[DAY 2: 𝐑𝐔𝐍]

Hours have passed when he started his endless journey around level 0, he continue wandering around aimlessly and helplessly around the level... 
"Ugh...My legs hurt...When do these halls even end...?" He thought to himself exasperatedly as he continued walking tiredly...

The halls seemed to keep looking the same no matter which direction he went as he felt a slight feeling of agitation and panic... 
"This place must be really big..." He pondered to himself as continued walking throughout the halls tiredly...

Hours passed by as he continued walking through the halls...Repeatedly encountering the similar halls all over again... 

Until... 
Along with his long journey throughout level 0, he stumbled upon an unfamiliar looking hallway... 
"Huh...That's strange..." He thought as he looked over the direction on where the hallway is in curiously... 

The noticeable differences with the unfamiliar hall is that the lightings were emitting a bright red color throughout the long hallway... 

Curiosity came over to him as he slowly turned to the direction and approached the red halls, unaware of what the danger he'll get himself in... 

"The halls look different...It's just all...Red..." He muttered in surprise and curiosity as he slowly approached the red halls even closer out of curiosity... 
He slowly continued creeping closer to the hallway until he was at a fair distance... 
"Strange...The lights here are yellow...But, the lights there are..." He looked at the red light emitting the halls... 
"Red..." He blurted out. 

He peeped in closer and closer... 

... 
... 
"Huh?...What happened-" 
The moment he peeped closer to the red halls at within arm's reach, all of the halls suddenly became red as he looked back, no longer seeing the previously empty yellow halls behind him... 
"What?..." He blurted out as the feeling of confusion and slight panic started to wash over him. 

"What just happened?!...Why is everything different, now?!" He looked around in panic and bewilderment... 

He tried to process the fact that level's layout suddenly changed along with the red light emitting the halls now being everywhere the moment he set foot into that area... 
"I don't understand! It was all yellow earlier!..." He said in bewilderment and panic. 

He looked around his surroundings now trying to take in the new environment around him as he tried to regain his composure from his shock earlier... 
"Oh...Oh, no..." 

[NEXT PART] 

As he slowly regained his composure, he now slowly took in the level that was once a hall's  surroundings... 

The level could be described as one entirely narrow and long hallway...Having glowing exit signs hanging from the ceiling that were the ones responsible for providing the only source of light that came in a deep red hue...The secured steel doors from each side was also noticeable...He turned around and noticed the scattered hospital beds and materials everywhere throughout the long hallway that was previously dropped by wanderers who would we probably assume that was in this level before your arrival... 

He was slightly baffled at the level's interior as he looked around, hearing sirens echo throughout the halls... 

"...Strange..." He noticed the slight resemblance of the level to a hospital hallway... 
He was still unfamiliar with his surroundings as he watched the narrow hallway go on for meters... 

He walked past the scattered items and furniture as he through the halls, feeling uneasy...  

What exactly is this place?... 
He continued walking around until the blaring sirens started to get louder and deafening. 
He looked up at the exit signs as they started glowing even brighter... 
"What the?..." He blurted out before footsteps start to rise... 
The footsteps started to grow more louder as he started walking faster, now changing at a quick and rapid pace... 
The ground started to rumble as the footsteps started to get louder and nearer, he slowly started increasing his pace as he began running... 

Ř̶̤͉̳͍̦͓͆͌U̷̮̞̹͍͖͑͂̒̔̄͗̇͗̇͋N̷̲̥̘̹̻̠̟̻͍̅̽ 

The footsteps kept growing louder until a horde started to emerge from the darkness. 
He looked back in horror as a wave of adrenaline and panic quickly washed over him, now beginning to run quickly... 
"WHAT?! WHERE DID THEY COME FROM?!" The thought raced into his head rapidly as he ran from the horde that was slowly catching up to him... 

He ran desperately from the horde as he obtained a few energy bars from the ground or shelves, eating it as he gained a little bit of energy to keep running from the horde... 

The horde seemingly started getting aggressive in the process as they started to run faster with some of them hurling out in rage, while some of them started to fall behind or either trip on certain items or furniture and lag... 

He can feel himself slowly get worn out by the amount of running as the entities/horde slowly started reaching closer to him within arms' reach. 
He panted in exhaustion but was still desperate to make it out alive as he started pushing himself to his limits to run faster, ignoring the sore feeling on his legs as he continued running, determined to make it out alive. 
"Pant I can...pant...make...it..." He panted and ran desperately... 

Some of the entities could now be heard crashing and breaking through the objects due to their rising rage and desire to capture him...
He panted heavily, continuing to run for his life  throughout the long hallways, despite his exhaustion, in desperation to make it out unharmed and alive... 

The entities slowly started to decrease with the others lagging behind, the main ones now growing more aggressive as their presence slowly drains out some of his sanity while on the chase... 

He continued fleeing and fleeing as soon the sight of the exit slowly came to his sight, making his eyes widen in relief and surprise, now running even faster to reach the exit... 
The blaring of the sirens could still be heard as he slowly came closer and closer to the exit... 

The remaining members of the horde continued to chase him with the desire to capture him...
 He continued running and running, almost out of horde's reach, his eyes lighting up in relief and desperation as he slowly started inching and inching closer to the exit as he ran quickly... 

The horde was almost gonna catch him as one of the entities' claws slowly started to reach out for his jacket and tug into it, making him stumble back a bit. 
However, he quickly took his jacket off, leaving it as he continued running away from the horde now 3 feet away from the exit as the feeling of relief started to wash over him... 
"I'm gonna make it out alive...I have to...This is my only chance..." He thought as he ran closer to the exit, now even more determined to keep himself alive and avoid getting captured by the horde... 

He was only 2 feet away from the exit, as the horde was hurling out aggressively, desiring to catch him as he ran, panting and sweating... 

The horde was almost about to reach him and lunged forward at them, until he swiftly opened the exit door and went through it, slamming it shut and leaving the furious entities/horde in the level... 

He panted and slid back down on the wall, panting, breathing heavily, and sweating profusely as he tried to regain back his energy... 
His legs felt sore from all that running and leaping off of objects in the level, however, he felt relieved that he avoided a route straight to his demise... 
"I made it...I really did..." He thought with a slightly victorious expression visible on his worn out and tired face...
