““As I stand on the roof of a house I found, I take time to recollect and reflect on all those times I could’ve met my end. Just to become forgotten, no one knowing the struggles I went through. But I’ve come this far, to be met by yet another surreal landscape. Oddly, I felt accomplished, as if I had explored the entire world and lived to tell the tale. All the strange, once-in-a-lifetime, and crazy things I’ve seen. All the people I’ve lost, all the times their sacrifices could’ve been in vain. Just for me to be here. To anyone who sees this, I hope you feel the same and know how far you’ve come.”

Overview[]
Level 984, often referred to as "Winds of Accomplishment," consists of a vast, hilly plain covered in artificial turf, occasionally interrupted by deep bodies of an unknown substance. The climate in this level remains constant, marked by a blue, clear sky with few clouds and strong winds that continually batter the area. The atmosphere has a uniquely calming quality, which, along with other anomalies, differentiates Level 984 from other safer levels.
The winds in Level 984 are quite strong, with speeds estimated at around 30 miles per hour. Occasionally, the winds can reach the intensity of a strong gale or hurricane, which poses a significant challenge for wanderers trying to navigate the level. The temperature is a cool 10°C (50°F), but the wind makes it feel much colder, so wearing heavier layers of clothing is recommended for exploration.
The landscape of Level 984 appears very artificial, predominantly featuring grass with a texture similar to turf throughout the entire area. There is no soil or dirt to be found. However, the uniformity of the plain is occasionally disrupted by structures resembling wind turbines, which seem to be intended for harnessing the heavy winds of the level. These turbines appear dysfunctional, making their true purpose unclear. Tiny homes and buildings can also be found, providing good shelter from the wind. However, these homes often lack windows and doors, raising concerns about their stability. Inside, they tend to contain supplies such as food and clothing.
Wanderers frequently hear sounds similar to cattle mooing and the distant chirping of unidentified birds despite the clear absence of such creatures. Testing has established that these sounds are not anomalies or hallucinations, as they can still be heard on recordings. The source of these noises remains undetermined, but it is likely a unique level characteristic.
As mentioned, an extremely reflective liquid separates the landscape, often large enough to stop wanderers from crossing it. This liquid is safe to drink and is described as very pure, with a texture and taste similar to regular tap water. These bodies' depths are undetermined, as an anomalous effect stops wanderers from swimming deep enough to find out. The origin of these bodies is unknown, as the level seems to stretch infinitely in all directions. No marine life or anything similar has yet to have been found.
Looking into the distance shows a rather peculiar phenomenon where the level seems to fold, where steep drop-offs become visible. This event poses no threat to wanderers, as it always seems to be far from a wanderer's position. When a fold occurs, two separate plains form, further making exploration difficult. This event is opening more questions about the stability of the level and its overall safety. The cause of this phenomenon is unknown, though it is likely a gravitational effect.
A void of some sort seems to be present beneath the level, according to some reports. The properties of this region are unknown, though it appears as a light blue sky dotted with small clouds. This has opened up theories that Level 984 is within some globe or is finite. If these theories are correct, what is beyond the barrier is unknown. Further research needs to be conducted to determine whether this is true.
Anomalous Presence[]
No physical confrontations with entities have been recorded, but it is not uncommon to see these entities wandering in the distance. It remains unclear whether this is an anomalous occurrence within Level 984. The entities observed are typically tall, dark humanoid figures walking parallel lines, always heading north. It is advisable not to approach these figures, as their hostility is unknown.
Habitation Status[]
Level 984 is mainly seen as a transitional location due to being relatively easy to exit. The potential for small-scale colonization is possible and is currently being considered by major groups.
Accessibility[]
Entrances[]
- Level 984 has no consistent access method, though the most common means are no-clipping in a state of desperation or falling asleep in levels similar to Level 10.
Exits[]
- Again, no consistent means are currently known to leave the level. The most common method is through wandering a considerable distance then falling asleep or falling of exhaustion.
- A rumored way to exit is by taking a sharp turn to a house and then walking behind it, which supposedly brings one to Level 9 or Level 96.
