'Though it's a bit strange. This quest... Why is it that the rewards for failing appear more enticing than the actual reward itself?'
Just by failing the quest, one would be able to gain a great deal of fame with two top-tier powers in the Mortal Realm. In addition, a connection would be forged between three individuals who all had some form of status.
There was the fact that one would lose two levels; however, such a price was small to pay when forming long-term connections.
Of course, the most notable thing was maxing out one's fame with the Princess of the Fifth Great Clan, Luxia. This was even more so for someone like Izroth.
Izroth still had the SSS-ranked quest Awakening of The Lost Bloodline to complete. While there was plenty of time until the deadline, eventually, he would have to visit the Mother of All Forests.
