'>Received our mission and arrived in Giza during the summer of 1995.
>Tasked with “excavation” and “transport” by the local government.
>Told to recover whatever we possibly could from the tunnels beneath the sphinx by the U.S Government.
>Local officials feigned ignorance at the possibility of tunnels or valuables underneath the sphinx.
>Have an assistant with me assigned to the task. Let’s call him Josh.
>Josh is complaining about a lack of information.
>Is seriously worried about being sent in blind and the dangers that we might encounter.
>I tell him to calm down.
>Tell him the mission will go smoothly and that there’s probably some gems or treasure down there at most.
>Arrive at the monolith.
>Can see the pyramids of Giza just beyond it, partially covered up by a thick layer of fog and dust.
>I pull out a cigarette before we head in and ask Josh if he’s shitting himself yet.
>Tells me he has a bad feeling about the mission, but I dismiss it once again.
>Thinks that the mission can’t be as straightforward as it seems otherwise why hire us,
>Just shrug at him.
>Money is money. I don’t care what we have to do it’s all the same to me.
>Senior seismologist runs over to us and tells us that we’re finally good to go.
>They’ve managed to break through.
>Josh asks him if they managed to take a look down below.
>Tell us he caught a small glimpse and that the chamber seemed empty.
>Empty?
>Ask him what he means.
>Tells me they didn’t see anything down there at all, no urns, no gold, no valuables.
>Just four walls.
>wtf
>At least the job will be easy.
>Ask him if he thinks someone beat us to it and took everything before we could get there.
>Tells me it’s unlikely but stranger things have happened.
>I just nod and say that we better get it over with.
>We suited up in full hazmat suits just in case and made our way over to the base of the Sphinx.
>Were also equipped with an industrial flashlight each.';

'>I approached the gaping drill hole near the statue’s right paw.
>I got down into a sitting position and then began climbing down using a rope ladder.
>Josh is close behind me.
>Immediately hit by a wall of darkness.
>My feet hit the ground and I turn on my flashlight as fast as possible.
>It was exactly as he said.
>Fucking empty.
>I was just standing in the middle of this vast cavern like space with nothing of value at all to be seen.
>The place was quite large, and the hollowness of the subterranean space made amplified every movement and made them seem incredibly strange and eerie.
>There was a steady stream of sand trickling from a small crack in the ceiling.
>I decided it was best not to linger and finish our job as quickly as possible.
>I told Josh to move his ass and get into gear.
>As we explored further in, we noticed a lot of iconography on the walls that was worn heavily by the passage of time.
>The usual Egyptian stuff: depictions of Ra, the eye of Horus, even portrayals of Osiris and Thoth were all across the walls.
>It looked like they were telling a story of some kind.
>Anubis emblazoned across the wall judging the souls of the dead with displays of all sorts of monsters along the width of it too.
>Josh starts to speak up to get my attention.
>Tells me to come look.
>Josh is just standing there with his flashlight raised towards a wall at the far end of the chamber.
>On the wall there was another icon, a god I had never seen before in my life.
>Below it, was the lid of a sarcophagus.
>It was standing upright against the wall and looked to be embedded within the sandstone itself.
>Perhaps this place was a tomb.
>Decided to go over and check out the find.
>Wasn’t particularly worried about anything.
>It was likely empty anyway and I was just checking to be sure.
>Started to notice more details once I got closer to it.
>The design of the coffin was not like a typical Egyptian one that you’d see in a history book at all.';

'>The design of the coffin was human in the face, but it had feline shaped paws folded over its body.
>The design really irked me for some reason, and I could not figure out why at all.
>It seemed to be somewhat similar to the iconography that it was placed underneath, but I couldn’t say for sure whether they were the same.
>If it was a coincidence, it was definitely a strange one.
>I placed my gloved hand over the lid and leaned in closer to inspect the details.
>The wall had moulded itself around the coffin. It was fit around it like a cast.
>Josh speaks up again.
>He asks me what I’m doing.
>I replied back sarcastically, and he told me to be careful and that he was worried.
>I started telling him to go home if he was going to be such a coward.
>Just as I finished my sentence, I felt a surge of pain shooting through my head.
>I almost bit my tongue it hurt so bad.
>it felt as if someone had driven a dagger deep into my brain and just kept pushing it and pushing it.
>The pain just kept amplifying until it was overwhelming.
>I stepped back, fully consumed by the pain that was shooting throughout my body.
>I started clawing at my hazmat suit in vain, hoping that tearing it off might relieve some of the pain.
>I couldn’t escape it no matter what I did.
>I wish I’d died.
>That is how unbearable the pain was.
>I lost my balance completely and hit the ground, hard.
>I could hear the slow motion vibrations on the ground as I assume Josh rushed over to me.
>All I could do was squirm on the ground and hope for it to go away.
>The last thing I saw was the outline of Josh as my vision started to fade to black.
>He tried to reach out to me, but I couldn’t respond no matter how hard I tried.
>He picked up my radio and was frantically trying to contact someone.
>I woke up. Kind of.
>I woke up to pure blackness.
>Like, I felt conscious and awake, but I could only see pure black.
>Time seemed to shift for me once I woke up.';

'>I couldn’t tell how much time had passed or what was going on.
>All I had was an infinite blackness.
>It was barren and lifeless with no sounds at all.
>It was maddening.
>The seconds just seemed to go on forever as my vision drifted in and out of focus until I finally saw my saving grace.
>I could see a light in the distance.
>It wasn’t just one light.
>There was a multitude of them.
>They seemed to be as bright as stars in the night sky, except they were incredibly close to me.
>I didn’t realise it until that moment when I noticed their gleam reflecting back off of it.
>I was suddenly standing in water.
>A massive expanse of knee deep water seemingly out of nowhere.
>I looked down back at myself again just to confirm that I was really there and actually real.
>I needed to know whether I was hallucinating or not.
>I was also completely fucking nude for no reason.
>There were waves of warm water hitting my thighs and my entire body relentlessly.
>My moment of respite only lasted for a moment before I was thrown back into action once again.
>It was a voice.
>A voice, here with me, in whatever this place was.
>It wasn’t Josh.
>It was a stranger. No one from the site or the medical team.
>He was old, incredibly old.
>His face was covered with an array of scars and wrinkles that combined together.
>He was the same height as me, maybe even slightly taller.
>It was hard to tell at the time due to the haziness of my mind and the deception of the water.
>His body was incredibly built.
>He had the body of an athlete in his prime and showed no wear and tear at all.
>He was wearing some strange clothes, a tunic I think it looked like. Pure white.
>The most striking thing about his appearance, though, was the wolf pelt that hung around his neck that he wore like a scarf.
>The animal’s skull sat atop of his shoulder like he was fucking Hercules and had just slain the beast himself.';

'>I finally managed to stutter out some words and ask him who the fuck he was and what he was doing in a cordoned off dig site.
>There was absolutely no way he should have been able to get down here with all these workers.
>Unless he’d been down here before we got here…
>The old man just sighed and stared deep into my soul.
>Every move he made had me on edge.
>He told me that I had invaded his temple, ransacked it and made a mockery of him by not knowing his name.
>I just stood there speechless. It was like I was getting scolded by my mom and dad.
>For some reason, I felt like I should apologise even though I had no idea what I had done wrong.
>He cut me off before I could speak though.
>He told me his name, but I didn’t really know how to pronounce it.
>I think he said something like “Wepwawet”, but I’ve never heard of that before.
>He told me his brother was the famous one.
>I asked him where I was, but he just asked me where I thought I was.
> I only had a vague idea that I hoped was wrong.
>I asked him if I was dead.
>He told me no.
>He told me that the afterlife was only for the deserving.
>He brought his hands out from behind his back and made a twirling motion with his finger that forced me to turn around against my will.
>He told me to watch carefully and study what he was going to show me.
>He told me it was my doing.
>I could only watch in horror as I saw something towering in the distance. A titanic sized figure.
>He was showing me a creature of impossible stature, probably the size of a city.>It was so large that my brain could not comprehend it properly.
>Its sheer size just made my brain hurt.
>There were bronze chains cutting into the creature’s hide and metal rods too.
>Its paws were nailed to a platform and stopping it from moving.
>Its fur was like a forest along its body.
>I can’t even begin to describe its face.
>Just dwelling on its image, looking at it, it made my brain spiral and turn straight into flight mode.';

'>Its existence was like a black hole to my mind.
>The man started to speak again, asking me what I thought of the creature.
>Again, he cut me off before I could respond, describing the creature as “beautiful”.
>He told me that the creature has been the same since he first encountered it.
>He still withers and grows old but the creature never ages.
>I tried to cover my eyes, but my hands were trembling to much to be able to move them.
>It was then, looking down at my shaking hands, that I noticed that the water I was stood in was not actually water.
>It had changed colour.
>The water was a murky red.
>I asked if it was the blood of the creature. I asked how it could still be alive if it had lost so much blood but all he did was shush me.
>He told me that I ask too many questions. That all I do is ask and give nothing in return.
>I tried to ask another question but before I could, one of the chains holding down the beast snapped suddenly.
>Both pieces of the chain fell to the ground and caused the entire place to shake which nearly knocked me off my feet and into the liquid I was stood in.
>One by one, each shackle began to snap off and fall to the ground.
>The sight was horrifying.
>” It is going to devour all of you.” Was the only word that the man said.
>He said it so casually, like it was no big deal at all.
>I asked him what was going to happen, if he could kill it, if we could kill it.
>He told me he already had.
>Again and again.
>A countless number of times.
>He told me that the creature always comes back each time, stronger than ever, and that he grows weaker and weaker.
>That’s what this place was for.
>It was a tomb trapping the creature so that when he finally lost to the creature, it still couldn’t make its way out.
>He told us that we ruined that when we drilled our holes and stepped foot into this place.
>He showed me more images.
>Images of the sarcophagus we had found being loaded onto a truck to take back to the U.S for study.';

'>It had not yet been opened.
>I asked the man what I needed to do.
>There was something like a white flash and the next thing I knew I was awake again. For real this time.
>I was lying in my tent, sprawled out completely with Josh pacing nervously beside me.
>He was relieved to see me conscious again.
>I went into a frenzy, explain that the sarcophagus needed to be put back this instant and that I would explain after I made a full report back to base.
>He was completely shocked at this sudden reaction but he and the rest of the workmen on the site complied without any resistance.
>I made a full, in-depth report the first second I could.
>I was expecting to be laughed out of my role and dealt with accordingly but nothing of the sort happened.
>I was given a strict set of orders which I followed to the letter and within 12 hours a team was dispatched to us.
>Another team dropped by, one I had never seen or heard of before, and all of the workmen and me and Josh were escorted off site.
>We were sent back home and deployed to another mission, and I never heard anything about the sarcophagus again.
>I couldn’t exactly just ask about something confidential like that.
>Josh was transferred shortly afterward; he was relatively new, so it didn’t shock me all that much.
>Never heard from him again after that.
>I couldn’t help but wonder where he ended up.
>I couldn’t help but wonder what the did with that sarcophagus or whether they ever believed me and opened it up anyway.
>I suppose the world hasn’t ended yet so there’s that at least.
>Maybe they found another way to contain it or maybe they found some other secrets.';

'Sorry that I don’t really have anymore information than that /x/. This is a difficult story to recall for me and it all felt way too real. I guess it’s possible that I just imagined it all, but that wouldn’t explain why our superiors acted so hastily. Idk, I don’t think I’ll ever find any answers. I stayed in my role for a few more years after that but I became jaded quite quickly and opted to step into a less intensive role before eventually retiring. I have a lot more other experiences to tell you about, but they mostly just involve exploring catacombs for artifacts and killing certain targets which I might have to heavily censor just in case. Any questions I’ll try my best to answer.';

Hint for your next shitty LARP: pay attention to how you sound when you're telling a truthful account of something, then word the story to sound like that instead of a like a poorly-written novel. Your writing style is a dead giveaway. But please also just go to Reddit or something if you're going to do this kind of stupid shit in the first place. Not sure if you're too new to realize /x/ isn't just 4chan nosleep, or just too much of a fag to care.';

some dude went to work as dungeon diver under the sphynx his job was to just get whatever he could find down there and get it up, straight to the us government or whatever

he went there found some uncommon sarcophag that didnt match other egyptian mythology, he was just trying to get an idea about it and suddenly he felt pain in his brain like a dagger
he basically went all black but felt conscious, then he was like infront of an old man with a body of a warrior, the guy basically said hes a god and he shouldnt have done this, the god then showed him a creature that was very terrifying saying it would kill all of you, and hes that things guardian, so basically op asked wat do, and woke up and told them to put the sarcophag back asap, and weirdly enough everyone complied';
