[[containment procedures]]
SCP-XXXX is to be stored in a locked, opaque container within a standard anomalous object locker at Site-██.
Only personnel between the ages of ██ and ██ may be authorized for testing, with approval from two Level-3 researchers.
Personnel outside the authorized age range may transport SCP-XXXX, as such individuals do not perceive any visible content.
Digital copying, transcription, or translation attempts are prohibited.
In the event of unauthorized reading, affected individuals are to be monitored continuously.
Physical restraint and mild sedatives are permitted if subjects become a danger to themselves or others.

[[description]]
SCP-XXXX is a worn hardcover book titled *The Story of Toroko*.
The book contains exactly 811 pages; this count remains constant regardless of damage, page removal, or duplication attempts.
SCP-XXXX exhibits several anomalous effects related to perception, compulsion, and cognition:
===Selective Visibility===
Individuals significantly younger or older than the apparent age of the story’s primary protagonist perceive all pages of SCP-XXXX as completely blank.
No text, symbols, or illustrations are visible through optical enhancement, photography, or digital scanning.
Despite this, individuals within the effective age range consistently report fully written narrative content on all pages.
===Compulsive Reading Effect===
When an individual within approximately ±2 years of the protagonist’s perceived age reads the first page of SCP-XXXX, they immediately develop an overwhelming compulsion to continue reading until the final page is reached.
Affected subjects will:
* Exhibit agitation, anger, or distress if interrupted.
* Prioritize reading over sleep, food, or social interaction.
* Retain the ability to verbally communicate with nearby individuals.
* Be incapable of describing, quoting, summarizing, or explaining the story’s content.
Common responses include phrases such as “You wouldn’t understand,” or “You have to read it yourself.”
===Linguistic Adaptation===
SCP-XXXX automatically appears written in the reader’s native or most fluent language, regardless of prior exposure.
===Post-Completion Effect===
Upon reaching the final page, the compulsion ceases immediately.
Subjects consistently describe the story as “ordinary,” “unremarkable,” or “forgettable,” yet are unable to recall specific plot details, character names, or events. Only vague emotional impressions remain.
===Narrative Characteristics===
Reports from affected individuals agree that the narrative itself contains no extraordinary events and resembles a typical fictional coming-of-age story.
The protagonist’s perceived age appears consistent across subjects but cannot be confirmed precisely due to readers’ inability to relay exact details.

[[addenda]]
===Summary of Anomalous Traits===
* Pages appear blank to most observers.
* Readers within a narrow age range perceive full content.
* Immediate and irresistible urge to finish the book.
* Inability to communicate the story’s contents.
* Automatic translation to the reader’s language.
* Memory degradation after completion.

Hello, I think there’s been a misunderstanding. I only used AI tools such as Grammarly for grammatical corrections and QuillBot for sentence rephrasing. You may be mixing this up with LLMs (Large Language Models), which are generative AI, and that’s not what I used.
