The door behind me shut closed, preventing me from going back now. I looked ahead and saw what appeared to be a long, beautiful dining table, lavished with the finest foods anyone could find and could only be described as beautiful and ornate, and in no way damaged. Two chairs stood on either side of the table, and looking out the window, was a large being who seemed to appear as a twisted and corrupted stone statue wielding a sword and donning a crown.

He turned around and looked at me.

"Ah, a newcomer. Welcome" The entity said in a deep but ruling voice "Please, sit down" It said again as it sat down at the chair near him, moving like a normal human even though it was made out of stone. I had no other choice but to accept. I looked at the chair next to me and sat down at it

"Welcome newcomer, you may have heard of me before but let me introduce myself. I am The King of the Clouds, The Animated King, or simply just The King" The entity said, now being referred to The King "

"Anyway now, I'd like to talk about a few things. I've seen many things in my day. You know, I've seen flowers bloom in Level 0, fields of sunflowers covering the hills of this level, entities being happy and glad and kind to one another. A age of peace I tell you" The King explained

"Peace?" I asked

"Peace" The King replied "The Backrooms was wonderful, it was beautiful, it was safe. People would want to come here, they would laugh and play. It was marvelous. And who do you think is responsible for that? Me" The King said

"You did all of that?" I asked

"And many more my child. I know the truth" The King said"

"The truth?" I asked

"Yes! I can tell you everything! I know a way out of this, rotting hell" The King said

"What do you mean, a way out?" I asked

"An exit! A finish line! The true exit to The Backrooms! I know it" The King replied

"Bullshit" I said

"You may not believe that, but I told you that I'm the creator meaning I'm the only one who could have created the exit, meaning I know it!" The King said "I can show you"

"How?" I asked

Before continuing, he let out a chuckle "Join me" He said

"What?" I asked

"Put on the crown, and join me in our ruling crusade!" The King said, all while a golden crown, just like the one The King was hovering in front of me. I stood up from my chair and slowly reached out for the crown. I held it in both of my hands, but then putting it in my right hand, lunging my body back and throwing it directly at The King, getting a headshot on him

"Thanks but no thanks!" I yelled, throwing the crown "Finally, those 4 years in baseball are finally paying off" I thought to myself, but this angered The King.

"I don't care how long it takes, you WILL join me!" The King yelled, but I had jumped on top of the table and ran to him, my sword in hand and a pistol attached to my belt. Just about to swing my sword at The King, giving him all my might, he put his hand out, and I froze, unable to move. The world around me became dark, with no light at all, and The King had disappeared. I regained the ability to move, but the table below me was now gone, and I was trapped in this dark abyss.

"I tried to help you" A voice echoed around me "I tried to help you all!" It was there that the darkness around me became into a dark school hall, and behind me, a Skin Stealer was charging at me, leaving me no choice but to run

"You're just a scared, weak, game developer!" The voice yelled out again, and I had fallen through the ground and into my office. I stood back up and looked at my computer, showing The Backrooms game
