waking up from a bed i look around confused "Where am I? Im home...? But I was put doing something. What was I really doing....? I cant remember. Seems like my headaches suddenly gone too...weird."

getting up from bed i look around seeing everything is normal and my diary is sitting on top of my table

"I guess I'll just review the diary entries"

While reviewing the diary i noticed something unusual

"Exploration Documentary 7? Im pretty sure i only did 6. How did this get here or did i forget about it. I'll just review it to find out." saying this i start to read the documentary

If you are reading this then dont worry about anything else. Everything went according to the plan and you will be safe from now on. You wont be able to remember anything since our memory has been wiped due to some specific reason but ill try my best to explain and yes this is me writing and explaining to myself

After entering the sealed door i again stumbled upon the same white void but this time the being was infront of me. I'll consider the being as IT. IT was not hostile instead IT was friendly and gave answers to all of my questions on why does this basement exist, how it was formed, its purpose and everything. The reason why my memory was wiped is because this amount of knowledge will kill me as i have consumed knowledge which was not meant to be but ill try to explain in simple terms so you can understand without any harm

Firstly its regarding IT. Imagine this what would happen to the creations if a creator goes mad? Of course his creations would be in shambles. This is the why IT sealed itself in a small place where IT could stop time itself to the State of just before going full beserk. Thats why this place is guarded so heavily. If the door gets unsealed IT's control over time will also disappear and everything will be in shambles

Secondly why does the basement exist? Everything in this universe has a balance. When balance is destroyed everything just falls apart. To maintain the balance in IT's already weakened state IT created this sub dimensional space which is now known as the basement

Thirdly does this place really have an exit? Yes it has one exit. But IT has completely shut it down so no one could ever find it. Reason? Its like this a drawing cannot exist outside of the paper that it was drawn on. So those who leave the basement cannot exist outisde of it. Another thing that i asked was about the "exits" that dwellers claim that they found. IT replied those are false exits which he created. These were a type of "entertainment" for IT. The first and only thought came to my mind was IT really has a twisted sense of humour

Finally i asked IT why was i chosen? IT said that IT was feeling bored and wanted to talk to someone and since i was exploring the basement IT just randomly chose me. Really? I was made to go through that hell almost dying multiple times just so someone could talk to IT? Was there really no other fucking way?????? IT really has gone beserk is the only logical explanation that came to my mind

This is as far as i can explain. Remember dont try to find secrets which were not meant to be found. Dont try to look for things which are hidden. Do not try to consume knowledge which has been forbidden to consume. Always know your limit. I am satisfied with all the answers i got so dont dig further

lets out a deep breathe after reading the documentary and looks out the window

"Seems like i was satisfied. I even warned myself not to look deeper. I guess then this is it huh. Seriously its so ironic even though i know everything i do not remember anything."

thinking of all sorts of stuffs i decide to burn the diary alongside the documents and go back to the sit alongside the window to enjoy the view without any worries of danger

"Always know your limit huh..."

It took me quite a long time to gain back my sanity and stability. I even had to extract aleph's authority.

The only reason i was able to escape was because of the angel level spider threads which were gifted to me. It was able to hold them until i had successfully escaped.

Even tho i have escaped i still haven’t shaken off those voices. It still rings in my ears. I still dont understand what it is saying. But i can feel something and that is my authority of influence is being used on me. Even tho i dont want to return back i feel like i need to. Its getting stronger and stronger each passing day. It'll be either i go back myself or whatever it is that is influencing me gets to me. Both cases are bad but i guess its better not to agro it.

Making up my mind i gather my stuffs up to go back. I also stabilised alephs authority so now i can use it without affecting me or my appearance.

Looking at the door to the layers of #### i take a deep breathe and go in.

Going in i immediately feel something different. The hostility in this area is non existent now. Even the paths are much clearer. I reach the room with the door quite easily without any trouble and very fast too. This lead me to the conclusion that this whole layer is controlled by something and it is situated behind the door. I dont know why but it is calling me.

Inside the room right before the door there is a weird object. Picking it up i notice its a strange cube like object which many complex symbols and design. It even feels extraordinary. Moreover the moment i took it in hand i had a feeling that this will help me pass through that door. So it was definitely arranged by whatever is behind that door. Truth to be told i dont want to enter but i am out of options.

This is my documentary right before entering. If everything goes well and i somehow manage to stay alive ill write further.

Wish me luck.

Everything around me is getting blurrier and blurrier. I cannot even tell which way im facing right now.

After finally regaining my senses and balance i look around. Ive been "teleported" to another place....but there's literally nothing here. Just a white void with a surface. As far as i can see its just plain white. Not a living being in sight.

All of a sudden there's something behind me...something so terrifying that i didn’t even have the courage to look back...i was sweating trembling hoping that whatever it is doesn’t kill me....instantly...it could do it...but i was hoping... It doesn’t.

It came up to my ear and started spouting "words"-

############################################################################################################################################

Then i came back to the room with the door again. Without waiting a single Moment i started running. Running as fast as i could wherever i could i just wanted to get out. My instincts took over...instincts of survival that it. It overtook my Curiosity and i started running frantically.

I dont know what that thing said nor do i want to kniw what it said. Those " words" are being echo in my head again and again. It feels like my head is about to explode. My sanity is in shambles. To make it worse the already weakened alephs authority is going beserk. All of the souls and emotions are going crazy with ravings. Its making me to lose my sanity even further.

The entities here have become more aggressive attacking me now savagely and strangely coordinately. Whatever i encountered there shouldn’t have been encountered. This is why their now hunting me like this. I need to find the exit ASAP. I just want to get out now....please...

Is that the exit? Yes yes it is.... Its the one on how i got here. Im finally going to leave this place.

Out of no where from all direction these entities dwelling here starts sprouting out....? There's too many...it was already hard dealing with them when i was normal but now on the verge of losing control theres this many?????

As im these thoughts go through my mind. I get attacked ruthlessly and get overwhelmed. Theres simply too many. I cant beat them all.

Am i going to die...here? Just as im about to let these entities take me i remembered i have a way out. Mustering all the strength i had left in i use my only surviving condition "Spider Threads"

I dont know how much time has gone by. I gave up relying on time and logic in this place. My goal is to explore as much as i can right now before i decide to return.

After going through layers after layers after layers after layers ive entered into a strange room. Why strange you say? This room feels different like really different. Its like this room is a world of its own. Its hard to explain. Ive been resting here for some time niw even the entities that were hunting me doesnt dare to enter here. Whats special about his room? Is there something even more horrifying here?

Walking around this room actually feels normal. Its like a normal semi house. Its comfortable... Too comfortable.

Reaching the end i see a singular door. This isn’t some random door. Im getting dangerous senses from it. My instincts are screaming at me to run but why? Whats behind there? Is it the exit? Or is it something else which has been locked away never to come out?

Im curious. Im very curious. No...there’s something definitely behind here now that i think about it. How did i find this place? Why am i the only one who discovered this? How did i exactly come here?

The answers really simple. Ive been influenced. Influenced to come here. To find the reason and to perhaps open this door?

No im going to return. This is enough. I wont act rashly anymore. Im going to return up again, research about my encounters and discoveries and then ill decide on what i should be doing.

Turning back as i prepare to leave suddenly everything starts to become blurry

This is my 27th attempt at writing this documentary. These layers...are distorted. Everything i do doesnt make sense. To be honest nothing is making sense.

The watch is saying ive been here for only 5 hours but my body, my mind, my soul and even my existence is screaming its been years. It feels that way.

The things living here are completely devoid of souls. They do nit have any thinking capabilities. Its like their only purpose is to kill whoever or whatever ventures here. Its become really tiring here. I'm losing my sanity. I want to return but i cant. Its not because im lost..its because Everytime i look back its different. Im in a different place being hunted down. Im just trying to find answers...

These structures...dimensions inside of dimensions...does not seem to be generated "naturally". Who created them? What actually happened here? How did these creatures get in? What are their true purpose?

I want to know....but im confused. Is it really worth it?

.... I may be confused about many things but there is something which im not confused about...that is I'm scared....on what's happening here.

Do not venture too deep inside the basement. Stay in the upper areas where it is safer. I repeat do not venture too deep inside basement. I repeat again do not ventu—

Ive been roaming the basement for quite some time. It really is quite intriguing. This place is something beyond imagination. Its too unrealistic. There must be a reason for this place to exist right? I want to know it. Im curious.

The deeper i venture into the basement the less form of rational life and civilization i see. I mean i understand these places are filled with dangerous irrational entities who's job is to rip you apart. Any sane being would avoid these places.

What...is this? A door..? In the middle of nowhere... Its odd very odd. Where could this possibly lead to? What's written above it? Layer ####.

... I cant pronounce it? No..i am pronouncing it its...just not coming out in words. I cannot explain nor do i understand.

This eerie feeling that...this "door" is giving is terrifyingly... Calm? I have a feeling if i explore this ill have a better understanding of the basement. I mean risks must be taken right?

*So i basically have to reconcile with my mirrored persona in order to advance huh. Well this is a weird world where anything can happen so it isnt something that odd. But still never imagined i would be put in a situation where i need to convince myself*

*Looking towards u/AggravatingPrize9250 i say smiling* "The time has come are you ready?"

*Standing beside the window u/AggravatingPrize9250 replies* "Yes I'm ready. Prepare the mirror."

*After preparing the mirror u/AggravatingPrize9250 uses His abilities to locate and temporarily trap the mirrored persona* "Its done. The rest is upto you. I wish you all the best."

*Smiling i reply* "Thank you."

*Jumping inside the mirror world and reaching the scheduled spot i find a person who is exactly like me. IT's body structure, facial expression and the overall condition is identical to me. The difference is that IT is emitting high level of rage, anger and malice towards me from that bloody covered face*

*Approaching the mirrored persona i say* "Shall we have a chat?"

*Struggling to move the mirrored persona says* "How do i know this is not a trap set by you to subdue me?"

"As fellow narcissists you should know very well i will not do anything that will cause harm to myself. That is also the reason why i trust you wont harm me either. "

*Hearing this the mirrored persona relaxes a little and the restrictions which were there slowly cuts off*

"So how are you doing?", I ask smiling.

" How am I doing?" *The mirrored persona gives of a mocking laugh* "If you disregard the fact that ive been trapped and suffering here since the moment i got my senses as well as keep on dying and reviving I'm doing pretty good." *Getting more serious the mirrored persona continues* "Cut the bullshit. We both know why you are here."

"I was just relaxing the mood a bit. Since its like this now I'll be pretty blunt with you. Reconcile with me so that i can advance."

"I'll be pretty blunt too then. I refuse. The one who should advance should be me not you. You do not deserve it."

*letting out a deep breathe i continue* "Well i thought it would go like this. But i need to advance wont you please help yourself out in this situation? "

"Shut up. You are me but you are also not me. I've been trapped in this place since the moment i could remember. Suffering, dying and then coming back here again and again just to repeat the same cycle while you on the other hand have been roaming in the outside world messing around and having fun. WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY IS IT YOU AND NOT ME? WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN US? WHAT EXACTLY DECIDED THAT I SHOULD SUFFER AND ROT HERE AND YOU SHOULDN’T? " *The mirrored persona continues IT's painful venting with a voice filled with grudge, rage and pure hatred*

*Waiting silently for IT to finish speaking i speak up* " It's really unfortunate that you were chosen but there was nothing I could do about it and screaming wont also get you anywhere. I've been living in the outside world and experienced many things live and know how to deal with them properly. You on the other hand just know everything from my experience. Just experience wont let you survive longer in the outside world. That is why i beleive i should be the one to advance."

"You? Experienced? Haven’t you already been sealed twice already? Is that the worth of your so called experience? I can imagine getting sealed once but twice and back back. How utterly trash your 'experience' truly is." *The mirrored persona laughs mockingly*

"For someone who has been trapped ever since gaining their senses aren’t you being too arrogant? "

"I've been trapped here since i had free will but you were sealed while walking around completely free. Tell me are you really me? That is the complete behaviour that a total bim imitates."

*Im annoyingly good at provocation lampoons inwardly*

*After a heated argument between me and my mirrored persona the situation finally comes to a stalemate. Since we both share the same view and reasons getting to a conclusion seems to be impossible.*

"Since its come down to this i beleive i have no choice unless this. "

*Hearing this the mirrored persona suddenly becomes very wary and takes on a defensive stand preparing for an incoming attack*

"Let's imagine what would happen if you dont agree with me. Firstly i wont be able to advance and be stuck as a Demoness of Despair for the rest of my life and you will be stuck here forever as i wont make another attempt to advance. It's basically a loss loss situation for the both of us. But i think the term 'loss' is more devastating to you than it is to me don’t you agree?"

*Seeing the reaction of my mirrored persona filled with rage and anger i continue smilingly* "Its true that i wont be able to advance but it doesn’t mean that i wont be able to lead a normal life. But you on the other hand will still be trapped here suffering until i perish but i do intend on living a long long life. Think about it logically. Reconciliation with me is the better choice this way we can both be profitable. This is your first and last chance. Any intention of betraying me or attempting to harm me will be caught by me insteadly and I will flee from here never attempting the ritual again."

*Hearing this the mirrored persona replies* " You truly are a fucking sadist..."

"Well as a bum friend of mine said 'Narcissists are often regarded as sadists too'. So what will be your decision? "

*After some moment of silence the mirrored persona replies* "Its not really much of choice. Its either I'll help you or I'll suffer. At the end of the day I'm helping myself. So be it. I'll let you advance." *saying this the mirrored persona lifts up IT's hand for a handshake*

"Thank you for believing in me, Myself." *extends my hand to shake with IT*

*After completing the ritual of reconciling with my mirrored persona. I drink the potion and advance to sequence 3 Demoness of Unaging*

The basement is truly a place which cannot be explained in normal logic and sense.

How can it be this big? How can there be sin light or even moon light underground? How can there be this variations of civilizations and creatures living here?

They all seem to have their own purpose. Existing in this so called basement. Some are hostile and some are friendly. There are also some entities here. Some attack on sight, some attack when attacked and some just likes to watch from affar.

These give eerie feelings from time to time but the overall condition of the world inside the basement is quite beautiful. I can see why people living here doesn’t want to leave and also why they beleive this place is infinitely long with no exits.

But I am not like them. I didn’t come here to live or enjoy the scenic beauty of the basement. I came here to understand and find reasons behind its existence.

Therefore i will continue along my journey documenting things about my exploration and try to find answers inside here.

After receiving alephs power and being able to successfully absorb it I have broken my limitations.

My authority and alephs authority are now one hence this new being shall be considered as one of the most powerful beings in the basement.

With this new power i have decided to venture the basement to find what's hidden here, to know what entities reside here, to uncover how it was formed and most importantly to seek if there is an exit to this place or not...
