Level 324

==Description==
Level 324 is composed of three sections: a central hub, transitional points, and regions. It has been reported that this level can evoke melancholic and nostalgic feelings in individuals, often leading to the disbanding of wanderer groups due to these emotional impacts. For this reason, it is recommended to remain within the central hub.
The size of Level 324 is mysteriously proportional to an individual's level of experience, making the level inherently unstable. Some areas within this level are also known to be unsafe. Theoretically, the number of regions could extend infinitely, although it remains uncertain if these regions are still connected to reality. Estimates suggest an average of approximately 84 million possible regions per wanderer. Additionally, these regions are believed to host various living entities, suggesting a high population density. However, it is unclear if these entities are sentient or even real.
====Central Hub====
The Central Hub consists of a room with a floor and ceiling area of 900 square meters, and walls painted to a height of 5 meters. This room is known as the entry point for those arriving in Level 324. The interior is cluttered, filled with numerous cables and items, but contains no objects brought from outside except for clean clothes, food supplies, and boxes of folded mats delivered by M.E.G. every nine months. The hub is divided into three smaller rooms and one corridor: a bathroom, a dormitory, and a kitchen. The corridor is of the same size as the other rooms and contains a door with an exit sign above it. This door leads from the central hub to the transitional points and, in some cases, to the regions. The door is known to lock for 2 to 3 hours after each use, making the hub the safest known location in the level. Additionally, the hub has an uninterrupted supply of natural gas and electricity for unknown reasons.
====Transitional Points====
Transitional Points are considered the most prevalent areas in Level 324. They are distinguished from regions by being smaller, safer, and generally simpler. These areas include staircases, pathways, and corridors. Despite their appearance as transitional spaces, their entry and exit points do not resemble the preceding or following regions, making them distinct entities.
Primarily serving as routes between regions, transitional points sometimes provide access to the central hub, though this is rare. These areas, like the central hub, have an uninterrupted supply of natural gas and electricity. However, any items found within these spaces are typically remnants left by other wanderers.
====Regions====
Regions are appear to have the ability to manipulate and realize an individual's memories. These areas are highly personalized experiences, making detailed description difficult. However, inferences can be drawn from available reports.
==Reports==
There are some reports for the level.
===Report 1===
"Connection terminated, I don't know how much longer I can endure. I'm no longer wanted here, and there's no way back. I'm not sure what to do; the helplessness of the situation drives me to two extremes: either I do as it says or I end this. However, it's impossible that I was brought here for some prize or loot. It's behind this, it thinks of itself as the most advanced leader, yet we both know it's a narcissist. I don't even believe it has a connection with me anymore; it has evolved far beyond that point. I should have never allowed this, it's my fault. I must stop losing my sanity by trying to survive on these damned stairs or in these minimalist strange labyrinths and make a choice: either I accept that I've gone too deep and fight my way back to the surface, or I continue to delve deeper. Desperate traveler who found this, if you found this in the 47F stairway, I am trying to reach the surface. If you found this at the door leading to the basement of the trauma center of Levels 6, 7, or 8, I am going deeper. I wish you luck on this manipulative level; I hope you wish the same for me."
===Report 2===
"As the Plan 324A group, things didn't go as we thought. We assumed we'd experience the same events as the travelers who came here before. Please inform the Plan 324B group, who are with the Residents of The Waterfalls on Level 300, and please, please tell them not to enter the regions as a group and to set up their camps at the Transitional Points. If necessary, some of them should stay at the Central Hub. Please, I am fulfilling my final duty as a group member and waiting for the right time to close the door at the terminal in the region. Please save our last group members who come out of the door, whether they are human or have only a shred of humanity left. The commander has lost his life, and whatever rank I hold now, I will find a way to transmit this report to you as data. I think I will die too..."
After this part of the report, member 23 was recorded as missing and was never found again. There is a theory about the nature of the experience based on the data obtained from the last six remaining members, which is not recommended for individuals outside of authorized personnel.
Explanation: If these procedures are followed, know that you should say goodbye to any good times you might have in the level until the procedure is deactivated again. These procedures include: the presence of multiple conscious individuals and numerous entities, the discovery of an object or objects not recorded in the region's terminal database, damaging the terminal (strongly discouraged), excessive interaction with It (this includes both verbal and physical interaction), and willing no-clip (strongly discouraged). When these procedures are followed, the level starts to break down and deteriorate, which can occur at any scale. In some cases, it is hypothesized that the breakdown could manifest as variations of our own reality. The extent of the deterioration can fall into any Class and pose a threat to the items within it. However, the fact that the Central Hub has not been affected by any of the deteriorations so far raises suspicion among the personnel that the Central Hub might be a sub-level or a level on its own, though there is insufficient evidence to support this. These deteriorations are known to cause items to change shape, disintegrate, transform, alter their energy values, and other effects. Additionally, high-energy emissions often occur during these deteriorations (it is recommended to use Potassium iodide for this situation). To exit deteriorating regions, it is advised to stay calm and avoid everything except the ground, and to search for emergency exits or transition doors."
===Report 3===
"I noticed that the level's page plan states there are no fixed entities, and as someone who has researched this level from the Central Hub, I can say that this is nonsense. I know the entity referred to as It is confusing, but I am certain this is because it has hidden itself within human consciousness and the dynamics of the level. I believe It is a manifestation of human consciousness in tangible form, but there could be other reasons. Since I am aware that It sees itself as a god, I strongly believe it was created for complex purposes. So far, observations have shown that It communicates with the entities within the level or at least tries to. Although my theory seems to align with the idea that this entity can either alter the level or possesses knowledge about all possible occurrences within the level, there is still a slight possibility that It is some kind of artificial intelligence governing the level dynamics."
==Entities==
Entities in Level 324 are known to form within these regions at an unknown rate.
==Colonies and Outposts==
Due to the nature of the level's structure, no outpost can be established.
==Entrances and Exits==
===Entrances===
*Using the emergency exit at Level 323 will take to here.
*Interacting with the signboard on 4th alternative event line on Level 496 leads to here.
*Breaking a window in one of the rooms at Level 964 has a chance to lead here.
*You can't turn back now...
===Exits===
*It is known that losing one's sanity in this level results in being transported to Level 963.
*Reaching the depths leads to Level 325.
*Performing no-clip in the level sends you to Level 503.
*You might be able to persuade it?
*You gave up...
