Level 522

Level 522 is the 523rd level of the backrooms.
Description
Level 522 is a vast complex of interconnected apartment buildings haphazardly constructed into the level’s foundation at an undetermined period of time. Each building possesses a unique geometrical appearance, with several buildings accommodating multiple rooftop or balcony accesses; with multiple balconies barricaded and reinforced with steel bars to prevent exceeding pollution. Furthermore, every building and corridors in the level are extremely cramped and is subject to poor sanitation, likely due to the level’s absence of any garbage disposal system. The alleys within the level function as a concourse, linking separate apartment buildings and corridors, with a numerous quantity of wires suspended to the ceiling, conducting and transferring electricity from an undetermined source to each apartment.
Each individual apartment is usually constructed with at least one window, allowing light to illuminate and irradiate the apartment room with natural sunlight. However, it is important to note that most windows in the aforesaid apartments are blocked due to the walls of other buildings, with most apartments being artificially lightened with electric lamps. Level 522 is often regarded by most wanderers as a dead end, due to the immense difficulty of navigating through the alleys and corridors in order to exit the level. This level is notoriously infamous, as an abundance of entities may ambush unforeseeably at seemingly intermittent intervals.
A numerous number of vendors operate throughout the alleyway or the first floor of the level, selling items and contrabands, which may include nourishment, beverages, lighters, weaponry, and most commonly Almond Water; with most of these items being sold at a reasonable/affordable price. The level is extremely densely populated, and despite the level’s entity infestation, most residents of Level 522 has conducted several preparations for the occasion. Most residents are willing to assist new wanderers to adapt to the level’s surroundings, and aid them to navigate throughout the level when experiencing difficulties with maneuvering through the level. 
The ground floor of the level is feasibly accessed via staircases, escalators, and elevators located at the end of alleys. It is often utilized as a hub for vendors, selling merchandise and multiple other items. In terms of size, the level has a quite infinitesimal size compared to larger levels such as Level 0, and contrary to popular belief, this level doesn't contain a day and night system; instead, the level is interminably situated at night, never seeming to alter its state.
The level has gained a popular nickname by many, developed by a countless number of wanderers; often referring to Level 522 as “The Walled City of the Backrooms” due to its resemblance with Hong Kong's infamous Kowloon Walled City (九龍寨城). Multiple wanderers whose former life revolved around Kowloon Walled City, has described Level 522 as "home" and "very nostalgic", which has been recorded in some documented, and archived interrogations with aforesaid wanderers during the previous visit to
