When did you first notice Dracula had placed a curse on you?

A series of images. 1 of 7.
White text on a black-to-white gradient reads:
"It is easier to see the signs now, in hindsight, but I did not make the connection for years. It was only when the spirit of the Vampire Killer spoke to me that it was confirmed.

Before then…"

It is easier to see the signs now, in hindsight, but I did not make the connection for years. It was only when the spirit of the Vampire Killer spoke to me that it was confirmed.

Before then…

A sketch illustration depicting Simon Belmont as he appears in Castlevania 1. He is fighting in a dynamic, mid-movement stance, with his whip encircling him. He has injuries on his face and arm. He looks concentrated.

Over the image is a gradient from purple to blue.

Simon's monologue reads:
"It began with nightmares.

Some made me relive my fight with Dracula in perfect clarity..."

It began with nightmares. Some made me relive my fight with Dracula in perfect clarity...

The image has a gradient from red to black. To the left, there is a silhouette of Simon and Dracula (in his second, monstrous form.) Dracula is posed behind Simon, and his claws have torn through Simon's torso from behind, emerging from his chest. Simon's silhouette is open-mouthed. Blood sputters from the wound.

Simon's monologue continues:
"...including the pain from the injuries he inflicted upon me."

...including the pain from the injuries he inflicted upon me.

The image is very dark. It is difficult to see, but there is a very rough sketch of Simon laying down, craning his chin up, with hands at his throat. His teeth are grit.

His monologue continues:
"In others, I experienced my death by suffocation or drowning.

Others… blurred the lines of my conscious reality."

In others, I experienced my death by suffocation or drowning.

Others… blurred the lines of my conscious reality.

White text on a black-and-red gradient background reads:
"His sinister voice tainted my mind with each passing night. I assumed it was borne from trauma from our confrontation, and I tried to deal with it privately."

A sketch illustration depicting Simon and Selena Belmont. Simon is seated at the edge of their bed, with his head in his hand, hunched over. He's drenched with sweat.

Selena is behind him, with her hand on his back.

The image is overlayed with a gold-to-grey gradient.

Simon's monologue reads:
"But I reached a point where that was no longer possible."

But I reached a point where that was no longer possible.

White text upon a white-to-black gradient reads:
"As the years passed, I was mentally and physically worn down, leaving me vulnerable for the curse to worsen."

As the years passed, I was mentally and physically worn down, leaving me vulnerable for the curse to worsen.
