Chapter 55 - Ch 55 (Dr Brait)

..And far away from the Backrooms, which are above-metaphysical like the other three existences, and in every world of demigods, and in some place where time passes like the Backrooms, where Rogers moves through a completely strange place that is incomprehensible and whose nature is not understood, as he was going to visit Truth, or his strongest great-grandfather in the entire family, Mr. Truth. Then Rogers stands in a place surrounded by endless clouds of a yellow leaning toward gold, and then Rogers speaks, saying: Hello, grandfather, I have come to visit you. The strongest grandfather in the family, Mr. Truth, who belongs to the Path of Light, specifically the First Sequence: the Sequence of the Transcendent Angel, appears. Then winged jinn appear with white wings from which feathers heavier than all the worlds in the world of demigods fall. Then he speaks, saying: Welcome, my son. You know that I manifest here from time to time, and I like this place. Then Rogers hugs his grandfather warmly, expressing how much he loves him, and says: I truly missed you, and I came to you because I want to ask you a question. The grandfather, who appears extremely handsome and beautiful and not old at all, despite being the oldest person in his family, smiles, and then says: Go ahead, my son, speak. Then Rogers says: Grandfather, I am lost. The ability you gave me, the ability of uncertainty, which places doubt inside me whenever there is something in any being, no matter what, until I become cautious. I have grown tired of the amount of doubt that comes inside me from a being called Sherlock. Can you, grandfather, see him with your unmatched ability and insight? Can this person be trusted or not? Then the grandfather says in complete calm: Very well, my son, no problem, it is easy for me. At that moment, the grandfather activates an ability called the Eternal Light of Knowledge, and at that moment his awareness becomes vast and immense to such an extent that he sees the three existences as if he were looking down upon them from above. At that moment the grandfather determines Sherlock's location and is shocked [How did this weak boy go to that place? This is impossible]. Then the grandfather tries to see whether Sherlock can be trusted or not, and suddenly, while he is looking at him from a transcendent perspective, golden mist suddenly appears and blocks his vision, and everything returns to how it was. The grandfather is extremely shocked while Rogers says: So, grandfather, did you see his intentions? Are they evil or good? Mr. Truth thinks for several moments and then says: I saw nothing. That boy is protected and watched by something unknown, higher than my ability to confront or observe. Rogers is extremely shocked [His sudden disappearance, his strange abilities, and his constant silence, all of this was already suspicious!]..

..And somewhere in level 140, Sherlock feels some dizziness, and then he looks carefully and sees around him a very beautiful place resembling a huge palace, and in front of him a massive door as if it were the palace gate. Then Sherlock says: What beauty is this? This is extremely strange for a world like this. At that moment Sherlock stands in front of the huge door and sees a paper hanging on one side of the door with a warning written on it. Sherlock approaches the paper and reads what is on it, which says: To everyone who has reached this level by any means, I hope you are well and in good health. My name is Bones, and I reached this floor before. Before you do anything to open the huge door, I hope you follow the following instructions. Then Sherlock continues reading those instructions, which are: I ask anyone inside this level to remain calm and not disturb the princess. She is extremely powerful to the point of terror. She does not follow any Path. She is a being that existed from this world, a lord of this world. She is so powerful it is terrifying, and extremely beautiful. Just never anger her and always be respectful and polite with her, and everything will be fine. The most important thing: never look into her eyes. And if you are extremely hungry, you will find plenty of almond water in most areas of this endless level. Sherlock is extremely shocked [A princess! And without a Path? Is it possible she has not drunk any potion and is a being whose existence is tied to this world?] Sherlock becomes a little tense, and then Fool speaks, saying: Don't worry, let's go. In the end she is beautiful as the instructions said. It is better for us only not to look into her eyes, and most importantly of all, I cannot come out except for one minute only, and this is your limit now. We have become weaker after the mask disappeared and you left it. Then Sherlock sighs and opens the door, and then he sees a princess sitting on a beautiful white throne wearing a blue shining dress, with cloudy-colored eyes and long yellow hair. Then the princess moves with all grace and respect and advances with steady steps while Sherlock looks at the ground, and then the princess speaks in a very beautiful and soft voice and says: Welcome, new visitor. Welcome, I am the princess and my name is Blue Apple. Sherlock smiles politely and advances with her, and suddenly the princess says: Forgive me, but you must remove that suit immediately. Sherlock is extremely shocked and tense [If I remove it, I will lose consciousness like what happened in level 0! What should I do now!]. While the princess looks at Sherlock, Sherlock smiles slightly, and then he removes the suit while the princess helps him with that. At that moment, with the suit removed, Sherlock feels no change at all, which makes him astonished [I forgot, in the Backrooms every level is completely different from the others. In this place, it seems there is no problem with removing the suit]. Then the princess smiles and says: You seem hungry. Now come with me and let us sit at that table. Sherlock greets her and goes with her calmly while the lady snaps her fingers, and suddenly the suit disappears and is transferred to a suitable place for hanging clothes, which makes Sherlock extremely stunned [She manipulates reality that easily. No wonder she is the lady of the entire level!]..

..At that moment Sherlock and the princess sit at the huge table. Then the princess smiles cheerfully and says: You are extremely handsome, tell me, what is your name? Sherlock smiles while not looking into her eyes and says: I am called Sherlock. Then the princess says: I like that name, it is beautiful. Then, while the princess smiles, almond water suddenly appears directly in front of Sherlock, and then the princess says: Come on, let us eat. You look extremely hungry. Then Sherlock says: Yes indeed, I am hungry. At that moment Sherlock opens the bottle and drinks from it with intense thirst and says inwardly [This is strange, its taste is beautiful and at the same time filling and gives the sufficient amount of spiritual energy]. While Sherlock drinks, the princess has not yet started eating. Then the princess becomes slightly angry and says angrily: Did no one teach you table manners? Sherlock becomes tense and puts down the bottle immediately and says: I am extremely sorry, I was very hungry. The princess smiles strangely, then places her hand on her head and tries to calm down and says: No problem, table manners are simple. Only the ladies start first, and after the lady places the bottle or anything else on the table, the man begins. Then Sherlock calms down a little [She is very strict and considers such things obvious and gets angry quickly. I must be careful]. Then the lady begins eating a meal consisting of food resembling chicken and extremely strange salad, where it is a concentration of energy taking that form, and then she places the fork, and at that moment Sherlock drinks from the bottle again. After several moments the lady and Sherlock finish eating, and then the princess says: Do not move, just wait. The servants will come to take the remaining food. Sherlock smiles slightly and says inwardly [Servants? Why does she even need servants?] Then Sherlock looks under the table and sees another paper from Bones with more instructions written on it, saying: It is better for you, visitor, to never move at all after finishing the meal, and since you are reading this paper now, you are alive and have followed table manners. You only need not move. The servants are not servants in the literal sense. They are terrifying dreadful entities that serve the princess and hide in the darkness. Although they are not within any Path, their powers and existence equal the power of a Sequence Five Transcendent, and it is better not to respond to them at all, and to beware of their master, who equals the power of Sequence Three. Then Sherlock becomes tense and straightens up. At that moment the princess says: Servants, now we are finished. Suddenly the princess snaps her fingers, and at that moment absolute darkness fills everywhere, which makes Sherlock feel complete fear [I thought they were dark entities, but it turns out they move in the darkness. This is terrifying]. At that moment, while Sherlock does not move or make any sound, Sherlock hears footsteps moving very quickly and strange sounds. At that moment Sherlock feels the breath of something behind his head as if some entity is staring at him. Then Sherlock becomes extremely tense and suddenly one of those entities places its hand on Sherlock's shoulder. Then Sherlock becomes so tense that he was about to move from the force of the pressure on his shoulder, and then Fool speaks from inside him and says: Do not move at all, their aura is insane indeed. Then the entity removes its hand from Sherlock and continues lifting the plates. Then the princess speaks saying: I apologize if I frightened you. I do not even like the darkness. It is scary and you do not know what is there. But do not worry, they are my beloved children. Suddenly the lights return as they were and the entities disappear again into the darkness, and then the princess smiles and says: You may now stand as you wish. From now on you can stay in the palace however you want. When night falls, of course, my owl will guide you to your room. Now you should go out into the light and enjoy this world that has no end. You will find many different things and precious things. And while the princess is about to snap her fingers, she says: But be careful, when you hear the alarms you must return. There are 3 alarms: the first is to alert you, the second is the last warning to return, and the third is for fun. You must return before night because my children are very troublesome. Suddenly the lady snaps her fingers without giving Sherlock any room for conversation..

..Sherlock feels a little frustrated and looks toward the sky that contains a circular shape resembling the sun. At that moment Sherlock enters a moment of contemplation, remembering everything that happened before. Then he says inwardly [I am already tired. Every entity has limits. I fear I may have reached my limits. I am truly tired, mother. How much I wish to sleep in your embrace. You were the only one I loved, the first light after which the others came. I love you so much, and although I do not remember my father, I love him too. Every person always has their own reasons and convictions, and that is why I respect him. When he left you, I already know you do not hear me, mother, but I must become stronger. Several days ago I felt a strange sensation. My existence was changing. I felt that I was gradually turning into a monster. I have remained too long in the Eighth Sequence. I must evolve quickly. I must become stronger not because I want power, but only because I want to continue in an existence that rejects granting my hopes, difficult to obtain. Every step, every memory, every reason makes me stronger than before. I will advance and never stop until I achieve my goal, my mother]. Sherlock laughs softly and moves through an endless garden while touching the long grass and says inwardly [Human beings and every other being in the different worlds and existences always aspire to achieve what they want. By nature, they want everything to happen as they planned and as the path was drawn for them. But in truth the world is obscure, gloomy, and terrifying, and it never grants us what we want. To achieve something, you must strive as much as what you want to achieve, and that is wisdom and mercy. Yes, mercy! Every deficient one, every being no matter what, will remain deficient. And this is the beauty: that the deficient being cannot achieve everything and must strive and cling to hopes. That is the essence of existence and what it is. And that long journey, even though I am tired, there are always times for rest]..

..Suddenly, in an imaginary place outside all three existences and the Marble Existence, a fully transcendent place in a complete higher existence but still lower than the World of Gods, appears a massive entity that words cannot describe as massive or apply concepts such as greatness or size to. It is an entity that is the absolute limit of what lies below the World of Gods. It is the basis of everything beneath it. It is necessary by another. It is a being that is the limit in everything, possessing all knowledge and all concepts and all power, no matter what, in all the worlds beneath the World of Gods. It appears in a void outside the three existences and the Marble Existence, appearing completely black while its eyes are vast and entirely white, whiter than any white color in existence. It speaks with a voice that has a beautiful echo, as if it moves existence however it wishes, and says: This one I knew is special, but I do not care what is special and what that specialness is. I do not want to know anything else. I have all knowledge of everything. Only two entities do I know nothing about, and they are you and True Death. And while the entity looks from a place that cannot be said to be above or below or right or left, because these things and concepts are merely too limited, the entity continues saying: I am desperate, and here I have found something similar to me. At that moment the entity does something extremely mysterious..

..And with Sherlock, while he is lost in thought, he gives a slight smile toward the sky, and suddenly he feels a strange sensation as if someone touched him from behind all of a sudden, so he turns quickly and says: What was that? He looks and sees only the endless garden. Then Fool speaks from within him [I suddenly felt a shiver. I do not know why, but what just happened is absolutely not normal]. Then Sherlock tries to ignore the matter and continues moving until he finds in front of him a completely black cave. Then suddenly a mysterious, featureless person appears wearing a white suit resembling scientists and doctors, while wearing glasses, with red hair and red eyes. At that moment he disappears into the darkness. Then Sherlock says [He resembles the scientists I saw. He might be the hope for my escape from here]. Sherlock runs toward the cave while saying aloud: Wait, you there. Then Sherlock enters, and at the moment he crosses the darkness everything changes as if he had moved to another place, and he sees that the cave is illuminated and full of things resembling diamonds and many other precious things. Then Sherlock advances and sees the person turning right. Then Sherlock runs and turns right and sees that he has reached the end of the cave, which shocks him. He looks down and sees the Sequence Seven potion of the Seer Path, Flame of Illusion! [What was that thing and why did it bring me here?] At that moment Sherlock hears a strange sound somewhat like music, and it becomes clear that it is the first alarm..

..And at level 0, we see Dr. Pakulips, Mrs. Marie, Rose and Mr. X, all talking about several matters while Pakulips looks toward the glass wall and beyond it the yellow walls stretching endlessly. While he is lost in thought, Marie speaks saying: Dr. Pakulips, are you alright? Pakulips is startled and kicks the table, causing his coffee to spill on his clothes. Then he sighs and says: That was my mistake. I will go and change those clothes. The three scientists feel the strangeness of Dr. Pakulips today. While Dr. Pakulips continues moving toward his private room, exhaustion appears on him while a slight darkness appears beneath his eye from fatigue and lack of sleep. Then he enters his private room and closes the door tightly. Then he goes silently and removes his clothes and looks in the glass, and at that moment huge scratch marks appear on his chest along with treated holes. At that moment he enters the bathroom, washes his face with water, and looks in the glass as if trying to accept what he has now become, and he remembers the incident that happened on the day he moved to this hell [I was on my bed and my spiritual energy was about to run out. In the spiritual world I had already become old. I never followed any god. I wanted to live a normal classical life without magic or supernatural power, the nature of the spirit world. I wanted to make equations and discover laws like the material world, but I grew bored. Everything was too chaotic. You discover a law and the next day it changes. The world was strange as if it were an illusion. At that time I was only 4 million years old. Immortality was easy in this world, but I rejected it. I wanted death and rest. My dear friend Dr. Brait was sitting with me on the night of my death. He did not speak. He showed no signs of sadness. Then he said to me: I hope to see you again in a better place. Then he left in silence without a word. He was always strange. I never felt that he belonged to this world in the actual sense. He was a strange person. He already knew everything and was indifferent. He was kind but did not care about the facts, leaving them to happen without temporary sadness, and he was right, for the fact that I was about to die could not be changed, so he accepted it without sadness at all as if it were something normal. And after I died I was transferred to the Backrooms for no clear reason, and while I hated immortality in this place I was bitten in the middle and my body was split in half as a result of my going into the darkness, but I came to what I hate, which is immortality]. While Pakulips stands in front of the glass removing the bandages on his body, at that moment his spiritual energy renews and rebuilds itself, causing those marks to disappear. Then he says in a low voice while drops of water fall from his face: I hate that organization that forced me to be here, while I discovered that my friend had died too and was transferred to this place, and now it is impossible for me to meet him. We are in completely different social layers. He is the more prestigious one and gains the trust of the organization and its five members. I am already so exhausted that I have started trying to kill myself and injure myself every time I stand here. At that moment Pakulips forms claws through the power of illusion and slashes his face while spiritual blood falls and he feels no pain, looking at the mirror glass. Suddenly Marie knocks on the door and says: Pakulips, are you here? Then Pakulips says: I am in the bathroom. Then Marie says: Fine, hurry up, we need you now. Then Pakulips sighs, and at that moment the claw marks on his face disappear, and he says with bitterness: I am coming, I just need to put on my clothes. While Pakulips is about to leave, he turns and is shocked in place, because behind him there suddenly appears a person wearing white clothes like his, wearing glasses, with red eyes and red hair. Then Pakulips says in a low voice: Brait?! At that moment Brait smiles and says: How are you, my old friend? You have grown indeed. There are many secrets that neither you nor any being knows anything about. Do you want to see some of them? At that moment Brait extends his hand toward Pakulips with a slight smile on his face while Pakulips tries to understand how Brait suddenly reached this place. Then Pakulips shakes hands with Brait, who smiles and says: I will show you the truth and leave you to decide what you want. Suddenly everything turns completely black and Pakulips sees himself standing in an endless void while all the worlds beneath his feet look like distant points expanding continuously. Then Brait appears and says: That is my image that you always know, my friend. What you will see will determine what you want. No one knows about this. I only want to reveal the truth to you because you are the only one I have ever been connected to. Pakulips cannot speak from the shock and says: This is not real, it is just a dream! Then Brait sighs and says in a voice that creates layered echoes: People think dreams are not real merely because they are not made of matter or particles in the material world. But people are wrong. All entities are wrong. Dreams are real. In fact, they are made of a few points of images from memories, hints, and lost hopes. Dreams can evoke terror in the mind and affect consciousness. In the world of dreams, I am the lord of everything. I am the master of the sleepers. I am the absolute limit. Pakulips is shocked and says in a frightened voice: I do not understand. You are not Brait. Who are you? Then Brait says: I am the absolute limit in all the worlds beneath the World of Gods. I was an ordinary human as you know. I used to play and have fun with you in the material world, and now you do not know me? What is this irony? People fear the unknown even if it begins as familiar. Do you not remember your friend who, long ago, was once restrained and imprisoned by humans, starved, stripped of his clothes and of everything he was, his tools, everything, and even from my path of going to the world of dreams when sleeping? But now I have returned to my rightful place in existence, and that will never happen again. I will not be sealed, I will not weaken, I will not be defeated, I will not hurt, I will not sympathize, just let everything continue as it is..

..Pakulips stands in shock, unable to understand anything. Then Brait speaks and says: That is the image you know of me. That is not my truth but part of the truth. I brought you here because you are the only one within my knowledge whom I cared about. And while Pakulips cannot speak at all from the shock, Brait approaches him and places his hand on his head and strokes it. At that moment Pakulips is able to speak freely and says: So that is your truth, but why? Why did you let yourself suffer? Brait laughs lightly and then says: When humans see transcendence they forget what they were before. Did I not tell you that I was a completely ordinary human? I was like you, even weaker. I discovered things beyond your ability to perceive and reached the key to everything beneath the World of Gods, and now this is what I have become. I who was Dr. Brait and now became the Master of Sleepers, the beings that dream worlds and become those worlds reality. I am their master, I am the all-knowing supreme ruler in this world. Then Pakulips says in fear and shock: But how is this possible? Something impossible! Then Brait says: Nothing is impossible in this world, at least for me. Then Brait continues: You are my friend and I know all of your suffering, and you have the freedom to choose. I can make you die in complete peace forever or continue as you are. So what do you choose? Pakulips remains silent for several moments and thinks deeply. Then he says: I did not think I would stand before a transcendent being like you. Now the decision is serious, but.. Then Pakulips falls silent again. Then his eyes tear up and he clenches his fist tightly and says: I do not actually want death. I do not want the easy words. I stab myself and I know I will not die, but I want something. I want a being that frees me and brings salvation to the Backrooms. Then Brait smiles slightly and says: That is what I knew you would say. Suddenly everything begins to vanish, making Pakulips feel fear and anticipation. Then Brait continues: There is a being here in the Backrooms, one of the four whose death was faked. I know nothing about him, but I only know that salvation is in his hand. Follow him. Suddenly everything returns as it was, and while Pakulips stands in the bathroom looking in the mirror, Marie says: Pakulips, you are late. I told you to come out quickly. Then Pakulips says in a low voice: I hope so..
