Level 138

Level 138 is the 139th level of The Backrooms.
==Description==
Level 138 resembles a Japanese Botanical Garden typically found in the Frontrooms of unknown size with particularly large amounts of Cherry Blossom Trees. Notably, Level 138 appears to have a winterlike setting meaning cold weather and snow. Level 138 has large amounts of plant life which are known to include: aforementioned Cherry Blossoms, various east Asian deciduous trees, evergreen trees, bushes, and grass. Altitude on Level 138 is quite variable with hills, dips, and bumps being present throughout the level. Level 138 also has high amounts of steams, ponds, and lakes. Still bodies of water are likely to be partially or completely frozen. Numerous paths stretch across the level and occasionally pass over water in wooden bridges or boardwalks. Level 138 has several patches of land that do not resemble the normal level. Several known examples include; Dead trees in a grid like formation, patches without paths just trees, and flat planes of snow. These areas usually range in size from 2-30 kilometers2. Level 138 also has sparse towns which are devoid of life and are mostly just disorganized buildings with some supplies. These towns have shops, residential areas, gardens, and occasionally temples. Towns on Level 138 have electricity but only a few have air-conditioning. Level 138 is Euclidean in nature and has no abnormal physical properties.
Deciduous plant life on Level 138 usually is not alive but rather in some form of hibernation similar to that of plants in the real world. Paths on Level 138 have sparse benches, trashcans, and boxes. All of these aforementioned objects may contain or have nearby items. Some of these objects may be usable by wanderers. Objects may also be found along paths and in water, but these are likely to be damaged and or unusable. Towns often contain food, water, and other household objects. Level 138 is somewhat architecturally stable. Many of the paths appear well kept and obviously damaged areas are fenced off. However, some of the wood on bridges and boardwalks has rotted making it unstable. Some of the buildings in towns also are unstable and may collapse or break partially. Abnormal patches of land on Level 138 do not have paths and usually only contain one type of tree. Many of these areas are not dangerous but may disorient wanderers. 
Some patches of snow have footprints from an unknown source, but they appear to be naturally occurring as recordings have demonstrated them glitching into the snow. Level 138 has no day/night cycle and the sky on the level is constantly overcast. Wanderers on the Level have reported that occasional snowfall occurs on the Level. A constant light wind can be felt in most areas of the Level. Several handwritten signs on Level 138 have been spotted which contain Japanese, Korean, and English text. Many of these signs are advertisements or descriptions of locations in the level. Windchimes hang from some of trees on Level 138. 
===Dangers===
Level 138 is an incredibly cold Level. Recorded temperatures average between -15 and -4 degrees Celsius. These temperatures can be fatal to humans and make it impossible to explore in Level 138 without proper winter equipment. Because of the temperature, sleeping may lead to organ failure and death. Bodies of water on the Level are also incredibly cold and may cause muscle fatigue making the risk of drowning even more likely. If a wanderer falls into an iced over part of Level 138, they may be trapped below the Ice with no way of escape. Even if a wanderer manages to escape the water, they will be wet with cold water which could expedite their death. Some of the Bridges and Boardwalks are rotted and might also break if stepped on. The buildings on the level do not provide heat as they lack air-conditioning. The floors of the building may also break in some cases. If enough damage is sustained by a building it is likely to collapse. 
==Entities==
Level 138 is devoid of entities with the only known forms of life being flora and humans. It is likely that any living entity that did noclip into the level would likely succumb to the cold and die.
==Colonies and Outposts==
Level 138 has had a few outposts in its history. Many of these outposts have succumbed to the cold, lack of resources, or just moved to a more habitable level. Current Outposts include: 
====Frostbite Lodge====
*Owner: Backrooms Colonists
*Population: 11
*Architecture: Located in one of the towns in one of the few buildings with air conditioning. The building has been renovated and is structurally sound.
*Alignment: Friendly, willing to trade and take in new members. 
==Entrances and Exits==
===Entrances=== 
*Finding and noclipping through a Cherry Blossom tree on Level 45
*Finding an area of Level 58 where the air is significantly colder.
*Noclipping into a tree with a flower scratched into the bark on Level 110
*Noclipping into shrines found in Level 613
*Finding a travel booklet for Japan on Level 873
===Exits=== 
*Locating a floor hatch in Level 138 leads to Level 35
*Locating a door, likely in a town, with a sign saying: "Welcome to Tokyo" will take you to Level 72
*Noclipping through a tree with fairy lights on it will lead you to Level 125
*Diving into a frozen lake with a strange light under it will lead to Level 202
==Survival and Escape Guide==
If a wanderer finds themselves on Level 138, the best course of action is to locate the proper equipment. This equipment can likely be found in the stores of one of the Towns. Once proper equipment is acquired or if entering the level with it, a wanderer should as quickly as possible either locate an exit or one of the few airconditioned buildings. If an airconditioned building is found, the wanderer can return to the direction of finding an exit while using the airconditioned building as a homebase. Once an exit is found, unless a wanderer wishes to remain on the level, it is strongly recommended to immediately leave the Level. Article Version: 28 (December 2024) </div>
