Not open
Chapter one is free and will stay free. This is not chapter one.
The rest of the draft goes two ways. You can take the whole book right now and decide yourself what it is worth, and nothing is a permitted answer. Or you can become a beta reader, which costs the same nothing and asks considerably more of you.
Already a beta reader?
Give the address you applied with. Nothing to remember, no password, and it only has to be done once per browser.
Never applied? Apply to be a beta reader. Chapter one is open to everyone either way.
Applied already, on another device? Give the same email again and this browser is let back in. Otherwise, chapter one is still exactly where it was.
This book is a living document. This book is published sequentially, and sporadicaly. This book is a BETA-Version. Beta, means that many things will change. Chapter names will change. Chapter order will change. Chapters will be deleted. Chapters will be added. Nothing is certain.
Thank you for supporting this project. For spending your time on it. I love you for it!

One line is plenty. It goes straight to Dmitri and it is the reason the next chapter gets written.
