“The Oogarooms. A humanly infinite expanse of levels, liminal spaces, to get lost in. If you get here, you may as well make yourself comfortable. 585 years is a long time.”
- The Exogs' Book
A level is any “area” of the oogarooms with unique characteristics and structure. Levels can be dangerous, safe, or unknown. Levels tend to be infinite expanses of usually repetitive terrain and structure, but there are many that do not follow this rule. There are a few different types of levels. The main types are the ring levels. Because the oogarooms are a massive ring, there are inner, middle, and outer ring levels. Outer and inner ring levels tend to be unstable. Levels are numbered based off of their discovery, but about 95% of the time the order corresponds to the physical order of levels in the ring. The numbered levels seem to spiral outwards from the void. The other types of levels are structure and non-numbered levels. Structure levels are small, usually able to be measured in tens of meters instead of the thousands of kilometers that regular levels encapsulate. Structure levels appear on other levels. Non-number levels are levels that cannot be accessed through main strip of the main base or are completely inaccessible from the main base. These levels tend to break up the numbered levels in the middle ring area, or they are floating in the void. In order for something to classify as a level, it must be in the inner, middle, or outer strip of the oogarooms ring, or in the void. This is the reason why the lowlands and upper reality are not considered levels, but separate “-rooms.”
An entity is any anomalous or oogarooms native species of animal, plant, bacteria, or fungus, or really any native living organism. They tend to be aggressive or dangerous, but a select few are friendly. Unlike levels, entities do not have a danger rating, or class. The most common form of entities are humanoids, though many more exist. Entities make up the majority of the diverse biosphere of the oogarooms. Evolution and such things have been shown to occur in the oogarooms. Plants or animals that are inside of the oogarooms but are similar enough to oogan/earthen species are not considered entities, like trees from reality or the many grass species found on outdoor levels. It is advised to be careful around entities.
An item is any object, anomalous or not, that is specific to the oogarooms and has at least two of the following characteristics. A) it will “spawn” randomly, B) it has special effects not possible in reality, or C), it can allow one to hop between realities or levels. Two requirements must be met or else things like bread (which spawns commonly on level 1) would be considered an item. Any object that originated from reality and then gain anomalous properties are not considered to be oogarooms items. Most items provide weird effects such as height differences or immunity to certain diseases.
In 2035, a scientific research facility called SR04-3 started research on reality and time warping. Multiple time warping experiments were successfully executed; however, one went wrong. This test was called MDHLS-1. The machine being used fell through the floor and scientists thought it was just sent to a different time. On test OGRMS-3 of reality warping, the MDHLS-1 machine clipped back into reality and exploded. 12 scientists were injured in the explosion. After the rubble was cleared, a glowing white portal was discovered. This portal leads to the oogarooms. With this portal open, many more opened in unstable areas of reality. The time machine caused the portals to open at any time from 1700 BCE to 6800 AD. They are sent to an alternate reality where the date is always Jan 1st, year 1. At this point the oogarooms were small and only 56 levels and going past level 56 would send you to level one. Then test OGRMS-4 was executed, and the next 50 levels were able to accessed, but they were much more dangerous and unstable, causing less low-class levels. (again). It is believed the oogarooms has quintillions of levels, but they will probably be too unstable to explore around level 500, due to the instability. However, SR04-3 may conduct more experiments to make these later levels more stable, and possibly even make it to the final (theorized) level: Level 8,000,000,000,000,000,000, or eight quintillion. This is the supposed final level, as the hub is 800 quadrillion miles long, and each level door is spaced 1/10th of a mile apart on only one side. It is theorized the reason that these tests needed to be done in order to access the oogarooms despite proof already existing in the Blue Rock scripture is that the oogarooms were sealed away by the deities to trap the colossal and anything else that may be lurking in its dark depths. As each test was executed, it was like cutting a rope holding back a bunch of balloons. Slow at first, then getting faster until it snapped, and the balloons poured out. The oogarooms were just a prison. An endless expanse of differentiating unstable corridors meant to hold something in. Entities are good at heart, only trying to stop things from disrupting the balance. When SR04-3 found this place, it was just an accident. They found this place, an amazing place, that had been locked away for multiple millennia. The collision of the realities caused instability throughout the original reality. People began disappearing without a cause, causing unrest. Groups of lost souls who ended up in the oogarooms began making bases and groups. OBM was a last resort in case the thing got out of its original secluded level. This thing is named the colossal of the oogarooms. It was locked away by an unknown force and locked away in this pocket reality deemed the oogarooms, (comment from Jim: why are you calling this a pocket reality its hundreds of millions of times bigger than normal reality) as if it was loose, it would destroy all. Few have seen the colossal and lived. Very few. Some of the only survivors were Dooshbag and Marcus, who were able to escape the colossal after an encounter deep in the hub, by level jumping. All major groups have agreed to limit travel too far into the hub or other levels, so as not to lead the colossal back to level 1. The colossal is reportedly somewhere around level 350. Many groups are trying to lead it deeper into the oogarooms, to prevent from reaching level 1, and henceforth reaching reality. It is an unanswered question as to how the old force was able to make the oogarooms so unstable. As for the , the people here at CCOEG and SR04-3 do not have a definitive answer. A book was found on level 1 that was found to date back around the time believed that the colossal was locked up in the oogarooms. It is about a tribe called the Exogs who banished the colossal here. Another strange thing, in the oogan religion, the Exogs and colossals are mentioned in the first chapter. They were sent to a place called the “flawed reality”. Apparently, reality used to be roamed and dominated by these creatures called the colossals. The “strongest” one, the colossal of realms was sent here, and we named it the colossal of the oogarooms. After the leader was banished, the rest of the colossals vanished, maybe they were also sent to the oogarooms. It is unclear how exactly the colossal was sent to the oogarooms, but it is clear that we were not meant to find it. After the journey to level 8 quintillion failed, SRO4-3 and the CCOEG began working on a teleporting machine and a hyper fast vehicle. In future when they are fully developed, they will be used to hopefully get to level 8,000,000,000,000,000,000.
The Oogarooms
Soon after the enemy pushback to level 15, the CCOEG and SRO4-3 knew something was happening. They needed answers. They created the vacivus-inanus division and gear 5 years after full main base contamination. They took 3 of the top division leaders for the CCOEG. They were Llid, Adokad, and Noynatrad. The three used a teleporter to get to the level 330 entrance in the hub. They were surrounded by oogas and boogas. As far as the eye can see, just entities. They used a portal gun to send all the entities to sometime in the past in some random level. It turned out to be level 31. They used the armored vehicle they were in and a special engine to go at mach 238133509.552 through the halls. It was a mostly steady drive until about 4000 miles to the supposed end of the tunnel. They slowed down a bit as the entities reduced to none a while ago. The trip had taken about 5 years by this point. JOE UPDATE! (Only real gamers get the reference). But, by human error, something was bound to happen. Cruising slowly at about Mach 5, they would get there in about an hour. 30 minutes passed. The vehicle was made to sustain great force, but it began to creak. N: “do you guys hear that?” L: “yeah, but what’s making it?” A: “I mean technically the CCOEG, and SRO4-3 did ensure our safety, but could they have taken everything into consideration?” L: “no, probably not.” A: “whatever.” 15 minutes passed. 10 minutes until the vehicle slowed to a stop. Suddenly, disaster struck. N: “THE ALARM IS GOING OFF!” A: “WHAT DO WE DO!” N: “HOW SHOULD I KNOW!?” The vehicle was slowing, but not fast enough. The vehicle was knocked a few degrees off straight and in turn was heading fast to the side of main base. A: “IMMA RELAY A MESSAGE TO THE MAIN DIVISION.” -begin recording- “HELP!! WHAT DO WE DO!? THE VEHICLE IS ABOUT TO CRASH!!-” -audio cut_ end recording- Noynatrad died from the impact. They were just around 40 miles from the end. Adokad had a starshard impale her. Only Llid survived, albeit with major injuries. Almost as a gift from the gods, Llid found a safety NNL. He was safe, but since the others were dead, they couldn't be healed. Llid rested there for a while but left after a day. He noticed every mile he went it got darker, unlike the rest of the main base. Luckily, he was able to recover the stabilizing/portal gun and continue on. Pieces of the main base appeared to break off from time to time as if the starshard stabilizing wasn’t working enough. Eventually he made it. The only one to make it to the end of this god-awful place. And all the pieces here were gone, as it was just an empty skybox of stars with no gravity, no light, no sound. Eventually, just a doorway. No different from the literal quintillions of other ones he had seen. He went through. Greeted with a cold gray cave, nothing welcoming here. Two doors, one back to the hub, hell. And one to simply level 1. “The oogarooms aren’t a loop, they are an increasingly decrepit tunnel, right?” Then, out of nowhere a cat entity came, it was wearing a gold collar with a charm on the end, which was a crescent shape and made of emerald, with the name Ynnif carved into the back. It ran out from a dark tunnel off into the cave, pawed at Llid, and ran off. “what’s the worst that can happen? These entities are of the few that are peaceful to lostsouls.” Llid followed the cat farther into level 8QN. It was just an infinite maze of caves, he thought, but it wasn’t. Llid reported feeling peace while in this level, and any damage on his body healed. He didn’t need to eat or sleep while here. On the multiple day journey, he had been following the cat through the level, he came across many glowing doorways that seemed to lead to random levels. He just hoped the cat was leading him somewhere safe. There were random objects scattered around the level, everything ranging from bricks to shoes. Eventually, Llid turned a corner and was led past a mud brick, a chunk of green concrete, an amethyst crystal, a test tube, a chunk of snow, a book, a cardboard box, a pillow, a white sphere, and lastly an old beam of wood. Then Llid turned another corner to find another white doorway. This one was just a starry portal. The cat went through. He decided to follow. He saw a symbol carved into the wall which was later decoded to say “ocelight”. It may be the name of the power that created the oogarooms. It is also the name given to the blue rock deity in oogan religion. Once Llid went through, he reported not being able to use his senses, but he felt himself falling extremely quickly, and felt himself hit the ground, feel a sharp pain, and nothing. He regained his senses and found himself sitting in level an ending with Ynnif. He decided to return to the oogarooms. Llid moved on to be the leader of the CCOEG, with Ynnif.
The date was 3/23/2078. A member of the verdant group was out searching for resources when they stumbled upon a house-like structure. These were common, but something was off. There was no way to get inside. They used a farming tool nearby to break open some wood boards on the side. There was just a small table inside with some rolled up scrolls on it. They got some other people, and they carried the scrolls back. This was unlike anything found on level 2, and everyone was confused. They unrolled one of the scrolls and found plans for a horrible deed. Tygeno (the leader) contacted the nearest CCOEG group immediately. Jump ahead in time: at the CCOEG headquarters, Ynnif and Llid were assessing the scrolls. There was a lot of crossed out info on the scrolls, but they figured out some crucial information. They knew a large group of people would be attacking the main base and trying to take the core, release the colossal, and then escape before they could be punished. The CCOEG underestimated how many people were going to attack. Three days before the supposed attack. The date was 4/7/2078. When Llid woke up, Ynnif had disappeared. Llid didn't think much of it. Ynnif wanders off occasionally, but Llid was worried because of the attack. Anyways, the CCOEG groups decided to bring the Oogan Faction back because They might need it. The Oogan Faction is made up of the CCOEG, SR04-3, The verdant group, Some of OITG, and some of Goodgroup1000. (As you will see later the TOTG joined the attackers in this war). Back at the main base, most troops were positioned in main base already. One day later and Ynnif still had not returned. Later in the day, someone came. They said: “Our group is declaring war on your faction; in case you haven’t found out.” They were shot and killed right there. They apparently had Ynnif’s collar with them. Which was confusing. Now, the date is 4/10/2078. The attack began with a specialized group of people from the Oppugnator Legion (TOTG and Attackers) Tunneling under the main base and breaking into a living space at the far end of the level. The two people in the room at the time were taken hostage and most likely killed. They grabbed some stuff and moved to a more optimal spot, then kept digging. They hit a ventilation system and followed it to the entrance to the vault where the core was kept. Then, Chaos. The People in the Oogan Legion spotted the attackers, and all hell broke loose. The Attackers managed to build a wall using a device they stole from SR04-3 and used tons of manpower to just smash into the vault. They got the core. The people there ran back to the tunnel, and just in time as the Oogan Legion members broke around the wall. But, unluckily for the Oppugnator faction, there were people waiting for them. They tried to escape, but they were trapped. This was when the rest of the Oppugnator Legion got here. More chaos. Bullets flying everywhere. Nobody knew where the core was. Death and destruction everywhere. A quote from a survivor: “It was the most chaotic thing I have experienced. I managed to get away, but not without injury. My left leg was bleeding out rapidly. I’m surprised I'm still here to be saying this.” There were so many people that people were getting pushed into the level entrances and smaller battles were happening. People were digging holes into the walls to hide. People were dying like crazy. The core ended up on level 1 and was lost. The Oppugnator Faction retreated temporarily. Apparently, a small group of lostsouls came to the noise to see what it was and found the core. They walked into the CCOEG holding the core. The person holding the core said: “yo, we found this zappy thing on level one”. This caused a ton of panic and word got out to the Oppugnator Faction, and they sent a message to the CCOEG. “Send us the core or we kill Ynnif.” “You promise he will come back unharmed?” “Yes.” then the CCOEG thought: wait, wtf does this actually do for us? Turn our lights on?! So, they sent the core over and the Oppugnator Faction held their promise and sent Ynnif back to the CCOEG. This was a big mistake. The colossal had been banished to the void, but it would soon return. The Oppugnator Faction smashed the core open in the main base, releasing a portal to the void where the colossal of the oogarooms came through. Everyone in the Oppugnator Faction fled through another portal to reality. Only one of them was killed. The CCOEG sent a message on the base receivers that said not to enter the main base. Just a month later, someone wandered into the main base, and reported the colossal was not there. Nobody knows where it went. It is theorized it is on level one, but there is debate. The date was 5/18/2078 at the end of this story. Basically, just a side note, but after the Oppugnator Faction escaped the oogarooms, many people wanted revenge and went in with them to try to kill the Oppugnator Faction. Only one person was hunted down and killed.
The date is 5/30/2078. A small group of 4 people set out to try to re-banish the colossal. CCOEG was, and still isn't, sure about where the colossal was. They assumed it was on level 1, considering that it’s the closest level to the Hub, where the Core was destroyed. This group started the expedition to capture the colossal on 6/2 of this year. The group left the main base at 6:00 am with 2 base receivers. They walked all day. Nothing. Walked for all of 5/31/2078. Still nothing. 6/1/2078. The group spotted a strange sight. An entire building was found smashed to bits. The way the building was destroyed could not have been done by humans, oogans, or entities. The group assumed this was the Colossal of Realms. They attempted to report the information back to the Main Base, but the connection wasn’t working. This was extremely unusual. The group got worried. “What do we do??!” said one of them. The noise caused something to awaken. The floor around them started shaking, and they were thrown off-balance. They started running. The thing that was chasing them was the Colossal of Realms. 2 of the 4 people died. The 2 survivors, Jytop and Fiel, were finally able to contact CCOEG. “We found it!” said Jytop. “Good, is everyone ok?” said the CCOEG radio operator. “No, Nhilid and Djide died. Have they respawned at level 1 yet?” said Feil. “No, we haven't found them,” said the operator. “Whatever. It takes a few days to find anyone who has respawned. If they aren't back in a week, tell us.” said Jytop. The two remaining members of the group kept walking. They attempted to find a way back to the Main Base. About 5 hours later, they found a way back to the main base. They needed to get Ynnif to recapture the colossal. Unfortunately, Ynnif was not in good health. The people who had kidnapped them had hurt them too. This was not good. Ynnif was the only known entity capable of trapping the colossal. They couldn’t get members of CCOEG to help neutralize it either. The attack on the main division in the hub had left the base devastated. They would have to wait. A week later, on 6/8/2078, CCOEG had to try to capture it. The colossal had made its way to level 70. The mall was in chaos. CCOEG launched an attack on the colossal with Ynnif in the lead. They found it easily as it left a path of destruction. The attack began with the group trying to tranquilize it somehow, which obviously didn’t do anything. It continued to wreak havoc on the level, until Ynnif powered up a blast and neutralized himself and the colossal. From there, the CCOEG was able to contain it as it didn’t have any power. The Colossal and Ynnif had lost their powers, but where did it go...
