"Yes, a brand," Roland confird. "It can be as simple as your first initial, like an 'L' for Leon, or a logo representing you. It helps establish your own potion brand in the market. If people like your potions, they'll start buying only the ones you create for their unique effects."
Leon tilted his head. "But I'm not planning on creating potions regularly. I mostly focus on ascending the tower."
Roland nodded. "I know. You're aiming to reach higher levels, not beco a full-ti alchemist. But having your own brand is still a great idea."
Leon frowned slightly. "So, I wouldn't have to personally make each potion?"
"Exactly," Roland said with a grin. "Once you create a potion, we can mass-produce it and sell it under your na."

Leon crossed his arms. "But what if you guys ss up? If sothing goes wrong, wouldn't people co after ?"
Roland chuckled. "No, no. You'll only be recognized as the creator of the potion, not the manufacturer. If there's a problem, the Alchemist Guild will handle complaints. Your na will be registered under the House of Creation, aning your role is simply the inventor, not the producer."
He pulled out a pen and a registry book, flipping it open. "Now, just sign here to officially register your alchemy brand. If you already have a shop or a sigil, we can add that too, but it's not necessary."
Leon nodded and took the pen, then began sketching his logo. It was simple yet symbolic—a magic staff gripped between sharp fangs, representing both his Ascender identity and his mage class.
Roland raised an eyebrow as he examined the design. "A fitting emblem. It gives off a strong, mystical vibe."
Roselia smirked. "Simple, but it carries weight. People will recognize it easily."
Leon shrugged. "I just wanted sothing that represents ."
Roland nodded in approval. "Alright then, with this logo, your alchemy brand is officially registered. From now on, any potion you create can be sold under this mark. If your creations beco famous, this symbol will hold great value in the market."
Roland took the Arcane Seal and placed it on the registry, officially confirming Leon's status as a Creator Alchemist. The registry crystal glowed briefly, and his na was added to the guild's records.
"That will be all. Next ti you visit, you'll enter as a Creator Alchemist of the guild," Roland said as he handed Leon a gold-etched emblem, signifying his new rank.
Afterward, a short ceremonial announcent was made, formally acknowledging Leon's registration. Once it was over, Leon let out a sigh.
"Who would've thought that becoming a Creator Alchemist would involve so much paperwork?" he muttered, rubbing his temples.
Roland chuckled. "Alchemists and Blacksmiths are two of the most powerful professions in the Tower. It's natural that there are strict procedures."
Roselia nodded. "Since you're officially registered, you'll be recognized across major cities. But more importantly, you can now sell your potions under your own brand and take on high-tier alchemy quests."
Leon stretched. "Sounds good, but for now, let's focus on our main goal."
With their registration completed, they returned to the inn. After resting and preparing their supplies, they decided to take on a new quest. With five months of free ti before the next Legacy Trial, they had plenty of opportunities to grow stronger and gather more rare materials.
The next morning, Leon and Roselia visited the Adventurer's Guild to pick a quest. The guild hall was bustling with rcenaries, mages, and warriors looking for work.
Leon glanced at the quest board, his eyes skimming over various missions ranging from monster subjugation to resource gathering.
"What are you thinking?" Roselia asked, standing beside him.
Leon tapped his chin. "We have five months of free ti, so we should pick sothing worthwhile. Either a high-reward quest or sothing that helps us gather rare materials for alchemy and forging."
Roselia nodded. "Agreed. We also need to increase our combat experience. Being a Creator Alchemist is great, but battle skills are just as important."
Leon's gaze stopped on a gold-rank quest pinned separately from the others. The parchnt was bordered with silver runes, a sign that the request ca directly from the guild's high council.
Alchemists have their own quest ranking system, similar to adventurer rankings. Their mber ranks progress from Iron Grey → Bronze → Silver → Gold → Platinum → Diamond, with even higher ranks beyond that.
As a Creator Alchemist, Leon received a Gold Emblem, which is usually earned after 50 years of service in the Alchemist Guild. The more new potions he creates, the higher his rank will go. This also applies to their quest system, where a Gold-rank quest is considered extrely difficult and prestigious.
[Quest: Ruins of Zekrath]
Rank: Gold
Objective: Investigate the ruins of an ancient alchemical civilization and retrieve the Philosopher's Ash, a rare alchemical catalyst.
Reward: 5,000 Alchemist Points, an exclusive alchemical relic, and 1,000 guild contribution.
Warning: The ruins are believed to be cursed, and several expeditions have never returned.
"I will take this," Leon mumbled, picking up the quest and heading to the registration desk.
"You need to be part of the Alchemist Guild to accept Alchemist-exclusive quests," the receptionist said, glancing at the quest parchnt.
Leon simply showed his Golden Badge to her.
The receptionist's eyes widened slightly before nodding. "Very well, give a mont." She registered the quest under his na and then handed it back.
"You can now take this quest. You have three months to complete it, or you will be delisted," she explained.
Leon nodded and stepped aside, waiting for the others to choose their own quests. They had decided to split up and take different quests according to their own specialties, planning to reunite after finishing their respective tasks.
After a month, they all returned, each carrying a completed quest with them.
Roselia had chosen an alchemy material-gathering quest, collecting rare herbs and minerals.
Roman had opted to explore an undead dungeon, battling through hordes of undead creatures.
