Number World (電燈, Light) is one of the twelve original locations accessible directly from the Nexus.
Features
Number World resembles an indoor area characterized by confusing hallways and long numbers stretching across the floor, ranging from 0 to 236,800,954,213,315,784. It is one of the more unsettling original locations, partially due to some of the areas that are accessed from it, the multiple faces that decorate the walls, and its implied vastness due to its scrolling background being an image of the world's map itself. The music in this world is made up of low-pitched bell noises.
Main Room
The main room is fairly large, with multiple notable points of interest. At the bottom of the main area is a river, where a character named Steve 'Leif' Kareha roams. North of the world's entrance are several Wheelies, one of which blocks the Stabbing Room. In the southeastern section of the main room is a door to Lamp World and a special Zippertile that may occasionally look unhappy. Stabbing this Zippertile with the Knife effect will lead to the Number World Stairway. West of the main area is a door to the world's Bed Room.
The Bed Room
The Bed Room, as its name states, is full of beds. Some of them are occupied while others are not, though only one of the beds is accessible, which is in the center of the fifth row. This bed has a 1/5 chance of sending Madotsuki to the Staircase of Hands once slept in. In the southeastern corner is a Zippertile vomiting blood, which can be interacted with to go to Guillotine World.
Walking near the beds is a single Toriningen. Stabbing this Toriningen with the Knife effect and then heading for the third closet from the left in the row found above the beds will lead to Mini Hell. Getting caught by this Toriningen instead will send you to one of two variants of the ああああああああ, one of which takes you to an isolated section of Lamp World.
The Stabbing Room
The Stabbing Room is found in the north section of the main Number World room. A single Wheelie blocks the door to this room and must be moved using either the Cat or Knife effects. Upon entering, the player will find it packed with identical cycloptic Wheelies. The Knife effect can be used to clear them out of the way, which will automatically make them shuffle around faster when the effect is simply equipped.
Upon clearing the lower part of the room, a blue landscape model resembling a mask can be found, which makes a unique noise when stepped on. other than this, there is no reward for clearing the room other than a bit of yen.
The Stairway
The entrance to the stairway is not always available and appears at random chance every dream session. The entrance can be found through an unhappy-looking Zippertile in the southeastern corner of the main room, who will make a unique noise when interacted with. When this Zippertile is in this state, stabbing it with the Knife effect will make it scream before vomiting out blood, forming a doorway in the wall.
The area beyond the Zippertile is a strange empty with what appears to be nothing but a stairway. A background resembling Mesoamerican artwork appears in the background. As Madotsuki progresses through the stairway, she will encounter KyuuKyuu-kun, who is happily rubbing the stairway railing. Beyond KyuuKyuu-kun is a door identical to the one in Madotsuki's Room, which will prompt the FACE event when opened.

Trivia
- The Nexus door that leads to Number World originally lead to an early incarnation of the Lamp World in old versions, complete with music that isn't present in newer versions. Number World was eventually fully implemented in version 0.08, relegating a redesigned iteration of the Lamp World to a subarea within it.
- Ones of the rooms that Madotsuki is trapped in during the ああああああああ event has faces. Some fans have interpreted these faces to resemble Monoe and Monoko, or possibly the two Sewer Drawings found in the Sewers' Docks path.
- The main Number World room (the one entered from The Nexus) is a looping area, though this can never be experienced due to the room being enclosed. However, the Noclip Glitch allows for the player to loop around the area.
- This is not the case for The Bed Room or The Stabbing Room.
