Backrooms Decrypted: The Carrier (Level 17)
The Carrier is another name for The Backrooms Level 17. It has a CLASS 1 survival difficulty rating. It is SAFE and SECURE, with a LOW ENTITY COUNT. Level 17 looks to be an unending maze of a navy aircraft carrier's inside construction. The level is comprised of corridors and stairwells similar to those seen aboard an Essex-class ship. A flooded corridor may occasionally be encountered. These halls are one-way exits that link directly to Level 7's surface rooms. Level 17 is mainly barren of creatures, with only one entity that is unique to it. These beings, called as Imprints, are alter egos of previous Level 17 adventurers. 😣

Rebuild Team 2
Henry had built his room with tarps and bits and pieces of this and that. The colossal window was leaning inwards, held up by an assortment of garbage and boards, blown inward when the bomb pushed its murderous hellfire winds up and out. It was not ideal, but he said it was temporary until he figured out what to do with the window. She visited him most days. She should be helping with the rebuild, but her asthma prevented her from doing much considering everything in this quarter was still covered in thick ash.

Tales of London #5
Jenna had no choice. Jail, she wouldn’t even mind that much. She knew she was tough enough to last, and the thought of pissing off her father on a gigantic scale made her smile. But everyone sentenced for a crime committed by magic got also branded with a permanent Signum, cutting them off magic forever. It was a barbaric method, borderline fascist, but it did have results. Only, Jenna didn’t want to be a number in those statistics. She couldn’t imagine her life without magic: it was the only thing she was good at, the only thing she could always count on.

Backrooms Decrypted: The Infinite Apartment
You awaken, feeling carpet against your cheek. The strange, slightly out-of-date pattern you've come to expect from the Backrooms. What is that peculiar sound you can hear? This oddly tuneless easy-listening music is the kind you might find in an elevator, whisking you away to another world. Muzak that feels like it was written by a committee of mosquitoes as you stand, you see the similarly strange patterns on the wallpaper. This place never left the seventies, did it? Still, you'll take it over some limitless wilderness. It's time to figure out where you are and how you got here. You rise to your feet and begin to assess the environment around you. It seems as though you're in some kind of lobby, lined with elevators on both sides and marked entrances to stairways around the back.

Backrooms Decrypted: Surviving The Matrix (Level 12)
Welcome back, Explorer. You look tired. And of course, we don't blame you. You've had a long journey through The Backrooms so far, and considering some of the terrifying things you've seen over the previous eleven levels, who could blame you for losing sleep, there aren't many places in this frightening dimension where you can comfortably take the weight off your feet and just relax. Do you think you're any safer here, well, let's find out? Welcome to Level 12, Explorer. We hope you enjoy your stay. As you enter the level, you notice how different it seems from so many of the others. In many cases, levels of the Backrooms have been defined by their dizzying expansiveness. An office block that goes on for eternity. The endless, winding streets of a city that feels more procedurally generated than constructed by human hands. A field, misty and desolate, goes on and on and on and on. But that's not this level. It's a white room, not especially large or small. The gleaming paint job on the wall almost induces a kind of snow blindness. It's an unnatural level of crispness and clarity, like walking into some surreal screen saver. There's a door on the far wall, but strangely, you notice that there isn't a door behind you. Don't worry; you're too well versed in the ways of the Backrooms to be bothered by the logical inconsistency of that. You're instead focused on the chair and table sitting in the center of the room - as though you're preparing for a job interview, and your interviewer just happened to be late.

Withstand the Ridiculous
The Delaware Historical Connection had an idea. They wanted to see if there was an individual who knew the most about the state of Delaware. New Sweden University student Hollis Varner fit such a description. His skin looked black as tar but it was like the tar was on fire in his head. He wore a blue blazer with a red t-shirt and blue jeans and white sneakers. He looked like any other college kid but was still different. A mind afire with ideas and notions to succeed, he had majored in History and specialized in what happened in the Diamond State.

The Great Millfield Magic Show
The sun was setting on the small town of Millfield, casting a warm glow over the bustling main street. People bustled to and fro, running errands and chatting with their neighbors as they went. At the end of the street, perched atop a hill, stood the old, dilapidated mansion that had loomed over the town for as long as anyone could remember. It was a source of constant fascination for the townspeople, with rumors swirling about the mysterious owner and the strange goings-on inside.

Tales of London #4
Robert had two more lessons to give after the one in the morning, and nothing but caffeine and sheer will led him through them. His arm was pulsing with pain where the shadow hound bit him, and that wasn't even the worst part: his brain felt itchy with frustration because he couldn't figure out what that dog actually was. He hated when he didn’t understand something. Especially about magic: it was supposed to be his thing, after all.
