Level -15

Level -15 is the 15th negative level of the Backrooms.
==Description==
Level -15, habitually referenced as "Unascertained Liminality," is an amalgamation of a multitude of hotel corridors invariably linking together in T-shaped junctions. The elongation of these corridors inexplicably varies drastically, with some halls recorded spanning as minuscule as three meters, while other corridors documented expand for much more than a kilometer. Beyond most corridors lie hotel rooms accessible through enumerated doors, the latter always quantified at two per hotel room; therefore, two doors are immutably designated to the equivalent number.
Furnishings lying inside of hotel rooms are usually angular and their quantity is typically diminutive; the only furniture always present comprises cubic, twin-sized beds, two cupboards left and right of the bed, and a stochastic quantity of drawers, commodes, cabinets, and carpets. Additional adornments seem to likewise orient themselves to a universal pattern of the decor being angular and vintage; most rooms feature analog clocks hung atop the bed, sheets of vacant paper, unused notebooks, decrepit, archaic books, and literary works, rotten and decaying food or drinks, and withered potted flowers. Additionally, a welcome rug is consistently placed right behind the door on the inside of the room, reading different phrases. Beneath these mats uniformly lies a key to unlock the door assigned to the room the key is in, put there presumably for utilization during emergency cases.
The walls disuniting the hotel rooms from the hallways are papered with a wallpaper that seems obsolete, partially assigned to the nineteenth century altogether. The furniture present throughout the hallways of Level -15 exudes obsolescence as well; its geometry appears complex, wherefore the adornments seem handmade and not artificially produced. Moreover, they are majorly built from wood as their main component, with metal scarcely used for knobs, and synthetic material being omitted entirely. Additional decor exhibits mirroring properties, with dissimilarities present only in the choice of material, abiding at more diverse contingencies.
Most of Level -15 is engulfed into uncanny dimness, incited through the abject lack of windows or the like. Arbitrary spots deviate, featuring one of two different alterations: an arrant devoidness of lights altogether, or an abnormal abundance of lights. The lamps used for Level -15 are invariably incandescent bulbs, fixed to the walls through metal constructs abiding bottommost of a protection layer made from translucent glass. They usually appear in stable and fathomable intervals, unless broken by the preceding, contradistinct corridors deviating in terms of light quantity and thereby the light source quantity in addition.
Level -15 shows notable features of nonsensical geometry, mostly in that sets of rooms, hallways, and numbered doors recurringly repeat without patterns or perceptible initiation. Accordingly, accounts commonly retell wandering through an infinite tangle of corridors, albeit researchers reckon with the level being of substandard size; the latter hypothesis may lightly be proven by soundly perusing ample assessments of the enumerations doors bearCurrently, the highest ever recorded number sits at 559, although many relate seeing numbers above that, some averring to have seen a scalar of over a thousand.. Regardless, spatial measurements of Level -15, both by area as well as by volume, have proven to be inaccurate and useless.
Adding upon the enacted non-Euclidean geometry, frequent, seamless manipulations of the architecture and structuring of Level -15 take place. They usually follow a sudden action or state of unconsciousness, indicating that said amendations happen in fractions of fractions of seconds; so fast that they become unnoticeable even if precisely staring at the corridor specified to change. Addedly, exuded noise during such an alteration is nullified, leading to the event being noticeable only through the dust, caught in the slits between the hallways, being ejected into the air. A modification of the layout of the corridor network of Level -15 can be exhibited either through a room transposing with another, changing the number of the doors juxtaposed, or through an excerpt of a hallway rotating, or likewise transposing with another. If, for the latter, a rotation should transpire, any furniture will suddenly fall from the ceiling, although said furniture will immediately face upward once fallen to the ground.
Unlike universal and general hotel structures, Level -15 does not possess diverse types of rooms; it is limited to exclusive hallways and hotel rooms. Additionally, the edifice of Level -15 does not extend upward, accounting for a lack of floors and staircases. Regardless, it appears as though one ascends continually with every step one takes, commenced not solely due to the lack of Euclidean geometry but also an added, virtual tilt of Level -15; this aberrant property was reported to cause mellow sickness in the long term.
An impediment to meeting other individuals on Level -15 is violently enforced; heretofore, no group entering Level -15 has found back together. The way of enforcement is presumptively done by reproducing itself and distributing every new visitor across these copies. After a reproduction becomes redundant due to the quality of unusedness, it will anticipatedly be dissolved and perhaps remerged into its source or congregated with another copy of Level -15. If neither of the two applies, the contents will likely be swallowed and expunged by the Void or another, similar establishment.
Electronic gadgets or devices referring to means of communication or information gathering are promptly shut down, causing these devices to become unserviceable. Moreover, this shutdown is permanent, resulting in electronics being un utilizable whenceforth they are transported into Level -15. Other means of electronics unable to provide any one of the use cases aforementioned are unaffected by an eternal shutdown, albeit majorly have problems displaying their contents properly or at all. These problems usually cease after exiting Level -15.
Oddly, and reasonably contrarily to its properties, Level -15 decisively holds a border, after which any corridor abruptly stops and ceases to conjoin with another corridor entirely. Visually, these frontiers share the conscientious properties of any ordinary, disjointed corridor, differing only since they don't hold doors or adjacent corridors. Regardless, specific walls belonging to the congregation of walls forming these confines seem to be unadorned, emptied from anything including decoration appendices. The set point of these confines remains fully indeterminate whereas an estimate cannot be supplied either; the non-Euclidean properties of Level -15 restrain and hinder exact measurements in their totality.
Albeit most qualities indicate a protracted and acute vacancy of Level -15, its visible space maintains cleanliness to the nanometer of it. Heretofore, no sample of violent or potently multiplying mold was ever acquired, despite the innumerable visitors Level -15 endured ever after the commencement of its existence. The inversely insensibleMostly invisible. space, contents, or qualities show counteracting signs of obsolescence and aggravating rancidness, although most are negligible from a human's perspective unless causing irritation to senses or other bodily structures.
==Anomalies==
===Anomaly -15-1===
Anomaly -15-1, formally contrarily known as Anomaly -15-A or colloquially termed "Cessation," is an anomaly affecting the display of anything relating to time, temporality, or occurrences; it ceaselessly starts upon ingressing into Level -15 and will transmute the "current time" to exactly midnight0:00, 24:00.. Inversely to what most anticipate, this anomaly affects any object displaying time, even physical constructs or components of such, like clockworks or analog clocks. Unaffected is merely the indicator for seconds passed, replacing a functional chronometer with simply seconds to keep track of.
The means of agitating the anomaly is majorly unascertained, as digital pieces of altered material cannot be assessed to where their halt becomes justified with a reason; clockwork mechanisms, however, immediately spin backward upon being conveyed to Level -15 until reaching their point of commence, all happening in seconds at most. Visibly, the same procedure is applied to analog clocks and other chronometers sharing similarities with generic clockworks; regardless, neither the means of initiation nor the initiator for the spin backward could be determined hitherto.
===Anomaly -15-2===
Anomaly -15-2, otherwise formally referred to as Anomaly -15-B or informally denoted as "Transportation/Repetition Anomaly," is an effect actuatable semi-deliberate. The anomaly causes the transposition of an object placed on the level with another object, regardless of attributes like sentiency or mass; the only traits important are the size of the surface area and thereby the volume, since the fundamentReferring to walls, ground, doors, and furnishings. of Level -15 should be immobilized invariably. Accordingly, only objects of diminutive and negligible size are acutely affected by Anomaly -15-2, although the potency of the effect may periodically change to affect a broader cluster of objects altogether; from present measurements, it is determined that humans are influenced only during more potent iterations of the anomaly.
Likewise to Anomaly -15-1, the means of actuating and the direct actuator of the event are both unscrutinized and indeterminate. Dissimilarly from it, the effect starts intermittently, leaving more practical space for the determination of the inciter of the anomaly. In addition, the event can be triggered advertent in certain scenarios or at certain sites of Level -15, wherefore partially, one can be designated as the inciter of the event. Ways to execute a commence of the anomaly remain unclear, hence wherefore it is averred that the event will become fathomable during solely the stay on Level -15.
===Anomaly -15-3===
Anomaly -15-3, Anomaly -15-C, colloquially known as a "Liminster," is an entity anomaly exhibiting truculent and malevolent behavior toward verifiable humans, although conceivably other creatures in addition. The creature representing the anomaly is a shadowy, pitch-black ellipsoid with ten tentacle-like adjuncts sprouting from the upper ellipsoid; these tentacles ostensibly adhere to walls and ground, partly even the ceiling. The anomaly shifts its physical form elsewhere gradually by detaching a tentacle from its fixed point and moving it forward, and repeating that until its longed-for position is reached in its totality.
An enigmatic attribute the entity features is its seeming absurdity: upon running into the manifestation, one will simply stumble through the entity altogether, whilst an entity attack doesn't feature such properties; a falling tentacle will be solid immutably. Their steps are always noiseless and therefore imperceptible, despite their actuating alterations to the environmentWallpaper is ripped off after the entity disjoins its tentacles, and the ground shakes upon the entity moving forward.. The anomaly has lately been a subject of thorough research, as many scientists and enthusiasts are awed at the phenomenon's properties and potency.
For Anomaly -15-3 to appear, a sole condition of a set of such must be fulfilled; if none is, the anomaly will cease to exist anywhere on Level -15. Alas, no determinate quantity of conditions was finalized to be divulged, wherefore the following list features only verifiable necessities for the appearance of Anomaly -15-3. 
*Obliviating the extancy of Anomaly -15-3This condition is omitted if one isn't aware of the existence of the anomaly..
*Focusing solely on leaving Level -15.
*Being unable to use Anomaly -15-2 deliberately.
* Arriving at a dead end.
===Anomaly -15-5 ===
Anomaly -15-5, formally Anomaly -15-E and colloquially "Interspersion," is a phenomenon directly impacting select, diverse iterations of Level -15 edified for dissimilar individuals. The consequence of it occurring is an injection of an aleatory objectNot a sentient being, as that would defy the purpose of distinct instances of Level -15., present in one instance of Level -15, into another instance of it. After the anomaly is consummated, the original object will be placed on the topographically equivalent spot to where its source is on its iteration; the source object remains extant wholly, with no potent changes, alterations, or damages being conducted.
The method by which an object is inserted into a dissimilar instance of Level -15 remains inconclusive, and not much was examined from sources and performed tests overall. Researchers hypothesize that the object is initially interspersed into the source version of Level -15, whenceforth it will be displaced onto another copy of Level -15 someway. Another more conspiratorial theory reckons with "higher powers," concretely an entity to be accountable for copying and repositioning the object elsewhere.
==Entrances and Exits==
===Entrances===
*At random, usually relating to casualties;
* Abnormally surpassing the fundament of hotel-like levels, primarily Level 5;
*A square hole on Level -181;
* Accidental actions executed on Level 15;
*Ascending utilizing a specific, aged stairway on Level -16.
===Exits===
*"Passing" through the borderNot referring to no-clipping; people who took this exit aren't able to ideate an apt description. of Level -15 solely at designated points, leading to Level 0;
*No-clipping through certain rooms, leading to Level -14.
====Anomaly -15-4====
Anomaly -15-4 is charted in the exits section as it is solely used for departure from Level -15, and doesn't serve an additional aim. Likewise to Anomaly -15-3, Anomaly -15-4 is an entity anomaly whose physical form is that of an obsolete elevator. Locating it is an effortful subjective, even if the elevator is uniformly inset into the northerly border with its entry doors unalterably carrying a number plate exhibiting the number 81.
Ingressing into the elevator is typically done by pressing the "˅" symbol and waiting for the elevator to redistribute itself to the intended position; the doors will unseal upon the anomaly having fully descended. Within the elevator, two buttons are found: E for eject, violently evicting anybody inside, and T for transport, leading onto another, aleatorily determined level.
A common assumption drawn respecting the microscopic quantity of even virtual encounters with Anomaly -15-4 is that the anomaly is nonextant on most instances of Level -15 altogether, or a blatant deception, whether intentional or not. Hitherto, no case of Anomaly -15-4 was ever recorded for publicity, and no apt personnel has yet made an encounter with the anomaly. In addition, the reports concerning Anomaly -15-4 all seemed suspicious in that they were insufficient in elaboration, and were authored dubiously; some contradicted themselves or another report.
