Stopping in the middle of a quest with a high difficulty, especially a chain quest, yielded an enormous loss. He would get hexed with a curse difficult to lift, or he could lose precious fortune, accumulated fame, or contribution.
Weed came to a clear decision.
‘Let’s accept.’
The penalty from giving up and the penalty for failing the quest probably don’t differ much.
In worst case scenario, with the Power of Reject Death, he could only lose his life a second time!
He decided to give it a go while preparing for the worst case scenario.
He was able to strengthen his weakening spirit with confidence.
If he was weak, then he needed to be challenged until he gets stronger.
He had sewn buttons onto 500 sets of clothing, and stayed up all night to attach eyes onto dolls!
He just had to further increase the amount of grinding he had to do for the sake of success.
“A long time may have passed, but they will remain as friends who can be depended on. The promised alliance will surely be kept.”
– You have accepted the quest.

Nehalles Metropolis — The capital city of Brent Kingdom, the long-standing enemy of Rosenheim Kingdom.
Peddlers selling fruit called out to players.
“Miss, have you heard about Weed from Rosenheim Kingdom?”
“Huh? Weed?”
Saerin, a Summoner, knew the peddler was just trying to make small talk and didn’t pay any attention. Sometimes NPCs gave out information, but they were rarely helpful!
“If it’s someone from Rosenheim Kingdom… I don’t know any famous Adventurer or Warrior by the name of Weed, are you perhaps talking about Sculptor Weed?”
