Armaverse/Chapter 5

==Disclaimer==
Text like this means sarah is saying something in her mind. (Only in this chapter cuz I am a lazy person ;-; )
==Synopsis==
Sarah contemplates about the mysterious writing she found in the book. She then falls through the floor and wakes up in Level 3. After wandering around, she finds a scroll of paper, with more mysterious writing...
Also she encounters a Smiler :)
==Description==
I don't even understand what I am looking at. What could this even be? 
I have never seen anything like this before. 
I then think for a second. Why would something like this exist in a book?
In the middle of contemplating, I fall through the floor again, everything goes black. 
I wake up a few minutes later, and the scenery looks completely different. It looks very, electrical. Kind of like a boiler room in a cruise ship. 
I immediately feel the sudden change in the heat and humidity. It feels like I am in a garage, but even worse. 
I put the book in my pack and stand up. 
Sarah: What the hell is this place? It's so hot!
I start walking around, observing my surroundings. I am starting to get used to my surroundings, and this idea of "different levels." 
I am still very paranoid after my encounter with that, "thing." I keep thinking at any second that something is just going to jump out and attack me.
After a couple minutes, I peek around a corner and see a hallway leading into a bigger room. I enter into that room and I see all these electrical boxes and pipes. In the centre, I see a cart with flash lights, almond water, and some protein bars. I walk to the centre of the room and pick up a flash light, a bottle of almond water, and 2 protein bars. 
I wonder, why is it always almond water and not regular water? 
I then locate a door next to some electrical boxes. I can tell it hasn't been used in a long time because the door looks very rusty. 
I then open it, and I see a long dark hallway. Lucky I found a flash light on the cart back there. 
I turn it on and start walking down the hallway. I am still pretty paranoid, so I am actively looking around me thinking something will attack me.
A couple minutes later, I reach a turn into a similar hallway, and start walking down there.
That is when I start to feel this kind of pit in my stomach. I turn around, and I go pale...
I see a floating white face in the dark a few meters behind me. It is looking at me, just smiling.
That is when it starts to sprint towards me. I immediately start running down the hallway, with the thing a few meters behind me.
What the hell is that thing?! I ask myself while I am running away from that thing. 
Well since it's smiling non-stop, I can just call it a, "Smiler." 
I find another turn, and immediately go down that hallway, sprinting as hard as I can with the Smiler starting to gain a bit of ground on me. 
In the middle of running, I thought to myself, If I keep this up, I will soon enough be fresh meat! 
I look back and the Smiler is gaining traction, while also emanating an unusual growling noise.
That is when I notice a door a hundred feet ahead of me. I will have to close the door on the Smiler, it is my only shot. 
I get through the door. I look back and the Smiler is just about 20 feet away from me. 
I then slam the door shut, praying to god the Smiler wont break through. 
It gets to the door, and is heavily banging on the door, trying to get to me. 
After a couple seconds, the banging dissipates, as the Smiler gives up and disappears. 
I am still breathing heavily from that chase, in fact I am almost out of breath.
"What was that?!" I asked myself. I then sit next to the wall, trying to relax. I take a sip of almond water to calm myself. I also take a bite of a protein bar and a piece of the bread I took from, "Level 1." 
After I calm down, I then pack up my things and begin walking around again. I am in a room similar to the first one, but it seems a little less mechanical. 
After walking down further, I come across a labyrinth of hallways. I am shining my flash light in front of me, making sure I don't bump into anything. I then start walking random directions down the maze-like hallways.
That is when I come across a hallway very different from the others. It looks like the one from Level 1, but more neat and lacking of puddles on the floors. 
I reach the end of the hallway and come across a door. I open it, and I find a dead end room, with another door that looks different from the one I just opened. It looks like a portal, or something. I see a faded 4 on top of the door. Does this mean the door leads to, "level 4"?
The door to the room then closes and locks behind me. At least nothing can get me!
I am about to open the portal-like door when I spot a chest in the centre of the room.
I walk to the chest, and notice it doesn't have one of those keyholes that are normally on every chest. But, why?
I open the chest, and I am kind of shocked by what I see in there. 
I see a belt with pockets, a combat knife, and a lone scroll.
What is the belt for? I wondered when I pick it up. I then pick up the combat knife and figure it out almost immediately. It is for carrying combat tools, like knives.
This is perfect! I can use this to defend myself from those, "Entities." 
Don't get ahead of yourself, I thought. Just because you have a weapon doesn't mean your completely safe against entities.
In the middle of putting the belt on, I begin to question something. 
Why was all this conveniently here. Why did I just happen to find it? 
I thought there had to be a connection, but I just couldn't figure out what.
I finish putting the tool belt on, and then I put the combat knife in one of the pockets, with the handle sticking out. 
I am about to get up when I notice the lone scroll in the chest.. 
I reach down and pick it up. The paper looks old, almost as if this was made a long time ago. 
I open the scroll, and there is more of that mysterious writing on the paper. But this one looks, different. 
I put the scroll in my pack. I then get up and turn to the portal-door to Level 4. 
I then put my hand on the door handle, preparing myself to turn it. 
And then, I open the door, and enter the portal...
