Level 153

**Survival Difficulty: Class 5**
**》Unsafe**
**》Unstable**
**》Environmental Hazards**
**Level 153** is the 154th level of the Backrooms.

## > Description:

**Level 153** is similar to Level 4, being an expansive, labyrinthine office building of indeterminate size; in fact, **Level 153** is quite the opposite of Level 4. The architecture of **Level 153** consists of orange-ish carpets, grayish walls, and a ceiling decorated with fluorescent lights, similarly to Level 0. **Level 153**’s technology appears to be that of The End’s technology, sparking a theory that **Level 153** and The End are linked in some way.

Present intermittently throughout the level are work desks, vintage computer terminals, chairs, and other furnishings expected in an office-like environment. Distinctively from other levels, the aforementioned computer terminals allow for communication in other levels, including baseline reality, through messaging services such as AIM and Skype; for this reason, bases and outposts usually form near or around these devices.

**Level 153** is a highly dangerous level due to the fires that engulf the level. At first, these fires were rare. However, they had ended up spreading to the entirety of **Level 153**. Their exact cause is unknown due to their unpredictability, but it is known that they often originate from an initial, sizeable combustion and thereafter spread throughout the nearby area in a disorderly path.

## > The Library of Time:

The level contains bookshelves with chronologically ordered manuscripts, M.E.G. documents, personal diaries, and journals left by wanderers. Some texts date back to prehistoric times, depicting lost cities, sunken continents, and humanoid beings landing on a planet presumed to be Earth. Some journals and diaries serve as guides, similarly to The Manila Room, and contain useful advice for surviving the Backrooms. However, most books are very long and contain a mysterious, undeciphered language. One of these books is coverless and is rumored to possess the deep secrets of the universe and the Backrooms, such as the creator of the Backrooms. On the 62nd page, there is an intricate mandala, with a bright star in the center made from an unknown substance.

## > Bases, Outposts & Communities:

### >> The Republic of Level 153:

* One of the bigger groups within the Backrooms.
* The main base, located on **Level 153** itself, consists of 153 members.
* Located in a specific room which is immune to fire.
* Friendly, and are willing to trade.
* Have set up outposts in various other levels of the Backrooms.

## > Entrances & Exits:

### >> Entrances:

The easiest way to enter **Level 153** is by writing down the words “Take Me To Work!” on a piece of paper.

* The End:
	+ Plugging in an unplugged computer in The End will result in you being sucked into the computer, and being thrown into **Level 153**.
* Level 0:
	+ Sometimes, one can find an elevator within Level 0. All of the buttons in this elevator will say “153”, and pressing a button will result in you entering **Level 153**.
* Level 4:
	+ Going down long staircases with varying lengths in Level 4 may lead to **Level 153**, instead of the lower floors of Level 4.
* Level 8:
	+ Sometimes, when you get no-clipped through Level 8’s ground, you will be sent to **Level 153** instead of Level 9.
* Level 11:
	+ No-clipping through the ground of Level 11 has a low chance of causing you to fall into **Level 153**.

### >> Exits:

* Level 500:
	+ Entering a door labeled “500” will send wanderers directly to Level 500.
* Level 4:
	+ Sometimes, sitting in an office chair may result in you being sucked into the chair, and falling into Level 4.
