Chapter 17 - Chapter 17

We bid farewell to the hellhounds as we hold our antimatter lights and draw a pentagon on the mud and fall into the next level of this shady grey. There is so much I learned like for example, how the shady grey is below the backrooms where things come to rot. And the lower levels are the process something deceased goes through until it is nothing and left to rest on the grave level, where the soul of the backrooms remembers it forever.

They also studied some of our God water and realized it isn't made of anything at all! It's made of nothing but something glowing under a microscope but they can still feel it. This mystery is getting weirder and weirder by the minute! They also noticed when one of the hellhounds drank it they became human or something pure, like a glowing being. They either like the human staying a human or like the glowing melt and fade away into the SHAD3Y GR3Y.

And another thing is that anytime I say SHAD3Y GR3Y it sounds robotic and weird. Maybe it's just me, though... Anyway, we're here at level 1One, which is, yes, what the level is called. Some black and white hotel where the furniture is glitched. And I also see a human that I think touched them because they're stretched everywhere and glitching. Dove looks a little shaken so maybe I should help him too...

"Wow! Level 1: "It looks so amazing!" Kai said, looking around amazed. Looking down makes me realize he's been riding on a bike this entire time. "Hey Kai. I just realized, how are you even moving fast with a bike?" "Oh, this isn't any type of bike! It's named GoodKisser and it can speed up to the levels of a car!" "I see." I then see a shadowy figure approaching. We are in the lobby and it's coming from the front of the doorway.

Then when it's in the lobby, nobody is moving it; it bows its hat—tips the hat for the m'ladies, if you will. "It's nice to have you gentlemen here. Usually people trespass, but it'd be my utmost duty to provide you guys with a room to stay in. I set up a little party and beds. Also, I checked the leaderboard and Tyler, you're first." Everybody looks shocked. 

1. Tyler-1B

2. NEYGB-50M

3. Dove-26M

4. Gabriel-10M

"WHAT? WHAT?" Dove is yelling in the shadow's face. "It's unfortunate but they planned to actually transfer all the points to Tyler because they all bet on him. I felt bad because I can't really do anything out of my level so I'll let you guys get free points, except for Tyler." I looked at him angrily. "What?? Just because I got lucky enough to be good enough to be favored does not mean I shouldn't be allowed to get points! And plus Kai got 10 million. What about that?" The shadow sighed. "Because it's obviously hard to cheat and give you those points. I guess the foundation caught on and they had to stop doing it before they were caught."

I sigh. We are shown our rooms, which look pretty nice. Later, as I'm chilling and using the TV for the first time in a while, I notice the shadow guy is teaching the teachers about things. I slowly sneak out, hoping I don't fall because my horse is outside of the mansion getting tended by the maids. I am so close, but then my legs give in and I fall. The shadow man gets angry and I thought I was a goner for sure but he just throws me in my room, making a dent in the wall and then locking the door.
