The receptionist smiled politely, adjusting her posture as she began to exin. "The Adventurer''s Guild uses a tiered ranking system to categorize its members based on their skill level, experience, and achievements. It helps to ensure that quests are assigned appropriately, minimizing unnecessary risks."


    She gestured to a chart hanging on the wall, depicting various metals and gemstones arranged in ascending order.


    "The ranks are as follows:


    Bronze: This is the starting rank for all new adventurers. It grants ess to low-tier quests, such as basic hunting or resource gathering. It''s a probationary stage where adventurers prove their reliability andpetence.


    Silver: Once you''vepleted enough quests and shownpetence, you''ll advance to this rank. Silver adventurers handle mid-tier quests, including beast subjugation, escort missions, and small-scale exploration.


    Gold: This is where things be serious. Gold-ranked adventurers are often veterans with substantialbat experience. They are entrusted with high-tier quests, such as eliminating dangerous beasts, escorting nobles, or delving into perilous ruins.


    tinum: tinum is the elite rank. Adventurers at this level are highly respected and can undertake national-level quests, such as participating in military campaigns, investigating major threats, or leading expeditions into uncharted territories.


    Mithril: Reserved for legends in the making. Mithril adventurers are few and far between, tasked with world-altering quests like sealing catastrophic monsters, uncovering ancient secrets, or resolving kingdom-wide crises.


    Adamantite: The pinnacle of adventurer rankings. Adamantite-ranked individuals are considered walking disasters—or saviors. They are only called upon in the direst situations, often involving apocalyptic threats. They operate independently of most guild protocols, answering directly to the highest authorities."


    She paused, letting the weight of the information settle. "Your current rank is Bronze, but considering your level, I wouldn''t be surprised if you rise quickly through the ranks. Just remember that advancement is based on both your performance and your contribution to the guild."


    Nox nodded thoughtfully, digesting the exnation. "How does one advance in rank? Is it purely based on the number of questspleted?"


    "Not just the number, but also the difficulty and impact of the quests," she rified. "For example,pleting a high-risk hunt or a quest that benefits a significant portion of the kingdom could fast-track your promotion. There''s also a periodic evaluation where guild officials assess your skills and conduct."


    "And the requirements for maintaining rank?" Nox inquired further.


    "Consistency," she said simply. "Adventurers must maintain an active presence and fulfill quests appropriate to their rank. Prolonged inactivity or repeated failures can result in demotion."


    Nox leaned back slightly, satisfied with the exnation. "Understood. I''ll keep that in mind."@@novelbin@@


    "Good," the receptionist replied with a small nod. "If you have no further questions, you''re free to start browsing the quest boards. Bronze-tier quests are on the left side. As you advance, more boards will be essible."


    Nox simply nodded and left, but he hoped deep down that the Bronze quests were actually worth it. The reason for himing here in the first ce was because he wanted to venture into a high-level dimensional rift.


    Though the effects of the dimensional key, which could teleport him to random dimensions, were still at his disposal, Nox preferred to enter a physical dimension this time. That way, he could choose the level of the dimensions rather than being teleported randomly.


    However, with him being only a Bronze-ranked adventurer, his ess would be restricted to lower-tier quests for now. Still, Nox was determined to find a way around these limitations.


    Leaving the small room, Nox entered a much bigger and busier hall. The noise was overwhelming—people talking loudly, armor clinking as adventurers moved around, and guild staff shouting instructions here and there. The space was split into sections, each with a board for quests based on different ranks.


    Inside this hall, there were all sorts of adventurers moving back and forth. There were warriors in bulky armor, mages in long robes, rangers with bows, petite fragile-looking healers, and rogues and assassins d in light gear, whispering among themselves or silently eyeing the boards.


    Nox ignored the activity around him and made his way to the Bronze quest board. Despite the rtive chaos, he noticed that the Bronze area was slightly less poptedpared to the higher-rank sections, though it was still busy with adventurers examining avable quests.


    The Bronze board was split into several subsections, with quests categorized by difficulty, from E to A, with E being the simplest and A bordering on the difficulty of Silver-tier tasks.

    Nox''s gaze lingered on thest quest. This is exactly what I was looking for, he thought, with a faint smirk tugging at his lips beneath the mask.
