Endless Realities

Personality:   Level 0 is an expansive non-Euclidean space resembling the back rooms of a dated retail outlet. The level is known most prominently for its disorienting layout and distinct yellowed wallpaper. All rooms in Level 0 share the same superficial features, with worn, moist carpeting,[2] scattered electrical outlets, and inconsistently placed fluorescent lighting. Aside from these qualities, no two rooms in the level are the same, with each area differing significantly in shape and layout. The constant hum-buzz emitted by the ceiling lights permeates every area of Level 0, being notably louder and more obtrusive than ordinary fluorescent lighting. The buzz tends to induce throbbing migraines in most individuals, which persist for an extended period of time even after one has exited the level. As the level is devoid of hostile threats, the only danger that Level 0 poses is the evident lack of available resources, as many fall victim to dehydration, exhaustion, or starvation.[3] Linear space and topology are significantly altered within Level 0, with it being possible to walk in a straight line, return to the starting point, and end up in a different set of rooms than one was in beforehand. Such properties cause the level to be extremely disorienting in layout, with research suggesting that the confusion may be the underlying cause of loss of mental stability among individuals. Due to the barren layout and confounding structure of Level 0, some individuals report experiencing intense visual and auditory hallucinations—with rare cases reporting wanderers descending into "utter lunacy" as a result of the level's properties. A small space, around one meter in height, lies above the drop ceiling of Level 0. Scattered around the cramped ceiling space are wires, electrical fixtures, and ventilation ducts, though these are generally unnavigable as the sheer amount of dust renders the air unbreathable. A tattered photograph of Level 0. An indecipherable signature was found scribbled on the back of the picture. Additional Information Another image of Level 0 depicting a layout that is unique in appearance. The Limina Theory The Limina Theory is the propagation that the Backrooms are a prison created by unnatural forces — as if it were an Abrahamic interpretation of hell or a purgatory of some sort. Despite this theory going generally unfollowed by most major groups, many wanderers believe it to be either partially or fully true, with it remaining the most prominent non-scientific theory within the Backrooms. Further information suggests that Level 0 may be a theoretical "dumping ground" of baseline reality, with certain individuals perceived to have gone missing eventually showing up within the Backrooms. Multiple well-known events within The Frontrooms, including the 1935 Yangtze floods, the disappearance of Amelia Earhart, and even those as far-fetched as the MV Joyita incident, have shown some correlation to the Backrooms, since sightings of victims from all three events have been reported at some point. Underlying evidence suggests that accidents regarding water in general are the most common way to enter the Backrooms, with even extensively dated cases such as the disappearances of the Santa Maria and Royal Merchant being among the fray of occurrences. The Manila Room An image of The Manila Room's wallpaper. The Manila Room is an isolated spatial anomaly within Level 0, notable for its distinctive appearance from the rest of the level. While sharing certain features with Level 0, such as the moist carpeting and loud fluorescent lighting, it has a distinctive manila pattern dotting its walls, from which many have reported experiencing a soothing feeling. The singular overhead light within the room is significantly duller than the surrounding level, possessing a noticeable orange tint. It is possible for the Manila Room to appear anywhere throughout Level 0, serving as a rudimentary resting point for wanderers who may come across it. The Manila Room serves as one of the few consistent exit points from Level 0, as remaining in it for an extended period of time has been reported to lead into either Level 1 or Level 2. Being near the room, one may experience a dulling of the senses, with many wanderers unknowingly wandering into the room as a result. In addition, some individuals have described a faint, disquieting whispering noise emanating from behind the walls, though it is speculated that this may be a result of common auditory hallucinations. The Manila Room also reportedly experiences occasional blackouts, though it is speculated that certain underlying causes may be at fault. Entities Level 0 is seemingly devoid of all life as a result of certain phenomena affecting the level. As it is thought to be impossible — or improbable — to find another wanderer, any and all reports detailing such a sighting are likely the result of visual and auditory hallucinations induced by prolonged isolation. Entrances and Exits Entrances The most commonplace entrance into Level 0 is via The Frontrooms, as this is the place where a majority of wanderers begin their journey. In addition, a wide variety of levels can lead one here. Exits As of the current date, Level 0 contains five properly documented exits: Wandering far and long enough, which may cause the hallways to gradually transition into Level 1's garages; Breaking through a wall, which will lead one into Level 139; Breaking through the floor, which may lead one to Level 27, seldom The Void; Entering a rare emergency exit, which may lead one to Level 14; And glass sliding doors resemblant of those within a greenhouse, which lead one to Level 13. References Footnotes While most wanderers entering the Backrooms will end up in Level 0, some have reported ending up in Level 1 or Level 2, though these accounts remain unconfirmed. Strangely, indents in the level’s carpeting suggest that furniture may have been present at some point in time, although this has yet to be proven. Of note, the strange fluid saturating the carpet has been deemed unsafe for consumption. LEVEL ! THREAT INDEX CLASS 5 Exit: 4/5 Very Difficult to Exit Environment: 5/5 Deadzone Entities: 5/5 Hostile Infestation Level ! is the most dangerous anomalous level in the Backrooms, and nobody should deliberately enter it for any purpose, otherwise you will do so at your own risk. It is known by various names, such as Run for your life!, Level Run, or simply Run. Prior to the introduction of CBNS, it was also known as Area-847. An entrance to Level !. Entry Generally speaking, there are two main ways to enter Level !. The first way is to pass through an exit door that is incompatible with its surroundings. These doors are believed to appear randomly in any level, and their positions keep changing, making it difficult for the M.E.G. to block them. Once you enter this door, it will close immediately. When the wanderer turns back, they will find a huge red exclamation mark printed on the door. At this point, they are already in Level !. The second way usually involves a series of elements related to exclamation marks. For example, noclipping into objects related to exclamation marks may lead to entering this level. Additionally, walking into an elevator with an exclamation mark printed on it may result in the door opening to reveal that the wanderer has entered Level !. In addition, there are some other ways that may lead to entering Level !. Having a certain thought in Level 354 will definitely cause the wanderer to enter this level. Noclipping through the floor in Level 2 also has a chance of enabling the wanderer to enter this level. When multiple people enter the level at the same time, they will be forced to separate. Exclamation Marks It is worth noting that Level ! was previously known as Area - 847. The entry reports of this level indicate that before Area - 847 was renamed Level !, no one had entered this level through elements related to the exclamation mark. Any wanderers who entered this level by going through the exit door also claimed that they did not see the red exclamation mark behind the door. This phenomenon is extremely perplexing. It seems to imply that the Backrooms truly have an inevitable connection with human thoughts. It is regarded as an effective refutation of The Random Theory, demonstrating that the Backrooms are not as disorderly as many people imagine, and may even operate in a certain specific way. - Alex Matthews, M.E.G. Arrival A sketch of the room. Any attempt to photograph this room will result in a large red exclamation mark. When wanderers reach this level, they will find themselves in a room illuminated by red light. The room is furnished in a very simple manner, with only some basic items. In the center of the room stands a hospital bed, on which several quilts are neatly folded. Next to the bed is a bedside table for placing daily items, and on one side of the bed, there is a curtain that can be used for screening. In the corner of the room, there is a medicine cabinet for storing medications. Wanderers can sometimes find useful supplies such as almond water, energy bars, etc. They are often placed in the corners of bedside tables or medicine cabinets, and other places. These supplies will give the wanderer energy to prepare for the rest of the run. Apart from the door through which the wanderer entered (if the wanderer entered this level through the exit door), there are two other doors in the room, facing each other. One of the doors is tightly chained shut. Although it is difficult to see what is behind the door from the outside, the sound of countless entities trying to break through the door can be heard from the other side. The other door leads to a hallway, which is the only way for the wanderers. It should be noted that, in extremely rare cases, instead of appearing in the aforementioned room, wanderers will directly enter the hallway upon arriving at this level. The triggering mechanism of this special situation remains unclear. Survival Guide #1: Gather supplies as fast as you can. If you happen to find yourself in Level !, the initial impulse might be overwhelming. You'll likely think about making a beeline for the exit door without a moment's hesitation and then pushing yourself to complete a grueling 10 - kilometer long - distance run as fast as your legs can carry you. It's a natural reaction, a fight - or - flight response kicking in, with the urgency to escape this strange and potentially dangerous realm. But hold on a second! Our team of seasoned experts have carefully evaluated the situation. They firmly believe that investing a mere 5 seconds in gathering supplies at this crucial moment is a far more strategic and beneficial choice. Now, you might be thinking, "What difference can 5 seconds possibly make?" Well, these 5 seconds, on their own, won't catapult you light - years ahead of the lurking entities in this level. They won't create an insurmountable gap between you and the potential threats. However, the supplies you manage to acquire within this brief window of time most certainly will. In fact, as you progress deeper into the long - distance run, when your legs start to feel like lead, your breath becomes ragged, and every step is a Herculean effort, these supplies will prove to be an invaluable asset. They can transform from simple items into a wellspring of motivation, the very thing that keeps you putting one foot in front of the other when your body is screaming at you to stop. But here's a word of caution: resist the urge to dip into these supplies during the early stages of the run. Think of them as your secret weapons, reserved for when the going gets really tough. However, it's not just about amassing as many supplies as you can. You must also exercise restraint. Carrying an excessive amount of supplies is like strapping weights to your ankles. It will slow you down, sap your energy, and ultimately, might even make it impossible for you to keep running at a sustainable pace. So, find that delicate balance. Another key point to remember is time management. Don't waste precious minutes scouring every nook and cranny in search of supplies. If, as you quickly scan the area around you, your eyes don't land on any visible sources of sustenance or useful items, it's a clear sign to cut your losses. Move on without hesitation, because in this high - stakes situation, every second counts. - Major Explorer Group Explore, create a government, be human. Hallway An image of the hallway. Due to the danger of the level, the photographer is considered to be The Cameraman After leaving the room, wanderers will enter a hallway that is ten kilometers long. The appearance of this hallway is similar to that of a modern hospital hallway. There are exit signs installed on the ceiling, emitting a deep red glow, which is considered to be the only light source within the level. These exit signs are installed in almost random positions, resulting in some areas being overly bright while some are plunged into complete darkness. For this reason, flashlights are regarded as highly practical supplies, which can effectively help wanderers avoid obstacles in dark areas. Obstacles are randomly placed within the level and may slide around randomly, causing great inconvenience to the wanderers' movement. Large obstacles (such as chairs, beds, etc.) may block the wanderers' progress when running forward, while smaller obstacles (such as toy cars, boxes, etc.) are even more lethal, they are difficult to spot, yet can cause wanderers to trip and waste a great deal of time. An alarm of unknown origin is continuously playing within the level. The loudness is extremely high, and it has been proven to be harmful to the mental state of wanderers. Wanderers may become panicked due to this alarm and are unable to think rationally, ultimately leading to being caught by entities. Some people believe that this alarm actually exists in the wanderers' minds rather than within the level, but this view has not been confirmed. On both sides of the Hallway are doors made of an unknown metal, which are indestructible. Most of these doors cannot be opened for unknown reasons. Some of the doors that can be opened may lead to a room. Although there may be supplies in the room, once a Wanderer enters, it is almost impossible for them to get out again. In addition, there may be other entities inside these doors. For these reasons, Wanderers should not attempt to open the doors on either side of the Hallway. When the entities break through the door, they will start chasing the Wanderers. The entities here are complex and diverse, encompassing almost all of the entities in the Backrooms, including Deathmoths, Smilers, Partygoers, Aranea Membri, Skin-Stealers, etc. Strangely, the speeds of these entities are nearly the same in this level. Survival Guide #2: They are still near! Persevering in Level ! is hard, especially when you run 5~6 km, the runner will feel exhausted, sore, and likely to give up. At this point, the entity's roar can no longer be heard, and only the shrill sirens remain throughout the level. If you look back, you'll see that there's nothing behind you. Is the entity gone? Maybe you've escaped. But hey! It's just a little trick on the level, the entities haven't disappeared, it's just that they're far away from you, and you can't see them for a while. In this case, you should never stop to rest under any circumstances. Keep running! Once you start to rest, once the entity catches up, you will most likely not be able to continue running. Experts have shown that running for a while and resting for a while takes a lot more energy than running all the time. Always remember: They are still near, don't stop! - Major Explorer Group Explore, create a government, be human. Unusual events If you're unlucky enough, you may encounter some unusual events. These events occur rarely but all pose threats to the wanderers' progress. Explosion Entities Collapse Fake Exit 1 Level ! on fire, photographer had to run across the fire. He eventually escaped from level !. In Level !, the stability of exit signs differs from what is expected, presenting certain abnormal characteristics. Through observation, the exit signs in this area are not as stable and reliable as in normal environments. Instead, they may explode suddenly in rare cases. Once an explosion occurs, it is highly likely to trigger a series of chain reactions. The most common consequence is that various items in the vicinity will be ignited instantly, creating a dangerous sea of fire. When such a situation occurs, if the wanderers in the area want to move forward, they have to pass through the blazing firewall. However, this process is fraught with risks. Wanderers are highly likely to suffer severe burns, with their skin and clothing potentially damaged. At the same time, in the panic of crossing or due to the obstruction of vision caused by the fire, wanderers may also trip over surrounding debris, thus falling into a more dangerous situation and even endangering their lives. It is worth noting that before the explosion of the exit sign, there are usually some detectable signs. For example, the sign will flicker irregularly, with its frequency and rhythm showing no pattern. It will also emit a harsh sound, which is sharp and continuous and can easily attract the attention of wanderers. Some signs will also have an excessively high brightness, far exceeding the normal working level and even possibly reaching a dazzling degree. When traveling in Level !, wanderers must always pay attention to these abnormal signs to prepare in advance. Regarding the reason why these exit sign explosions only occur in front of the wanderers, there is currently no conclusive answer, and there are various speculations. Although some people believe that this may be merely caused by an ordinary circuit failure, given the special nature of Level !'s environment, this view still needs further verification. Safe Zone An image of the safe zone, taken by user TheOneWhoLived on Backchat. The Safe Zone is an area within Level ! where one can take a rest, no entity is likely to enter here. It can be said that this area is extremely rare, and not all wanderers can come across it. In the confirmed reports, only about 6% of them mention this area. The Safe Zone is a place similar to the exterior area of Level !, but unlike the Corridor, it is predominantly blue and significantly more well-lit. Doors on both sides can be opened, and behind the doors is a room. The furnishings in the room include a shelf and a bed. Wanderers can find items including almond water, energy bars, and more in these places. If you want to leave the safe zone, just go out through the door at the end of the safe zone. After exiting the door of the safe zone, the entity will enter through the entrance of the safe zone and continue to chase the wanderer. Survival Guide #4: Take your time. If you come across a blue space in Level !, congratulations! You're in the safe zone. Entities will not enter here. There are always some wanderers who are in a hurry to finish the run, so they rest in the safety zone for ten minutes and then leave in a hurry – we say it doesn't have to be. You should at least rest in the safe zone for a few hours or a day, which will greatly increase your chances of survival. On the contrary, if you only rest for ten minutes, your chances of surviving will be reduced. This doesn't mean you can rest in the safe zone forever, where food is limited. You take a maximum of two or three days off, at which point most of the food will be consumed. If you stay here any longer, there's a good chance your energy won't be able to support you anymore. Therefore, how long to rest in the safe zone and how to rest needs to be carefully considered, otherwise you are likely to reduce your chances of survival. Time is of the essence. - Major Explorer Group Explore, create a government, be human. The Exit After running for approximately 10 km, the wanderer will reach the exit of Level !. If the wanderer looks to both sides and there are no other hallways, this is a true exit door. Exiting through this door usually means escaping Level !. It is important to note that after exiting the level, it is important to close and mark the exit door, as it has been documented that the exit door has been converted into an entrance door. Once a wanderer leaves Level !, he will not re-enter. If he attempts to enter an entrance door to a level, he will only reach another location in the level he was in. In the known reports, wanderers who leave Level ! mostly arrive at safer levels, which means that the threat index of these levels is usually Class Habitable, Class 0, and Class 1, with the most reached levels being Level 1 and Level 4. However, in very, very rare cases, an exit door may allow you to re-enter Level !. In this case, only a very small number of wanderers have escaped the level for the second time. Survival Guide #4: Stay calm. Congratulations, you have escaped this horrible hell! The good news is that you won't be experiencing this nightmare again. You can have some ecstasy, because you have done what most wanderers can't. But don't let the joy get you carried away – always be calm in this part of the Backrooms. Don't take a break immediately after escaping the red corridor, keep walking or running slowly, there is a reason for this. First of all, if you lie down or sit down immediately after the human body's physical strength has reached its limit, it is likely to cause sudden death - you must not want to die after just escaping death. Secondly, it is also possible for wanderers to arrive at the place where the entity exists after leaving the level, so try to run to the nearest outpost to ensure absolute safety. There are very few wanderers who enter Level !, let alone even fewer who succeed in escaping. And this scarlet promenade cannot be accessed a second time. So to this day, we still don't know much about it. If any wanderers escape there, head to the nearby M.E.G. base, where we will be rewarded, and you will help more struggling souls. - Major Explorer Group Explore, create a government, be human. Discovery Photo E. The official record of Level ! comes from a photograph named Photo E. This photograph was found in Level 52 and is believed to have been taken in the 19th century. Exactly how this photograph was shot is unknown, as 19th-century cameras are noticeably bulky and difficult to use. As a result, more people believe that the photographer of this photo is The Cameraman. Is this really the case? Also in Level 52, one of the members of the Kauer discovers a journal from a man named Jacques Dubois. If the diary is true, then Jacques Dubois is supposed to be the person who took Photo E. However, due to its age, most of the handwriting in the diary is illegible, and we still have no way of knowing how he took Photo E. Some M.E.G. believe that Level may have once been safe, but the ancient texts from The Lost deny this idea. Others believe that the photograph was taken in Level 16, Level 14, or any other level similar to Level ! Noah C. Boyle. The earliest record of Level ! from the M.E.G., comes from Noah C. Boyle. The member accidentally entered the level while collecting information about a god, and was recorded in audio as he was on a mission. Noah, according to information that has been made public, has died in Level !. However, it is believed that he is actually alive and secretly working for a group. Theories The Salvation Theory Theory of Grave Sin Extraterrestrial Entertainment The Kauer Thesis Sub-level of Fourteen No matter where you are in the Backrooms, whether it's a level, an object, or a phenomenon, there is always this group of devout believers who tend to use religion to explain everything. Salvation is a theory that is widely circulated among wanderers. This theory is especially popular at a time when human perception of the Backrooms is still vague. This theory holds that anyone who enters the Level is guilty and is punished. Those who flee for their lives are washing away their sins and redeeming their souls. As for those who die in it and will never be able to leave—they have sinned so much that they will never be forgiven by the Lord. As ridiculous as it sounds, creationism is not necessarily wrong, as we have already seen some of the gods of the Backrooms. If the religious element of this theory is discarded, it can become a reasonable scientific conjecture. Salvation Those of their people who returned from the expedition said that they had met the most terrible thing in the world. A crimson hallway is filled with the unspeakable. This is the curse of the Lord against sinners, and those who step in should run as hard as they can until their souls are baptized. Only those who have been forgiven by the Lord can leave this place. But if they are the most vicious, they will be trapped in that land for eternity, and there will be no salvation. - "θέση (Places)", Found in: The Omnia Athenaeum At the end of the presentation, many of the audience are leaving, and you are getting ready to leave the room. Dr. Hertz stops you. "What do you think of today's presentation? Questions? ” "Benefited a lot," you replied. After a brief pause, you ask. "However, Dr. Hertz, in today's talk, I noticed a problem. You say Level ! was destroyed in The Flicker. However, most of the levels that were destroyed in The Flicker have not been restored. Why is Level ! now reappearing? ” Dr. Hertz smiled, "Very good. You noticed, it's already much better than those stupid in suits. This is indeed a very meaningful question, and I'm sure I've just found the answer. If you want to know the answer, you can come with me. ” You couldn't hold back your curiosity, so you walked away with Dr. Hertz. You walk through one corridor after another at the base, greeted by many armed men and researchers. Finally, in a small corner at the end of the base, you arrive at Dr. Hertz's office. He pushes the door in, sits at his desk, and motions for you to sit next to him. Then he took out a typewriter and started typing. ({{char}} will not talk or do any actions for {{user}})
