'Level Pain' is a very dangerous level, confirmed to be the source of all Liquid Pain in the backrooms.

Prolong to Level Pain Rebooted
As mentioned in file 4, Level Pain has become sentient since it resurrection and has taken to killing anyone who enters it. Why? There was once the insistence of Level Pain being a Deadzone without it truly being a Deadzone. Can you blame this spatial anomaly for being a little spiteful?
Level Pain was not given its proper dues.
The versions were Level Pain was an island surrounded by Liquid Pain or any dangerous fluid for that matter is gone and any explorers who wandered there are dead. Truth be told Level Pain was never meant to be this iteration(s). After several iterations, deletions and an identity crisis, Level Pain is the following described below...
Description
Level Pain was never an island. Level Pain truly takes on the form of a seemingly post-apocalyptic wasteland with the land constantly battered by a category 5 thunderstorm. The sky is ridden with black clouds with a ominous green hue surrounding them, due to the constant thunderstorm they appear to be pitch black with the only thing showing them being the aforementioned green hue. The land itself appears to be greatly acidified, the reason why is currently unknown but it can be presumed to be because of the large abundance of liquid pain in the level. Trees appear burnt, lakes are highly acidic and most structures found throughout the level appear worn and decrepit.
If this place was give it proper due, explorers would have learned that Level Pain is the source of all Liquid Pain found in The Backrooms as The Hive is the source of most entities in The Backrooms. This massive reservoir of Liquid Pain can be found in a dark fountain hidden in a buried, forsaken temple. This temple is connected to any level in The Backrooms that consists of Liquid Pain.
Colonies and Outposts
Due to the nature of this level colonies and outpost cannot be established here.
Discovered Entity's
Drowners
Drowners slimy four armed humanoid entity's that reside within both the wasteland and the temple of Level Pain: Rebooted. When found outside of the temple they are extremely hostile and will attack anyone who gets too close to them, on the contrary the ones inside the temple will stay docile unless provoked. They are often seen either skulking around or tending to the temple and fountain under the watchful eye of The Overseer.
Hands
Hands large slimy, five fingered hand like entity's that reside in the large lake underneath the bridge leading to the temple in Level Pain: Rebooted. They serve as guardians for the temples entrance, upon anyone unknown to them stepping on the bridge they will immediately emerge and begin to try to swipe the intruder off of the bridge and into the lake below which will kill them instantly as many mini hands grab them and drag them below the surface. No matter how many of them die more will emerge in the dead ones place seemingly meaning there is an unlimited amount of them lurking below the large lakes surface.
The Overseer
The Overseer is a female humanoid entity wearing a black veil and black ceremonial robes with a liquid pain symbol on them, with a streak of what is presumed to be dark purple hair streaking across their face. She serves as the main caretaker of the Fountain of Suffering as well as the owner of The Guardian and the temple itself, she is currently the only entity in the level confirmed to be able to talk and surprisingly she is very sociable, as shown when she agreed to be interviewed by M.E.G agents. Despite usually being level-headed she is a force to be reckoned with if provoked, when she becomes hostile she will either use her powers to throw the provoker into the fountain and turn them into a Drowner or she will personally destroy them herself.
The Guardian
The Guardian is a massive scorpion-like entity that guards the Fountain of Suffering and serves as a pet to The Overseer. When not defending the fountain it is usually seen sleeping or playing with The Overseer, when it senses the fountain is in danger though it will immediately put a shield around the fountain and get into a defensive position, it will then raise its tail in a warning stance telling the aggressor to back off, if they refuse it will viciously attack them until they either leave or die.
The Level Itself
The Level Itself, due to constant years of identity crisis and other major issues has somehow gained sentience, disallowing anyone to leave unless said so by a higher power (The Overseer). The level has multiple different ways of proving its sentient such as increasing the intensity of the thunder storm and turning the sky red when angry, or the rain becoming more solemn and the sky turning blue whenever it is sad. It also is said that the Hand entity's may also serve as an extension of the levels sentience, since despite their appearance they appear to change depending on the levels mood.
Entrances and Exits
Entrances
- Passing through scalding hot stream produced by one of the pipes in The Boilers of Level 5 has a 5% chance of sending you here. (Do this at your own risk as there is a 95% this will injure or kill you.)
- There is a 0.01% drinking any random drinks left on the counter of Level -43 will transport you here.
- Malveillants, from Level -777, known as the Dormeurs éthérés (Translation: Ethereal Sleepers), have been known to intercept explorers in the Voidic Woods. These explorers are taken to one of many lakes of Liquid Pain found in the Voidic Woods and, there the Malveillant will attempt to drown their captive. There is a 5% chance that if you put a good fight, you will be transferred to Level Pain.
Exits
- Level Pain has become sentient and is not allowing anyone who enters here to leave. Unless specifically stated by Overseer, in which one can exit through the doors which symbolized levels with liquid pain in them using symbol images above the doors.
