## Description

Level 29, also known as, the "Class of Melancholy" is the 30th level of The Schoolrooms. Level 29 is a highly challenging and hazardous environment within The Schoolrooms. Upon entering Level 29, one is immediately confronted with a disconcerting distortion that permeates the classroom. The room's dimensions continuously bend and warp, defying conventional spatial perceptions. Walls contort into nightmarish shapes, while the ceiling ominously hangs low, posing a constant threat of collapse. It is crucial to navigate this ever-changing environment with caution to ensure safe passage.

The floor itself presents a significant obstacle as it gradually melts, transforming into a treacherous, viscous substance. This molten terrain hampers movement, making it increasingly difficult to navigate swiftly. Maintaining balance and deliberate foot placement are essential to prevent being engulfed by the deteriorating floor.

This Level has been the subject of speculation for a while, as officials were trying to decide if the Class of Melancholy was a level itself, or just a room inside of another level. After extensive and deadly research, officials came to the conclusion that it is indeed a level in and of itself. Many researchers lost their lives trying to explore Level 29 and the strange, sentient entities within. These entities are exclusive to Level 29 and are unable to leave unless they have possession of a human body, I.E, a wanderer.

The cause of the entities and the strange anomalous properties of the level itself is the cause of a fire that mysteriously broke out inside of the classroom and trapped all of the students and their teacher inside, where they burned to death. Wanderers can hear their screams and cries as they get close to Level 29, but it is highly recommended to ignore it and not to open the door and enter the level. The fire that killed the students seems to enjoy reigniting at random moments, usually frequently, and will burn for at least an hour.

No wanderer locked inside of Level 29 survived when the fire began to flare once again. Oddly enough, wanderers spirits don't get trapped inside of the classroom if they die inside. At least, one has never been seen. The only Spectres witnessed are the spirits of the students and their teacher.

## Entities

"**Spectres**" are the only entity present within Level 29. **Spectres** are transparent, sentient spirits that haunt a certain level within the Schoolrooms. Most people compare them to ghosts from Reality. These entities are NOT friendly and will try to harm or possess wanderers that step into their main domain, **Level 29**.

They are the spirits of students and a teacher that were unfortunately trapped inside of the classroom when a fire broke out, which resulted in all of them burning to death. With their spirits angry and unable to move on, they wait to release their pain on innocent and unsuspecting wanderers.

It is thought that these students and their teacher are from Reality and were trying to make the most of their bad situation by focusing on their studies and work. Sensing that these **Spectres** might be in some kind of pain, a few wanderers have attempted to help them and set them free, but were unable to do.

These wanderers were either left unharmed, or if they angered the **Spectre**, possessed. Possessed wanderers have gone missing and there has been no trace of them since they left **Level 29**. **Spectres** are unable to leave the classroom unless they are in possession of a human body. Since these individuals have gone missing, it is unknown what possessed wanderer's appearances are, though it is suspected that these wanderers have white or black eyes and behave extremely unpredictably and unlike themselves.

If anyone encounters a wanderer that they suspect may be possessed, they are urged to contact the proper personnel within the Schoolrooms as soon as possible with the location of the suspected individual. Wanderers are not advised to get too close or try to subdue any wanderer that's suspected of being possessed by a **Spectre**.

## Communities and Outposts

Due to the entities present and the nature of the classroom itself, no colonies or outposts can be established. The wanderer that discovered **Level 29** frequently revisits the classroom, but he doesn't stay.

## Entrances and Exits

### Entrances

* The only entrance into Level 29 is by wanderers hearing the screams and cries from the **Spectres** inside and opening the door. The location of this classroom moves around, but stays on the same floor at all times.

### Exits

* The only exit from Level 29 is by exiting the same door you entered through. If the **Spectres** have become angry and locked it, there is no other way out.
