Chapter 177 Brand
"Yes, a brand," Roland confirmed. "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 become a full-time 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 name."

Leon crossed his arms. "But what if you guys mess up? If something goes wrong, wouldn't people come after me?"
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 name will be registered under the House of Creation, meaning 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 something that represents me."
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 become 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 name was added to the guild's records.
[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 parchment.
Leon simply showed his Golden Badge to her.
The receptionist's eyes widened slightly before nodding. "Very well, give me a moment." She registered the quest under his name 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.
Meanwhile, Milim and her maids, Naval and Liliana, took on an exploration quest for a newly spawned dungeon, charting its layout and identifying potential dangers.
