Level 997.
It is the 998th level in the backrooms and It is not recommended to attempt to come here, if for whatever reason you decide to.
Description
The environment of Level 997 is similar to a small island, surrounded by a deep blue and endless sea. There is a dense forest on the island opposite to the ocean, and the dense canopy blocks most of the light, making people feel dark.
When wanderders come to Level 997, they are initially almost imperceptible - because wanderders who come to Level 997 lose consciousness for two hours to three days. The cause of this event is unknown, but it always ends before the body's metabolism is completely stopped.
be warned, for there has been an entity suspected of tampering with files related to this level
After you wake up, you quickly feel the suffocating air, there seems to be a lack of oxygen, even though there is a forest nearby. You are drawn towards the shiny ocean, for it looks bueatifull and there is nothing else to do, but then the shock of looking into the ocean hits.
As you see yourself in the ocean, your sanity starts to diminish quickly (complimented by the fact most people here are already quite low on sanity), through the ocean manipulating your thoughts, seemingly though extreme guilt, it seems to know what the adventurer has in their head, and manipulates it’s surface reflection to shock the adventurer. often shocking the adventurer so much they have trouble even moving
whilst the adventurer is stuck in place, the forest comes alive and takes the adventurer in to consume it through pulling the body beneath the soil and decomposing it through the soil and roots.
An unfortunate consequence of the properties of the living forest and soil is that it's life force is passed around, leaving the adventurer to stay living underneath the soil as their body decomposes over the span of weeks
Theories on this level include that it only lets in people who are extremely low on sanity and not in their right mind, choosing them as an “easy prey” to manipulate into consumption

Entrances And Exits
Entrances
The only confirmed way to access this level is through attempting suicide in a safe level, often leading people to think this is the afterlife. please note that this only works if the person does not know of this level, if said person did know of this level, they will probably just die
Another way to enter just seems to be on a random attempt to no-clip, leading to this level. Although you may note this has only been recorded to happen on levels very deep into the backrooms, often undocumented
Exits
The only two known exits are:
No-clipping after you “wake up”
wandering for long enough in the forest
