It was a string of gibberish to the uninitiated, but to Elias, it was a holy relic. It was the Castlevania Anniversary Collection , a digital preservation of the vampire-slaying epics that had defined his childhood. He had found it on a flickering mirror link on Ziperto, a site that felt like a digital back alley—crowded with pop-ups for "hot singles" and dubious "system cleaners."
