The Great Beyond

"Hello, intrepid wanderer.
 
As you may have noticed by now, you have been teleported to an unknown level.
 
To put it simply, this is my home, and it'll be yours too.
 
You are now trapped forever. The only way out is by breaking the fourth wall, but you don't want to do that. 
I hope you enjoy this relaxing place of calm and peace.
 
Good luck." 
 
 
==Description==
 
The only known image recovered of The Great Beyond.
 The Great Beyond is deemed one of the most unknown levels ever known, only known by 5 people, one of whom died in the process of investigating the level. After many reports, we concluded that the level acts like a generator or stabiliser; it transports life into the Backrooms, while also keeping them stable. If the level were to disappear, the Backrooms would've fallen apart into pieces, causing lots of havoc. The Great Beyond exists outside the walls of the Backrooms, however, it is still considered a Backrooms level since you can still access it through the Backrooms. After deep consideration, we have decided that The Great Beyond is a Boundary (a clue to finding a secret meaning in the Normalverse). 
The Great Beyond has a very strange appearance. It is somewhat similar to The Void, but there is an actual floor. Nobody knows whether it is endless or not, as everything is covered with "Calamity", a chemical that emits a glowing white aura, blocking your vision so that you cannot see anything. An unsettling humming noise can also be heard throughout the level, possibly causing a bit of annoyance. Once you enter the level, you will be greeted by a cool breeze, causing you to feel calm and relaxed. You may have mixed feelings about this level, some say that the level is similar to The End, trying to trick you into thinking everything is okay, but some say that the level is similar to The Promised Land, filled with peace and delight.
The Great Beyond has an extremely cold temperature, with the lowest temperature ever recorded being -88 degrees Celsius. The level has no day-night routine, and there are no exits to this level except for breaking the 4th wall. However, there are some theorized entrances. Only one person can enter The Great Beyond at a time, and their items will disappear once they do.
There are many scenarios that can appear when exploring the depths of The Great Beyond, which are labelled as "Incidents" for example:
===The Flickering===
The Flickering is an incident that can commonly appear once you've explored the level for about an hour. The glow coming from the "Calamity" will seemingly start to flicker. The white walls will start to turn black and the humming noise will slowly start to morph into blood-thirsty screams. A blood-like red liquid will start to ooze from the walls, causing you to have hallucinations and panic attacks that could eventually lead to insanity or even death. If you end up surviving The Flickering, all your symptoms will mysteriously vanish, as if you just drank a lot of Almond Water.
===The Voices===
The Voices is an incident that can rarely appear. It can only appear once you've experienced The Flickering. The humming noises that can be heard throughout the level will slowly turn into muttering noises. If you hear closely, the voices appear to be muttering "You're going to die" over and over on repeat. The muttering noises will slowly become familiar to you; the noises will take the sound of your friends or family members, maybe even yourself, and they'll continue for approximately ten minutes. For every minute, the noise will get louder and louder, possibly breaking your eardrums. If you have good hearing, you might hear a mysterious voice laughing menacingly behind all the voices.
===The Closing===
The Closing is an incident that can appear if you have survived the level for a day. The walls of The Great Beyond will start to close in, squishing your body and possibly breaking your bones. Once you've shed a bit of blood, the walls will go back to their original position. However, the roof will start to lower down, and eventually crush you to death. There are no discovered ways to survive The Closing as of now.
===The Afterlife===
The Afterlife is an incident that can only be accessible if you've died whilst encountering The Closing. Once you've died, you'll reappear as an empty soul, you won't have feelings or any of your senses. You will just be a soul floating in an endless abyss. Whilst floating around, you may see other souls floating as well. A soul's appearance can vary, some souls take the appearance of their human body, however much more pale and transparent. Some souls are little transparent orbs that can fly around. These orbs have a black outline to them.
 
This level was one of the strangest ones I have encountered, its appearance taking me by surprise. It hurts my eyes as it was completely covered in white, a bit like Level 12, and there was a weird humming noise coming from the walls. Although the level was exceptionally weird, maybe even a bit dangerous, it was very calm. It made me feel relaxed, it felt like home.
I continued to explore the level, in hopes of discovering something new, but I found nothing. It was still the same empty level as before. Soon, my legs were starting to hurt. Just when I was going to lie down, the once-white walls started "flickering". It kept changing color, from white to black, from black to white. I was horrified. "Is something going to attack me?" I thought to myself. A red substance started oozing from the walls of the level, causing me to have a panic attack, in which I collapsed.
I finally woke up, yet I was so exhausted that I almost dozed off again. I remembered my mission: to explore more of the level, so I walked slowly, examining my surroundings carefully. But as time went on, I soon got bored. It was clear that the level was endless. I started to sleep-walk my way through the level when suddenly, I heard strange voices. I decided to ignore it, but then a few minutes later, the voices sounded much more familiar to me, it mimicked the voices of my family and friends. The voices kept talking to me, repeating this one sentence over and over again: "You are going to die.". But I heard something behind all the other voices, it sounded like something was laughing from behind. I think it was just me being paranoid, as the voices were driving me on edge.
A day quickly passed by without me realizing it, as I was drowsy throughout most of my journey. Then suddenly, the walls started to move closer, and closer to me. It was crushing me to death, and after a short while, I started to cough up blood. That's when the walls started to go back to their original position, but something about the roof was a little off. That's when it completely fell, killing me, and all I could see was black.
I finally opened my eyes an hour later. I thought I had just cheated death, but then I touched my body, I couldn't feel it. I was now a ghost. I could see other ghosts floating around mindlessly, but somehow, I could think and feel emotions. Since I was a ghost, I realized that I was transparent, which meant I could see what was beyond the walls. But as I walked through, I saw nothing else but a bind of purple light, and I was whisked away onto a whole new Boundary...
 
==Entities== 
There has been only one discovered entity in The Great Beyond: 
===Souls===
Souls can only be found once you have become a soul yourself. Souls vary in appearance, some take the appearance of a transparent human body, whilst others take the appearance of a floating glowing white orb. The rarest appearance, however, is souls which take the appearance of a floating shadow, which can be found in one in a thousand souls. Souls don't have any emotions or a mindset of their own, so they just float around aimlessly. Souls are not hostile in any way, so you can safely interact with them. But rumors say there is another being inside...
