Shadows Of Circuitry: Level Glitch

Title: Shadows of Circuitry

Chapter 1: The Glitched Horizon

The endless maze of the Backrooms always found ways to lure wanderers into new horrors, but Level Glitch, also known as the Endless Circuitry, was a nightmare all its own. This level was unlike anything the group had encountered before—a sprawling, seemingly infinite labyrinth of malfunctioning electronics, broken screens, and tangled wires that buzzed and flickered with erratic energy. Neon lights blinked on and off, casting ominous shadows in the dimly lit aisles.

Kasper took the lead, his hoodie dimly glowing under the flickering fluorescent lights. His neon green and purple fur, normally vibrant, now seemed washed out against the mechanical backdrop. He pressed a hand against a nearby wall, feeling the hum of electricity coursing through the steel panels. "This place feels...wrong," he muttered.

Behind him, Cosmic stepped forward, his deep purple fur swirling with cosmic energy. His celestial markings glowed softly, their light distorted by the erratic pulses of the broken machinery. "It's more than wrong—it's unstable. There's something beneath the surface here, something alive."

Fabian, the calm and composed blue fox, nodded as he strode beside them, his crown glinting faintly in the flickering light. "We've entered a realm that wasn't meant for us."

Chapter 2: The Static Threat

As they ventured deeper into the level, the group came across a massive, shattered monitor wall, each screen displaying distorted images of their surroundings. One of the screens flickered, showing a hazy image of Trap, the bat-like rogue, standing still. However, in reality, Trap was walking beside them.

"Why do I feel like I'm being watched?" Trap quipped, his wings fluttering anxiously. "These screens—are they showing us?"

A loud crackling echoed through the air, causing them all to stop. From the darkness, an ominous figure appeared, stepping out from behind one of the towering shelves of broken technology. Its form was made entirely of static and wires, twisted together into a vaguely humanoid shape with a television for a head. Its screen flickered with a hollow, glowing eye that tracked their every move.

"Static Jack," Fabian whispered under his breath, recognizing the entity. "It's hunting us."

Static Jack, a monstrous entity born from the broken circuitry of the level, had been known to stalk wanderers. It emitted bursts of electric shock and twisted reality around itself, using the flickering screens to trap its prey in illusions and false paths. The creature let out a sharp burst of static, causing the monitors around them to crackle violently.

"We need to move," Dusty whispered, his normally playful demeanor now serious as his hooves lightly touched the metallic floor. The deer-like creature's ears twitched as he scanned the maze of electronics, searching for an escape route. "Fast."

Chapter 3: Into the Void

The group sprinted through the narrow aisles, ducking under hanging wires and dodging malfunctioning appliances that sparked and hissed. Every step echoed loudly through the metallic halls as Static Jack pursued them relentlessly, its movements unnaturally quick despite its mechanical body.

They turned a corner only to find themselves in front of a massive, malfunctioning elevator. Its doors were stuck open, wires sparking dangerously inside. "That thing's our only way out," Trap muttered.

"Or it's a death trap," Alyx countered, his red fur standing on end. The floating heart above his head flickered faintly as he glanced back, hearing the static footsteps growing louder. "But it's not like we have much choice."
