Description
An image of Level 253. Credit to u/Absollute.
Level 253 resembles a multilevel storage complex. Compared to other levels, Level 253 is very tame, with no known entities, colonies, or outposts present on this level. Due to the calm and non-anomalous nature of this level, many Wanderers pass through it with ease. The approximate size of Level 253 is estimated to be around 1 square mile. Since Level 253 is simply a storage complex of substantial size, this makes the level dull in nature. Each storage unit is around 10 square meters, with the floors and walls of this level being made out of a gray concrete. Light fixtures are present on the ceiling at consistent intervals, and these lights have not been reported to fail or flicker.
Backstory
"I was just walking through Level 188, when I entered a window and found myself in a storage complex. To be honest, I wasn't afraid because there were a lot of lights, but it was just so bland. I walked through the door on the other side of the corridor and suddenly I was in another level. I'm not sure what level I'm in right now, but the previous one was pretty easy." Written by Nikola, note left in Level 234, date unknown.
More Information
The content inside each storage unit does not vary much. Each one generally has what someone would expect to put in a storage unit. This does make this level useful, however, because the units may contain items that a Wanderer would need to survive, such as weapons, tools, and canned food. To access these containers, one must simply open its door, as each container is unlocked. There is one known anomalous effect on this level, being that every time one enters Level 253, the content inside the storage units will change. This makes access to specific weapons or tools not guaranteed. There is no internet or cellular connection on this level.
Everytime something is damaged or destroyed in this level, it seems to be repaired the next time someone enters it, so this level is also know by its magical restoring properties. There are some occasions that someone encounters a rare object on this level. There are some listed below:
- A Fat Lever basketball card when he was on the Dallas Mavericks
- A wooden russian pen from at least 60 years ago
- A chemical gas mask
- A golden pinecone
- A plate, dated from the 1790s
It is unknown why these specific objects were in storage.
Colonies and Outposts
