says that,.. thanks to systemized
measures that include preemptive culling,... the number of suspected cases has dropped
to just one or two a day,... meaning the spread is now almost under full control.
This comes a week after Hwang ordered a seven-day all-out operation to contain the outbreak.
But, Hwang said as the fight is not over yet,... enforced measures need to continue to prevent
it coming back.
Due to the culling of millions of chickens and other poultry,... egg prices in Korea
jumped to about two to three times of those in the U.S. and Spain.
Korea's agriculture ministry says the wholesale price for one egg in Korea was about 21 cents
as of December 26th.
That's around one-and-a-half to nearly three times more expensive than eggs in the U.S.
and other western countries.
The ministry added that the egg shortage is expected to continue until the end of the
year.

Streething x Red Wing Shoes: Custom Motorcycles with Faizal Reza - Duration: 1:55.
My name is Faizal Reza
I Run this shop called Gimme Shelter Service Chop
I am intrigued by the original Hell's Angels from the 60s,
so the bikes that I design are meant to look like they're from that era.
So what they did was take the original bike,
strip it down and the unnecessary things get thrown out from the bike
and yeah, it's a simple bike.
I like simplicity and minimalism.
Before I opened this shop, I was working in advertising full time,
so I worked on bikes at night.
Originally I only worked on my own bike,
but then people started seeing it around,
and a friend of mine said
"Hey Faizal, I just bought a Harley, can you customise it
and make it similar to your bike?"
I said "I can do it similar but not exactly the same,
because every bike has it's own unique style
and every owner should have their own personal distinct look,
because the point of having a custom bike is to get away from the standard where every bike looks the same".
So yeah, he was fine with that, as long as I made it as if it was my own bike,
and I think that's the coolest thing to happen you know,
for someone to ask me to design their bike as if it were my own bike.
I ride to work daily, I don't like to drive,
so i'm on motorcycles day-in-day-out
and I guess it just makes sense for me to wear a pair boots and jeans when riding
as opposed to a pair of slipper and shorts.
You wouldn't want to fall off your bike in that kind of attire.
