Stuck in The Backrooms

Level 1-1_Hello there

18, 19, 20...... 32, 33, 34-

That familiar feeling of smashing my head into nothingness... Except for this time I landed on the ground with my face, and I could feel that other people looked down on me.

" Here you are! I thought you wouldn't have made it." a quite easily recognizable voice made its way inside my ear, I have heard it every day when I am trying to listen to my teacher, and this specific voice will always find its way to get on my nerves. What is his name again? I don't remember, honestly I never truly interacted with any of my classmates, fuck me for being introverted.

My eyes look up from the gray ground to see- Yeah, it is definitely him. From his black hair, as curly as a fur ball, to his usual casual outfit, a sweater, and long jeans... With a tear on his right side, oh, how could I forget, his sunglasses.

" Well? Don't you have something to say to your classmates? You lost the bet claiming this place is unreal!" The guy spoke to me with his two arms on the waist" In case you would cry for being alone, I tried to come in with you, be grateful!"

"... It would have been convincing if your shirt isn't torn up, you tripped and ended up here, didn't you?" I pointed at his shirt once I stand up, it was vague but I clearly saw an area of red bruises was there, quite nasty, must have been painful, probably he was pushed by someone.

That try-to-be mature guy stayed silent, so I just ignore him and try to find the ' M.E.G' who left the notes in Level 0. I only took a glance at Level 1 to Level 5 in the wiki before I ended up here, and the document ' M.E.G' left only provided hints until level fun. If I want to leave the Backrooms, it is best to get more information.

" H-hey! Don't just leave me hanging here! Look, I didn't mean to- uh, just- Just, let's not split up? Please?" He nervously pulled my sleeves.

" As long as you shut up. Knew you were acting out, I heard so much of your voice to know when you are being a braggart." I pull his hand away from my clothes" I am going to find whoever left those notes in that yellow maze, I want to leave this place, as soon as possible."

" You wouldn't need to find the M.E.G." A stranger patted my shoulder" Nobody has arrived in the Backrooms for at least 2 years, the Wi-Fi in the Backrooms failed and we have no clues what could have caused it, we need you two for help, to understand what went wrong."

A while later

It was a lot of information to digest at once, but I have just accepted that a supposedly nonexistent place with no sense of time and space does exist, might as well accept the truth. My materialism has left me.

So, to put it simply, as the agent, Brando, explained to us(I also get to know my classmates' name was Edan), the Backrooms had always gotten a wiki up on the ' Frontrooms', also known as the Earth, for checking for every wanderer to see through the Wi-Fi in the Backrooms by pretending to be a horror tale of some sort. However, two years ago, the Wi-Fi was gone, supposedly destroyed by unknown entities but the reason is still unknown, and some rules that were completely confirmed were changed, killing a large number of people as a result. It was also the time when there was no more new wanderer inside the Backrooms. M.E.G and many groups have been searching for answers but never succeeded to build a new Wi-Fi between Levels to connect other places, or find new equipments to build Wi-Fi in numerous Levels, neither is finding any reasons why the rules in the Backrooms simply changed like that, so they wish to know something from us, whether it is about the wiki or any news related to it.

" I am only here because I accepted a bet to prove the Backrooms don't exist. Other than the first 5 levels of this place according to the wiki, which is the same as the notes in Level 0, I know nothing." I answered Brando, and he told me it is okay, he will try to ask Edan instead and give me a small book to read before sending me away.

' Useless as always, aren't I the best?'

I mocked myself, then I begin flipping the pages of the book...

' Almond water is as important as before, cashew water is still dangerous to oneself, which will poison oneself and turn into a ■■■■■■ with the only way of reversing is to drink Almond water, the only difference being its taste and it only exists in the negative levels of the Backrooms.'

' Level 1 is mainly the same as before, the , as of now, the southernmost hallway in Level 1 are just like level 1.1, each few km leading to another sector. All entrances are secured by M.E.G. There is a group in the hallway called Tunnel Gang, believing that Sector 5, the most dangerous part of Level 1.1 hallway, leads to an exit. Recommend not to stay in contact."

Supplies seem increased.'

......

Everything is a bit similar like how Brando mentioned what the old Backrooms were like, but then something varies a bit... Messy. It's like a child trying to memorize something they have only seen once.

Anyway, as the book suggests, although it is unrecommended, one should not go to any level anymore until further notice from M.E.G. to confirm which way is safe, but if one has to, at least prepare much almond water and a weapon for self-defense... Great, I may have to stay here for months for that...
