Leo tried to Alt+F4. Nothing. Ctrl+Alt+Del. The screen remained. Then the game loaded—not a campaign, not a skirmish map. A single-player match on a custom map he had never seen: TimeCrystal_Protocol.bga .

The map was a perfect grid. No resources. No cities. In the center stood a single, unremovable player: username . And at the top of the screen, a chat log that was already populated—dated entries going back years: [2019-03-12] User: Abandoned_Fix_King: Uploading RoN-Fix-V1. Let’s see who bites. [2019-03-14] User: TimeCrystal: Don’t. You don’t understand what lives in the generic handler. [2020-11-02] User: SilentMike: V2 worked great! Thanks! (Then, six hours later): My desktop background changed. It’s just the Throne Room. And it’s watching me. [2021-07-19] User: NostalgiaLane: The bridge broke.

[Bridge] TimeCrystal signature detected. Purging… Purge failed. Leo’s blood chilled. TimeCrystal . The user who said “Don’t.” The console kept writing: [Bridge] TimeCrystal is not a user.
