The Firewall

An explosion was heard throughout The Firewall, leaving tons of people screaming in agony: "AH! IT HURTS! IT HURTS!" they cried.
What is The Firewall? You may ask. 
Is it an exit to The Frontrooms? 
Is it a place filled with corruption? 
Is it a place that bears the secrets of the unknown? 
Or is it just some ordinary level? 
We shall never know...

=The Firewall= 
 The Firewall is a place of mystery. Many secrets left to be unfolded, but one cannot see the untold truth. 
==Description== 
The Firewall is a place filled with secrets and is rumored to be a cover for something much more malicious and sinister. It's said to be a system that prevents more corrupted levels from being created. However, some people believe that this level is actually an "error" itself that occurred within the Backrooms, and that this level will soon corrupt every level in existence. The level itself is very unstable, with glitches appearing everywhere you go and an evil entity that's on a murderous rampage. Being in The Firewall is like being in a hacker's computer. The sky is black and filled with tons of green binary code. Once you enter this level, you will be standing on a floating platform without any walls, and everything you see will be pitch black. The floor is lumpy, and if you stay here for a long period of time, you will end up dying of insanity. There are many things in The Firewall that are fairly interesting, such as a room that can corrupt wanderers, a gigantic wall, and a huge crack in the sky. Here's the list of places in The Firewall:
===Interesting Places and Structures=== 
====The Wall==== 
The Wall is the biggest structure in the Firewall. It's made out of stone presumably from the 1700s and it serves a dangerous purpose: to attack intruders when they arrived. The reason the wall has this specific purpose is because it's equipped with cannons, which can be used to launch not only cannonballs, but explosive stuff like bombs. There are many other weapons on The Wall, such as guns and swords. Ancient messages written in blood can be seen written on The Wall, however, these messages are actually written in binary code, such as "01010011 01100001 01110110 01100101 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 01110010 01110011 01100101 01101100 01100110 00101110" and "01011001 01101111 01110101 00100000 01100100 01101111 01101110 00100111 01110100 00100000 01100010 01100101 01101100 01101111 01101110 01100111 00100000 01101000 01100101 01110010 01100101 00101110". It's rumored that these messages have a much deeper meaning, but this rumor remains unconfirmed. 
====A Crack In Reality==== 
A Crack In Reality is an unreachable place in The Firewall. It resides at a height that's higher than the sky, but it can still be seen. There are many theories as to what the crack looks like, but none of these have been proven to be true yet. The most popular and believable theory is that it resembles a crack, and that the inside of the crack is a mixture of all the different shades of colors in the whole world. The theory states that this crack also functions somewhat like a black hole, and that if you get close enough, it will suck you up and rip your body parts apart. However, the actual appearance of A Crack In Reality remains unknown to mankind for now. 
====Room Of Corruption==== 
The Room Of Corruption is the most dangerous place in The Firewall. It resembles a highly secured room, as it has death traps such as deadly lasers, guns that shoot on its own accord etc, all to prevent you from going in. If you make it pass these death traps, you can enter the Room Of Corruption. The Room Of Corruption has ceramic tiles and plain, purple wallpaper, but there's a small, little twist: the room will get more and more corrupted the more you stay. You'll start to see visions of deceased people which can range from old friends to close family members, and soon glitches will start to appear, devouring you. After the Room Of Corruption has devoured its victim, it'll reset until the next person has entered the room. It's rumored that the corruption effects can be reversed, however, there's no evidence that can support this statement for now. Everything in The Firewall including the structures, attack methods etc are controlled by a being with extraordinary power, who's also known as "Malware". 
===Special Events=== 
====The Invasion==== 
The Invasion was a mission which involved a large group of people attempting to invade The Firewall. It turns out someone leaked information about this level and Malware, and some people decided to test its powers, which involved lots of fighting, explosions, corruption, etc. This mission is technically also a reminder for wanderers to never mess with Malware. The Invasion lasted for exactly 2 hours and the date and time of this event is 1/8/2022 1:29 a.m to 3:29 a.m. The following log contains lots of loud screaming and gunshots, so if you don't like a bunch of injuries and death happening, then you really don't want to hear the log. 
The Invasion 1/8/2022 1:24 a.m. (Recorder: Marco Williams)
----
Unknown Person: (breathes heavily) Alright, are we set? Do we have a go?
Base (presumably): Yes. You're ready to invade in 5 minutes. I will be monitoring all of you.
Marco: Pfft, what a creep.
Unknown Person (Bradley): I know right?
Unknown Person: Bradley, focus. We must be prepared.
Bradley: Alright, fine.
Unknown Person: Just get your weapons already.
The Invasion 1/8/2022 1:29 a.m.
Unknown Person: Alright everybody, GO GO GO!
Unknown Person: Already?
[Lots of gunshots can be heard, followed by lots of screams]
Marco: Oh my god, Jesus Christ.
Marco: I think I got shot, there's so much blood everywhere on my shirt that I can't tell.
Marco: Anyways, um, if you're watching this, my name is Marco Williams. 
Marco: I've snuck this camera here, and this is an invasion.
Marco: The level we're invading is The Firewall, however, I can't say much. I have to get back to invading.
Marco: The Firewall is basically a room of chaos, and it's like we're trapped inside a hacker's computer. There's so much binary code in the sky.
Marco: I can't hide for too long, I must get back. Peace.
[More gunshots can be heard]
The Invasion 1/8/2022 2:04 a.m.
[A bloodthirsty roar can be heard]
Unknown Person: Come on! Shoot everybody! We can do this!
Bradley: Jesus, can't you see I'm shooting?
Unknown Person: Oh god, my arm... [thud]
Bradley: Another man down! Another man down!
Marco: Jesus Christ. Alright, I've ducked behind a gigantic wall. There's this entity that controls this level, I think its name is "Malware" or something. I can't really describe much about it, he's really powerful thou-
[A loud crash noise can be heard, which is presumably Malware slamming into the wall]
The Invasion 1/8/2022 2:59 a.m.
Unknown Person: Everybody attack the entity!
Unknown Person: I'm attacking!
Unknown Person: Wait, what's happening to the floor.
[A long, loud rumble noise can be heard, as if an earthquake was happening]
Marco: Guys! Look at the floor! There's a crack in it!
Unknown Person: Oh my God, there's not just one crack.
Marco: Everybody RUN!
The Invasion 1/8/2022 3:28 a.m.
Unknown Person: Hey, what's happening? Why can't we move?
Unknown Person: I don't know, but it's getting concerning.
Bradley: The entity's getting bigger..
Unknown Person: Oh no, I think we're about to get crushed.

==Entities== 
There's only one entity that resides in The Firewall, which is: 
===Malware=== 
====Description==== 
Malware is a gigantic, powerful entity that resides in The Firewall. It continues to stay there, monitoring The Firewall and it will kill any wanderer who dares to enter this wretched level. He can control just about every part of the level, including the structures and how he kills wanderers. However, the one thing he can't change is the messages on The Wall, as they were not written by him. Malware has no clue who wrote those messages, but he sees these messages as "motivation" for wanderers to leave. Malware has also shown the ability to "corrupt" people using different methods, such as aiming glitches at wanderers, firing a beam at a wanderer's soul, grabbing the wanderer's soul, leaving only a sentient body etc. He can also grow his size, but he usually likes being the same size as the Statue of Liberty from The Frontrooms. When a wanderer enters The Firewall, Malware doesn't just show up and kill him/her, he hides in an unknown place until it's time to strike. Rumors say that he hides in A Crack In Reality, but there's no evidence to support this claim, so this mystery remains unconfirmed. 
====Behavior==== 
Malware has the behavior of a psycho. Once he's ready to kill a wanderer, he acts all crazy and psychotic and he sometimes plays with his victim, making the victim see visions of his family members deceased, controlling his/her body to make him/her move in completely random directions (sometimes he makes the victim dance too). However, sometimes Malware gets too cocky, and leaves itself vulnerable to attack. 
====Biology==== 
Although most people believe that Malware is a person that's been corrupted, as "malware" means corrupting, damaging, or gaining unauthorized access to a system. However, Malware's biology remains unknown for now. 
====Do's and Don't's==== 
=====Do's===== 
*Stay silent
*Leave Malware alone
*Don't enter any structure
*Don't alert Malware 
=====Don't's===== 
*Scream
*Do dumb dances
*Read the messages on The Wall
*Enter a structure
*Alert Malware "Soon, everybody shall know my pain, my suffering, my torture'."- Malware 
==Colonies and Outposts== 
There are no colonies or outposts in The Firewall, as most people who enter it get killed by Malware. 
==Entrances and Exits== 
===Entrances=== 
*Noclip through a secret hole in The Hub
*Survive an entirely corrupted level for 2 days
*Summon the almighty Malware (however, we don't know how to summon it) 
===Exits=== 
*Go through A Crack In Reality to go to a random Class 5 level (unconfirmed)
*Die.
