Backroom Breakout

Chapter 15: The Habitable Zone(2)

As Ryo and Bob walked through the endless maze of rooms, Ryo couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. He knew that he was in a dangerous place, and that he needed to be careful.

But despite the danger, Ryo was determined to find a way out of the backrooms. He had survived the validation of his special trait, and now he was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

"So, what do you know about this level?" Ryo asked, trying to gather as much information as he could.

Bob shrugged. "Not much, really. I've only been here a few times. But from what I've seen, the Habitable Zone is a relatively safe place. It's where most people who get stuck in the backrooms end up eventually."

Ryo nodded, taking in this new information. He knew that he had to be careful, but he also couldn't help but feel a sense of hope.

As they walked, they came across a group of people huddled around a campfire. Ryo's heart skipped a beat as he saw them, hoping that they might have some answers.

"Hey, can you guys help us?" Ryo asked, approaching the group cautiously.

The group turned to look at them, their eyes filled with suspicion.

"Who are you?" one of them asked, a woman with short, dark hair.

"I'm Ryo, and this is Bob," Ryo said, gesturing to his companion. "We're just trying to find a way out of the backrooms."

The woman's expression softened slightly. "Well, you're in luck. We might be able to help you. But first, you'll have to prove yourself. We don't just let anyone join our group."

Ryo nodded, understanding. He knew that he had to be careful, but he was also determined to do whatever it took to survive and find a way out of the backrooms.

Together, he and Bob set off to prove themselves to the group, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
