NOVEL NEXT Chapter 13: Knowledge is power
After he finished with his snacks, he grabbed another bottle of almond water as he walked backwards into a wall with a smile. He seemed happy all the sudden, and the reason, was that he was making progress. He now understood where he was... by name. Even if he didn't know where that was he now understood a bit more about the world beyond the backrooms. Looking back to his actions he found satisfaction in the smooth transition he created. By changing the angle of the way he fell, he has achieved the fastest transportation from the frontrooms to the backrooms. Either the wounds of reality to the in between, or noclipping with the command of where to be transported.
As he moved back through the wall he gave the location he wished to go, he wanted to continue his journey in the so called J-Japan. His body appearing back first into the frontrooms. There were no one there because it was now a few hours away from midnight. But it didn't matter anymore, because he knew where he was. By the sound of the name, if there is a name of a place, then there is more to be explored, so he decided to stay here, until he was confident enough with all the information he needs for this place.
But either way he was always free to return to the kingdom of liminal spaces, his home...
His choice of route was random, he didn't know where exactly to go, so it was simply just a roulette for him. A peaceful one either way, He still had a goal, and he was going to find it in anyway. An endless pursuit of a goal which once done will be exchanged again and again, until everything in this world has been done through his eyes.
The emptiness was comforting for him, but it was soon ruined by the feeling of boredom. Did he really need a constant source of entertainment? Perhaps... As he walked around his mind created scenarios where he was doing cool things, just so he can be entertained until the reality provides him with it. But even that got boring, because he couldn't feel the thrill of it. Perhaps a fight with an entity might be refreshing, or by any miracle a new challenger could appear, but he didn't do neither. As he began to think while walking in those quiet streets, he suddenly heard that big TV from earlier, it was a podcast. Which was currently commenting on him. Those people seemed to prove quite interesting as he found a place where he could sit, and simply watched it as it was meant. The people in question a girl with glassed, a basic guy, and the person who was asking the question, finely build.
"So what are your theories on the situation?" The interviewer asked. "Eh, not sure how to interpret it exactly, but I have a crazy theory, There is something on the internet. A creepy pasta, the backrooms... And the yellow blurry vision in the cops video could definitely be level 0... I was one of the people who were onto this project at its earlier stages, and I even have a page which I made on the wiki dot." The guy said, he seemed confident as if he was preparing for this moment his whole life.
"Sounds interesting... Very interesting indeed. Say can you tell up more about the so called wikidot." The cast person asked.
"Of course... It's basically a Wikipedia with information about the levels of the backrooms, it's entities, objects, properties and such. There are groups of people, the most popular being M.E.G which stands for major explorer group. There's are many stories. And I did say really cool stuff. Like one of my favorite entities, is perhaps Argos. This guy will hunt you down if you are guilty based on a set of rules, that we are not even aware of what they are. But the concept is great, I like it." The guy explained
"How exactly, does this entity hunt down people?"
"Go read the wiki, I ain't remembering those I don't remember that many lines of text." The guy said as he lifted his shoulders. This sound quite interesting to the child, but how exactly would he access the wiki dot? It was nice to know that he always had a source of information, perhaps he can team up with M.E.G and help them explore the backrooms... This could help him improve his understanding on reality in general knowing that he had a group with which he can talk with except the entities of the backrooms.
But now... He was aware of the existence of a shortcut through his way of understanding the backrooms. Thought not sure on how it would help him solve this infinite puzzle, the information is going to prove useful in the future.
"How will i access it?" He yelled at the screen as if he was going to be heard.
"How exactly do we access it? I suppose there is a link or something like that."
"Yeah there is a link, here the link." The guy said as he pulled out his phone. Something in the childs mind told him exactly what it was even if in his "life time" he hasn't seen such thing. But he hasn't seen anything at all.
That rectangular device, he never had one. Where could he find one? perhaps a shop or something, or maybe in the backrooms somewhere. The backrooms helped him find food by directly leading him to it. So he simply gave his wish, to be lead, even if he wanted to listen some more to the podcast. He had a task that he put up for himself.
As he fell backwards he noclipped through the floor and with a smooth transition, with the darkness of the in between. He was touching the dirt of level 563. A level he has already visited, a one that is already familiar enough for him. He has seen phones lighters and such on the side of the path, but he never grabbed one. He looked around to find the key to the short cut of his journey. And as he was willing to have one, he found one. Picking it from the ground he... Didn't know how to use it. Yes he can write, read and speak, but why is there a need of password? He knew the meaning of the word, but not so much the reason of why there was one. Wasn't this a new phone?
He wrote "Iwantinformation" And to his surprise it worked he opened the phone. But not how did he search? He pressed at random and after opening, a vast number of apps he finally hit the search engine... He smiled and laughed slightly over how stupid he looked in his head, just pressing at random with hopes of getting it to work. Good entertainment for his little infinite mind.
As he wrote in, backrooms wiki dot, by using the name of what the guy said in the podcast, and the word which was the deciding factor in uncle Gogles verdict. But it didn't work, he didn't had wi-fi to access. He began to laugh out of spite, as he looked at it. He was annoyed at the fact that there was another step to it. But then he simply asked the backrooms to lead him by his hand to the level with wi-fi. Any level at all. And the level in question, was level 0 with that great wi-fi connection called K38Suh9FH98mBKR.
"Yeah, even i am not bashing that much." He said as he went on the wi-fi setting and looked at the name, he had a skeptical look, but it doesn't hurt for him to try. As he connected to the Wi-fi, he quickly went to the search engine, and looked up the wiki dot once again, this time in success. As the page slowly loaded. Finally he had access to it, as he began to focus on the things that sounded most logical for him to click on. Library -> Levels -> • Level 0 - "Tutorial level"
