This is my entry for Phenomecon2023 yet the very first page I posted on this site. But this is actually not the first piece of mine. iccaarus translated some of my work from the CN site like Level 610 and Level 712.

I always think of the Backrooms as a living hell for wanderers. Everything they do is a compromise. Imagine if the Backrooms is filled with large cities built by humans, which, from my perspectives, is a boring copy of the real world. You just can't make their lives as easy as those in the Frontrooms. And what's the opposite of construction? Plants, I guess. So I wrote this. Hope you guys enjoy it.

I'm not a native English speaker. So there may be some SPaG errors. Feel free to point them out!

By the way, you might be wondering who made the phenomenon rating system (component). It's me. This component is posted on the CN site and maybe I will consider making an English version for EN site.

i love this concept, but it needed more SPaG crit.

i normally would still upvote, but you literally said:

his mouths, anuses,

you're normally only supposed to have one of those. get some SPaG crit for this thing and update it!

You promised you'd take me there again some day… but you never did.

sorry, my bad.

This is because this part was originally:

The patients start to have trouble breathing, talking and swallowing. A few stems and leaves stretch out from their mouths, anuses, ears, noses and even eyeholes.

But on second thought, I think it would be better to have only one patient, because there won't be many HBC sufferers and it's easier to write this way. But I forgot to change those words to singular forms.

Thank you for pointing it out. I've updated it.

Super cool concept, which can be perfectly combined with pictures. If possible, I want to give two UV.

Eltrac 12 May 2023 23:04

Thank you, Baiyuleyu.

But I think that won't be possible or necessary.

Thank you, WarlikeYak44369.

I've actually never read Entity 118 and after I do I find it really interesting too.

Nice article, good idea, good execution. Also was that an undertale reference at the end?

---

does anyone see these forum signatures, also why does this have more space than the description

Re: +1

Eltrac 12 May 2023 23:09

Thank you, Wrongapple.

Yes, it is an undertale reference. Actually, there's also a DST reference and a PVZ reference. I'm more than happy to see someone pointing these out.

Also, cool name and profile picture by the way.

Summary Episode 6: Cancer But It's Natural

(account deleted) 13 May 2023 10:21

Summary:

This is a type of cancer that can make an entire building become damaged due to plants growing in it. There are 4 types of plants that can grow. This cancer can also affect humans by converting them into trees.

This phenomenon reminds me of that one rumor that says that eating watermelon seeds makes a watermelon grow in your stomach

Thank you, Aaron92.

But I have to correct you: Those four types are not about this phenomenon itself. They're actually four different kinds of plants.

Anyway, I'm glad that you like it.

Eltrac,

This hydra of creativity, this Liminal Echo, grows day by day, watered by our tears and fertilized by our fears. You just proved that.

+1 for you!
