Chapter 11: The Road to the Unknown
Ren advanced through Level 1, As he continued to explore, the system provided him with additional information about the level and possible resources or dangers he might encounter.
_"Level 1 is one of the most stable, but it is not without threats. There are areas where more entities are reported, and others where you might find clusters of survivors or more supplies."_
-"So, are there others like me here?"
_"It's possible. The odds are high that other humans have also fallen into the Backrooms. However, I can't guarantee their status or intentions."_
Ren took note of this information as he continued on his way. Although the loneliness of the Backrooms did not affect him as much as it might have others, the possibility of encountering someone else was intriguing. Would they be allies or competitors in his struggle to survive?
After walking for what seemed like hours, Ren reached a new section of the level. The concrete walls gave way to a more metallic structure, and the atmosphere grew colder. The hum of the lights was softer here, almost imperceptible.
-I" seem to have reached the end of this place," he muttered as he surveyed the area.
Suddenly, he heard something move behind him. Ren turned quickly, however, what appeared before him was not an entity, but a human figure. The disheveled-looking man was watching him from the other end of the hallway, looking wary but intrigued.
-Are you too... trapped here? -asked the man, in a gruff voice.
Ren relaxed his posture a bit, but did not let his guard down.
- "Yes, I've been here for a few days. You?"
The man sighed, slowly approaching. His clothes were worn and his face showed signs of exhaustion.
- "I've been here weeks, maybe longer. I lost track of time a while ago. This place... it changes you."-
Ren watched him closely, looking for any sign of hostility. But the man seemed sincere.
- "Do you know how to get out of here?" -Ren asked, curious about the stranger's experience.
The man shook his head.
- "I don't. I only know that Level 1 is safer than others... but there's always something. Entities, anomalies... No place is completely safe."
Ren nodded, understanding the hopelessness in the man's words. But to him, it just meant he had to keep moving forward.
- "Then I'll keep looking. Maybe there's something beyond this."
The man watched him for a moment before nodding.
- "Good luck, friend. You'll need it."
Ren didn't respond. He simply took a step closer to the unknown.
