I'm not really sure you want to go in this way. I won't stop you, but... you're looking for him, right? It isn't like he has a lot of good memories this way. I'm not sure you'll find what you're looking for.
Be careful, then. You might be in over your head here. This place hasn't been touched by much corruption yet. But it is full of unpleasant things that I'm not sure have a clear fix.
Maybe you can figure something out that he hasn't, though.
[ You enter the Photoshoot Studio. It's a huge room, and… so white it practically feels prismatic and glowing, from wall to wall, with a large drape of backdrop covering one end of the room to make it as formless and featureless as possible. A sea of endless possibility… or maybe a discomfiting void. But here, you can be anyone a photographer cares to dress you up as. A rack of rental costumes sits behind the camera, out of sight but key to putting together the illusion. Sequins and beads glitter under the bright light, like they’re so ready to be photographed that the flash bulbs of cameras are already going off.
There's a small vanity area with makeup—both conventional and with some exciting options, like full metallic body paint—and a mirror, for getting ready for your close-up. And as you walk around, the lighting rigs across the ceiling seem to… follow you? It's no surprise, right? After all, you're the star of the show while you're here, and everything in this room seems to focus on you.
This is a dead end; you can only go South from here. Or... you can attempt a sanity roll to get a 15 and leave the 'Basement' of the game tower... ]
[ The building shakes a bit with the explosion beneath but it--- sure does look like Susanoo blew up the basement of the game tower! Mission accomplished. ]
No matter where you are you feel it, causing you to topple to the ground unless you’re able to find purchase upon something. A low, deep rumble sounds from beneath the earth. The sky darkens and the air becomes thick with unease- a sudden weight hanging upon each person’s heart and threatens to overwhelm them with despair.
Suddenly, one of the men from within Hakuryuu village from before appears, and everyone-- including Izanagi, who is elsewhere in the heart can see one another... like a ghostly image. ]
Unitmates and friend of Lord Hakuryuu-! It is urgent- The corruption has begun to break through our protections and we can no longer hold it at bay-! It is coming.

. . . I'm real.
Well. As real as anything in White Snake's heart.
Re: GAME TOWER
That just means you are Levi-oniisan. Or a part of him.
Anyway, allow us through.

Re: GAME TOWER
I don't think you'll find a true source of it, because it's taken root and spread itself throughout the whole of the heart.
The main source will likely find you, first.
