The End

**The End** is an enigmatic and mysterious level of the Backrooms, known for luring the wanderers into a feeling that they have finally escaped the Backrooms.

## Description

*An image of **The End**, with a sign reading "THE END" and a terminal.*
**The End** is a trap level resembling a limitless Borders bookstore, yet with no items on the shelves at all. The signs saying "THE END", "THE END is NEaR", are randomly placed on the ceiling, while the unorthodox sale posters give this place a slight feeling of dread. The wooden bookshelves form strange mazes that often lead nowhere or loop around themselves. The ehchoy rooms of the store are sometimes interrupted by labyrinths of maintenance corridors that often lead back to the storerooms. The level itself is completely absent of any sort of sound, with the only exception being the quiet buzz of terminals randomly placed on the tables. These terminals can be interacted with, yet they mostly show 90s and 2000s hardware (Windows 95, Windows Vista, etc.), with modern ones almost never present. These terminals usually don't require any passwords, yet they contain a variety of apps. The apps found are as follows:

* Command Console;
* MS Paint;
* Notebook;
	+ All drafts contain nothing but random shuffles of symbols.
* Google Chrome;
	+ There's no account; one will always enter it as a quest.

The interesting thing is that these terminals are the only devices within the level with access to the internet. All other devices brought into the level won't have an internet connection. All the apps, except Command Console, are working as they normally would. Yet typing something into the console will have different effects. The main command used to escape the level is "/execute". It is known to have the property to teleport one to the other Backrooms' levels. Most commands just open usual files without any anomalous properties, yet running 44escape20f4r.exe or reallifesoha.exe will lead to the Fake Reality.
The Fake Reality mostly resembles the Frontrooms, yet it's known to corrupt and distort based on how many time one stays in the Fake Reality. It is known that staying for too long will lead to Level 0, back to the beginning.
It is also known that lights in **The End** may turn off for undetermined periods of time. One may hear whispers and other audible hallucinations during this period.

## Entities

**The End** is entirely devoid of any life, including other wanderers.

## Discovery

The level was discovered somewhere in 2003, when an anonymous wanderer posted about the discovery of this level, which he named "Level 3" because he accessed **The End** from Level 2. After further discoveries, it has been found that this level is anomalous, and it was given a separate spot within the enigmatic levels.

## Thresholds

### Entrances

* When one is entirely sure that the exit from the Backrooms is near, they may start to experience the anomaly, in which the door with the neon green "EXIT" sign will manifest. Entering this door will lead to **The End**.

### Exits

* There are no confirmed exits from **The End**, yet it is assumed that staying in the Fake Reality for too long will lead out to Level 0. So far, most of the people who ventured into **The End** have disappeared without leaving any traces.
