The screen went black. Then, the rhythmic thrum of a heartbeat pulsed through his headphones. The logo faded in, accompanied by the haunting strain of a lone fiddle. Elias wasn't in a swivel chair anymore. He was standing on a ridge at dawn.

When the progress bar hit 100%, the folder popped open. He bypassed the README and the DirectX redistributables, his mouse hovering over the icon of the howling wolf. Click.

The digital wind howled through the folders of the Downloads directory, a barren landscape of installers and forgotten PDFs. At the center of this static-filled tundra sat the monolith: WolfQuest.Anniversary.Edition.v1.0.9f.rar . WolfQuest.Anniversary.Edition.v1.0.9f.rar

But when he glanced out his window at the city lights, for a split second, they looked like the glowing eyes of a pack waiting for him to return to the hunt.
