In the nightmare conjured by the Soul Flayer, anytime I reached for my Status Screen, I was denied, and for a long while in that nightmare, I did not even know that I had a screen.
I tentatively reached for it, not knowing if any new complication might arise, but my fears, thankfully, did not have any teeth, and the familiar blue screen bloomed in front of my eyes… and I forgot how to breathe.

[ World Quest — Stop the Pale Matron from rising: COMPLETE ][ Status: SUCCESS ]
I did not trust my eyes, and so I read it again, and the status screen did not lie; I had completed the World Quest… in my sleep?
"From the moment you met the shadow of the Sovereign, you did not perish, and the Matron does not rise this turn," the Hollow Avatar said, clearing up my surprise. "You bought the world its year, since the Sovereign did not proceed with his plans, I believe he wants to get rid of you as a threat before he ends the world."
