What was funny was that when I decided to comprehend the rest of my Lightning Shards, I came across a unique problem, and I did not know if I should laugh or cry, just because I could not access the room with the shards.
Like the rest of my abilities and titles, they were sealed behind a weird wall, and this was the final stroke that I needed to push my mind to focus. I stopped hesitating about my next actions as I reached for the mechanism of the loop deep inside my soul, and I blinked in confusion.
I did not think I fully understood the nature of the loop, but its functions were rather straightforward: it brought my soul back to a fixed point in time whenever I died, and those points were called Temporal Anchors.
When the Sovereign of the Stars kidnapped me and placed me in a tank for my soul to be eaten by a Soul Flayer, that action had somehow satisfied the requirements needed for me to solve my first World Quest to stop the Pale Matron from rising.
