Monday arrived like a guillotine.
The pressure campaign launched at 8:03 a.m.
Kasia seeded the first anonymous posts on three major indie-author forums and two Reddit subs. Carefully worded. No direct accusations just screenshots of clause 7.12b circled in red, paired with questions like:
"Is this normal? Fistoria can claim your entire world-building IP forever if you ever breach TOS?"
Within forty minutes the threads had traction. Upvotes. Comments. Screenshots spreading to Twitter.
By 10:00 a.m. Joanna had filed the pre-emptive complaint in Luxembourg through a proxy firm. Nothing flashy just enough paperwork to make Fistoria's legal department twitch.
I watched the metrics from my office.
Chronos Imperium held #1.
But the betrayal arc was still rippling. Some readers were leaving one-star reviews: "Author went too dark. Dropping." Others were rabid: "This is the best twist in years. MORE."
Ecosystem Awareness pulsed.
