After catching my breath, I dragged myself up and scanned the room.
The door had led to a cramped space with beige wallpaper and harsh fluorescent lights. A table and chair sat in the center—*actual furniture.* I collapsed into the chair, relief flooding me… until I spotted the folder on the table.
A winged eagle emblem stamped above three letters: **M.E.G.**
Inside were documents detailing exits from Level 0. My hands shook. *This could end the nightmare.* But reality hit hard.
The only escape? **"Noclipping"**—phasing through walls to jump between levels. For Level 0, you had to *collide with walls.* But that just spat you into another hellhole, not home.
My throat burned. Hunger gnawed. A dizzying whisper crawled into my skull. The files warned of **"mental corrosion"**—the Backrooms eating your sanity. The cure? **Almond Water.** None here. To survive, I had to noclip to Level 1.
This room—the **"Manila Room"**—was a safe zone. No entities. No shifting walls. But no escaping *from* it either. I crept back into Level 0.
The moment I stepped out, the hum of lights died. Carpets dried. Walls morphed into unfinished drywall. *Wrong.* I spun to retreat—
The Manila Room's door was gone.
Instead, pristine white walls and plush red carpet stretched endlessly. A bathroom door mocked me from the left. *Too clean. Too quiet.*
I stumbled backward—and the world exploded.
Ceiling tiles rained down. Walls cracked like eggshells. A black stick-figure silhouette lunged from the dust. **The Bacteria.** Again.
I sprinted, debris nipping at my heels. Another door materialized. I slammed through it—
***Thud.***
Back in Level 0. The creature's screams cut off. But my knife was gone. My head throbbed. Whispers crescendoed into shrieks.
*Click-clack. Click-clack.*
The Bacteria emerged from a corner. Third time's the charm.
I ran, legs jelly. A glowing marble caught my eye. I grabbed it—
***CRASH.***
My shoulder smashed into a wall. Reality warped.
