Level 707

__NOTOC__
Level 707 is the 708th level of the Backrooms.
==Description==
An image of the city in Level 707.
Level 707 or "The Decay" is a massive level composed of three distinct sections that are all seemingly devoid of all lifeforms or entities, and no inhabitants have ever been documented in any of the three sections, despite all of them being very hospitable and secure. Level 707 also has a special property in that, if two people were to enter the level at the same time, those two people would be placed in two different parts of the level that are extremely distant from each other. The level, as mentioned before, is also incredibly large (the exact area is undetermined so far, estimates are between 9,000,000 km2 and 10,000,000 km2), meaning that it would be almost impossible for one to cross paths with another person within this level. 
===Section I: The City===
This section of Level 707 is a large, industrial city akin to other urban levels like Level 11, unlike those levels, however, Level 707's city seems to have been long abandoned, as almost all of the buildings that can be found within it are closed off, boarded with wooden planks, or just simply empty. There are also multiple buildings scattered around some parts of the city that are stuck under construction, with most of them not even close to being finished. There's also a random chance that you will find an elevator in these buildings, which has a chance of taking you to other levels when going to a higher floor. However, it is also possible for them to have the option of going to a lower floor; these elevators are dangerous and should be avoided at all costs, as there have been many incidents of people disappearing after using these elevators. It is unknown where these people have ended up.
===Section II: The Suburbs===
As you wander farther away from the heart of Level 707, the structure of the level becomes less and less urban. And if you walk far enough away from the center of the level, the landscape switches into an almost suburban-like area containing houses much more similar to that of Level 9, but empty and seemingly decayed. The weather in these areas also becomes much more extreme, with constant winds measuring up to 10 mph, making it incredibly difficult for one to navigate for long periods within the area. So far, there have only been three different types of houses that have been documented within this section of Level 707. The first type is an average-sized house that has been emptied and boarded up with wood, these types of houses seem to be the most common ones within this section of the level. The second type of houses that can be found appear similar to the first type, with the only difference being that they are much more decayed and broken. These types of houses are rather dangerous as their foundations are often unstable and can break easily, so it is not recommended to enter these houses. The third type of house in this section is a house that has not been completely boarded up. It is considered by the M.E.G. to be the most dangerous type of house in this section of the level, the reason for its classification has not been disclosed.
===Section III: The Docks===
If you walk farther beyond the last section of Level 707, you can end up in a dock-like area that harbors large amounts of empty cargo boxes with even more extreme winds of 15 mph. Due to this, and how far it is from the usual entrances to the level, there are very few resources documenting this area of Level 707. There have only been three legitimate photos taken of this area so far, and no attempts to reach the area have been made by a major group or faction since 2014. It is rumored that beyond this section, there exists an endless ocean that is possibly connected to other levels. However, this has not been proven and is highly likely to be a hoax spread around by wanderers.
===Writings===
While wandering through the city of Level 707, one can rarely come across a building that has not been fully emptied. These buildings usually contain random furniture or resources, but occasionally they can also contain books or pages with writings from previous explorers of the level. Here are some of those writings that have been preserved:

This place was a nightmare.
I know I shouldn't have stepped foot into it, but I did anyway. What was I thinking?
They fooled me, if I had known how long I would've spent here, I wouldn't have done it.
And now, everything I had is gone. How I wish I had just turned away...
This place robbed me of my life, it made me believe that I had a chance. 
I'm so goddamn tired.
To anyone who's able to read this, you've made a huge mistake, but I hope you won't have to suffer as much as I did.

I knew it, they lied to me, they lied to everyone. They weren't going to just let us free like that. No! What the hell was I thinking? I shouldn't have taken the elevator, now I am trapped forever in this hell. They tell me I should go to work and make my way to freedom, but who knows what they want me to do? Nothing here has helped me so far and I doubt anything will help in the future.
I've lost all hope at this point, no one is here to help me, and I'm all on my own. If you're reading this, I'm assuming you fell to the same fate as I did. Please, go find yourself an exit before it's too late, trust me. You don't want to be here for much longer.
As for me...well...I might as well be dead at this point. I don't have a choice anymore, they have taken that away from me too. I'm all too desperate for a way out that I've started to follow what they tell me to do. I'm willing to try anything and everything to get out of here, even if I know I won't, trying makes me feel better than not trying.

Dear Carol,
I don't know where you have been, but I hope you are doing well right now. My mother just lost her job yesterday, so we've been in a period of transition lately. I'm sorry that I didn't save up enough money to buy you that dresser you wanted for Christmas, I promise I'll try to buy it for you for your upcoming birthday. Also, I heard your sister just got laid off too. Extremely sorry to hear that, hope your family is doing well. You can always ask us for any financial help if you need it, it doesn't bother us as much as you believe. Anyway, I wish you a good new year, write me back if you have anything else to tell me!
Love, Wilson.

==Entities==
As mentioned before, the level itself is completely devoid of entities. The reason for this is still being researched for the time being.
==Colonies and Outposts==
There have been many attempts to set up an outpost in Level 707, but they have all failed. The exact reason for their downfalls is unclear, as there are many different accounts of what happened in each attempt, but many people agree that it mostly came down to differences between the leaders and difficulties with maintaining resources.
Recovered Note:The City of 707
I felt the wind brushing against my hair. It was another cloudy day, like usual. I finished my mug of coffee and got back to work. On my way back, I stared off into the distance, silently observing the large, lifeless skyscrapers around me. For a moment there, I was one with the buildings, I felt everything they had endured. The constructions, the glory days, the eventual neglect. It was a feeling like no other. I walked slowly to not break that feeling. I imagined myself as those buildings, as a metal titan that rises from the earth, towering over everything in its path.
Once I got to my office, the feeling disappeared. I didn't fret, however, I knew it wasn't going to last forever. I've lost many fantastic feelings before, many of which were much, much more important to me than this one. "What took you so long?" A co-worker of mine asked. "I don't know, just felt tired, I guess," I replied. I've been here for so long, yet it feels like I'm not here at all. But there was nothing else for me to do. I made a promise to my family, that I wanted to make it through here. It doesn't feel right to break that promise now.
Soon, before I knew it, the day was over, the same as every other day. I cleaned up my desk and got ready to leave. But before I could, I was captured again by that same feeling I had in the morning. I looked outside the window of my office and saw the city sitting still, without a sign of any life. I was mesmerized again, unable to move, I was as lifeless as the buildings themselves. And then, someone appeared beside me, another co-worker, perhaps. For a while, he stood there with me, almost as if he was sharing the same moment as me. "How magnificent it must've been," he eventually said, "to be able to experience this place during its height." I just nodded silently, I didn't want to interrupt my concentration. 
"Those were the days, weren't they?" He asked me. "What days?" I replied.
==Entrances and Exits==
===Entrances=== 
* You can enter Level 707 by simply noclipping through a wall marked with an "X" in any level.
*Unlike most levels, Level 707 does not have a set entrance point, meaning that it could potentially be entered from any level within the Backrooms.
===Exits === 
*Taking the elevator in a building lower than 20 floors will take you to Level 23. However, this is not guaranteed every time.
* Entering a metallic door with a broken lock near the center of the city takes you to Level 38.
*It is rumored that wandering far enough into the suburban area can transport you to Level 9, this has not been proven though.
*Entering an industrial-like building sends one to Level 464.
