NO-RETURN GAP: LEVEL OBSERVED WITHIN THE BACKROOMS, HENCEFORTH REFERENCED TO AS LEVEL 9 N. THE PRESENT ROTWATCHER HAS OBSERVED ITSELF IN THIS SPACE FOLLOWING TRAVERSAL THROUGH AN UNUSUALLY DARK GAP FOUND IN PREVIOUS LEVEL.
LEVEL STRUCTURE IS INFINITE IN A CONTINUOUS MANNER, CONSISTING OF EAST-BRIGHT TRADITIONAL CHAMBERS ADJOINED BY ROOFED OUTDOOR ENCLOSURES. SECTIONS ARE MAINLY SEPARATED USING SLIDING FIBROUS DOORS AND SCREENS. LEVEL IS TEMPORALLY FIXED AT THE VERY END OF A BRIGHT-CYCLE, LEADING TO ENCOMPASSING DARKNESS AND FREEZING TEMPERATURES.
PHENOMENON OBSERVED THROUGHOUT LEVEL 9 N IS THE INABILITY TO UTILIZE LIGHT SOURCES. ANY LIGHT DEVICES POWERED BY LIGHTNING ACT AS IF BROKEN, AND EVEN PRIMITIVE LIGHTING SUCH AS THE USE OF FIRE QUICKLY EXTINGUISHES DESPITE A LACK OF WIND. AN EXCEPTION IS OBSERVED THROUGH INSTALLED LIGHTING IN THE EAST-BRIGHT CHAMBERS, BUT THE LIGHTING IS NEVER BRIGHTER THAN A SMALL LIGHT BULB.
WITH THE ABOVE CONDITIONS, COUPLED WITH OTHER PHENOMENON AND ITS EFFECTS DESCRIBED IN A LATER SECTION, THE ROTWATCHER IS ABLE TO CONCLUDE THIS LEVEL POSSESSES DIFFICULTIES IN ESCAPING ALIVE. THEREFORE, CAUTION IS ADVISED WHEN PROCEEDING THROUGHOUT THE LEVEL.
THE MOST COMMON STRUCTURE WANDERERS FIND THEMSELVES IN IS THE ADJOINING ROOFED OUTDOOR STRUCTURE, HEREBY REFERENCED TO AS THE 'VERANDA'. THE VERANDA HAS BEEN DIRECTLY OBSERVED BY THE PRESENT ROTWATCHER TO BE A SPOT MOST WANDERERS END UP IN. VERANDA COMPONENTS CONSIST OF WOODEN FLOORS, GLASS DOORS, AND SLIDING SCREENS. STRUCTURE EXHIBITS IRREGULAR NON-LINEAR PROPERTIES, LEADING TO INCREASED CHANCE OF MISPLACEMENT. THE SUBJECTED ROTWATCHER HAS DIRECTLY OBSERVED INSTANCES OF RETURNING TO A SINGULAR SPACE WITHIN VERANDA MULTIPLE TIMES DESPITE FORWARD MOVEMENT AND SUDDEN ENCOUNTERS WITH THE STRUCTURE'S ENDPOINT.
PHENOMENON WHEN STAYING ON THE VERANDA FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME IS OBSERVED, IN WHICH SENSATIONS OF ALL FIVE CATEGORIES GRADUALLY BEGIN TO DULL. THE ROTWATCHER HAS BEEN SUBJECTED BY THIS PHENOMENON DURING ITS TRAVERSAL THROUGH THE VERANDA, AS IT HAS DIRECTLY OBSERVED ITS SENSORY ORGAN NOT PERFORMING AT ITS USUAL FUNCTIONING LEVEL. EFFECTS ESCALATE TO THE POINT WHERE MOVEMENT BECOMES DIFFICULT, WITH ACCOUNTS DESCRIBING THIS EFFECT AS IF THE SURROUNDING DARKNESS IS ATTEMPTING TO DISSOLVE THEM. ENDPOINT FOR THIS PHENOMENON IS UNKNOWN, AS THE ROTWATCHER HAPPENED TO WANDER INTO AN EAST-BRIGHT TRADITIONAL CHAMBER. EFFECTS BROUGHT BY THE PHENOMENON ARE OBSERVED TO DECREASE WHEN INSIDE THE CHAMBER, MAKING PERIODS OF REST WITHIN NECESSARY FOR CONTINUED SURVIVAL.
DESPITE A LACK OF AIR MOVEMENT THROUGHOUT THE LEVEL, SOUNDS SUCH AS GLASS DOORS SHAKING VIOLENTLY HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED. IN ADDITION, SOUNDS OF OPENING AND CLOSING DOORS, ALONG WITH THE SOUND OF LOUD FOOTSTEPS ON THE VERANDA, HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED. IT IS CURRENTLY UNKNOWN IF THE SOURCE OF THESE NOISES BELONGS TO ANOTHER WANDERER OR ENTITY, BUT THERE ARE REPORTS OF WANDERERS BEING STARTLED BY THESE NOISES AND DISAPPEARING IN SEARCH OF OR ATTEMPTING TO HIDE FROM THE SOURCE.
EAST-BRIGHT TRADITIONAL CHAMBER: ACCESSED THROUGH SLIDING SCREENS FROM THE VERANDA. CONSISTS OF THREE PROMINENT SPACES: A RECEPTION SPACE, AN ALTAR SPACE, AND AN EMPTY SPACE. A SMALL OPENING IN THE CHAMBER WALL HAS ALSO BEEN OBSERVED. CHAMBER IS RELATIVELY SAFE COMPARED TO REST OF THE LEVEL, THOUGH IT CONTAINS NO USEFUL RESOURCES SUCH AS NUTRITION. THEREFORE, IT IS ADVISED TO ONLY REST TEMPORARILY WITHIN THIS SPACE.
PRESENCE OF AN EAST-BRIGHT GARDEN IS OBSERVED BEYOND THE VERANDA. STONE LIGHT SOURCES AND A SMALL NATURAL POOL CAN BE OBSERVED, BUT OTHER FEATURES REMAIN OBSCURED BY DARKNESS. ATTEMPTS TO VENTURE INTO THE COURTYARD HAVE ALL LED TO DISAPPEARANCE, WITH THE ONLY ACCOUNT OF WHAT LIES WITHIN THE GARDEN BEING AN OBSERVATION OF CELEBRATION MUSIC BEING PLAYED. IT IS ADVISED TO AVOID THE COURTYARD.
AN UNUSUAL PHENOMENON IS DIRECTLY OBSERVED BY THE PRESENT ROTWATCHER DURING ITS PERIOD OF STAY WITHIN LEVEL 9 N. AS IT WAS TRAVERSES THROUGH THE VERANDA, THE ROTWATCHER IS OBSERVED TO HEAR A CALL SOUNDING THROUGHOUT THE SPACE. THIS CALL SEEMS DIRECTED TOWARDS THE PRESENT ROTWATCHER, THOUGH THE DESIGNATION USED IN THE CALL IS INCONSISTENT WITH ANY NOMENCLATURE USED IN REFERENCE TO THE ROTWATCHER, INCLUDING ITS SELF-ASSIGNED DESIGNATION. BEFORE THE ROTWATCHER CAN BEGIN TO LOCATE THE SOURCE OF THIS CALL, IT OBSERVES ITSELF TO HAVE UNDERGONE SUDDEN LOCATIONAL EXCHANGE TO ANOTHER LEVEL. THEREFORE, THE SOURCE OF THE CALL REMAINS UNKNOWN.
