    Ok I'll deal with this first. Yes and No. Control is not entirely out of question, but for now it is definitely too slow. Half the players here want to power level inflate the hell out of this place (not going to deny my place among them) and while you do want to limit that a bit you have limited it way too much. The one quest a day thing I would get except you have added receptionists to handle the workload, and it's not really necessary to grade every quest too consistently. Give it a read, assign a score of 1-10 on a scale of the same, then multiply the max points by that score and be done with it. You already a tyrant, embrace it. That limit is the largest thing I have a problem with, I would up it to three at minimum, so long as they're distinct.

    Second thing is only being able to take quests of your own rank is a mistake. I would do up to 1 higher and 1 lower, with the accompaniment of a party member in the first case (a D rank can take E ranks on a D rank quest, or an A can take B's on an A) and for half points in the second (D rank can take an E rank quest, but only gets half the max points). The number of quests you're putting out is far too low (not even mentioning unimaginative. Read a D&D scenario booklet... Please) to limit the ability to take quests so far.

    But the first couple of responses disagreed with me, so maybe I'm the odd one out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don't particularly care. Though I would say that harder quests don't necessarily have to be bloody... [Gather] [Escort] [Delivery] [Crafting] [Identification] [Research] [Experimental] don't necessarily have to be bloody. [Taming] [Construction/Repair] and [Negotiation] are a few of the kinds that forbid it. There's a good guide here detailing some of the types including the bloody ones. As I said before, the major problem is a lack of quest choices and the one a day limit which is really annoying.

    Mind control it is...
    But I can't think of anything interesting right now. I'll be back eventually.

    *Kaboooom* a large noise was heard as an explosion occurred in a corner of the guild. *cough* *cough* looks like I need to change the ratio...*cough* *glug* *glug* *glug* and thus a certain pirate continued his work trying to create a TYPE C gunpowder.

    well.. for now i'll consider rebalancing the point needed to rank up i guess,,
    like i also think about it now.. 500 ap to get into S rank might be too much..
    and will consider rebalancing quest rewards points...

    as for receptionist.. well.. kekeke...

    Woah what a weirdo like answer.
    No no. Don't judge by appearances, she is a cappable adventurer her.
    Hmm what is she talking about. Maybe it's my cooking and housework skill?
    That means magic bag?!
    "If you are talking about housework chores, I can rival a royal maid and about cooking I know a lot of foregin dishes and some of the recipes of the chef here."
    After telling her that, I took out a carefully stored cake and some honey cookie.
    "Look try those for now"

    Sweets! Been a really long time since I had any. This might be really worth it!

    It wasn't time for dessert yet, so I took a small cut off the cake and put it into my mouth. The soft, sugary blend jolted like lightning, I involuntarily smiled at the surprising treat. A professional pasticier was difficult to come by, and cost way too much for the current me to hire. For a random newbie adventurer to be one would be one of the most coincidental thing ever.

    "...the storage, how big?"

    The rings were created when I studied runecrafting back at the academy, it had a spherical space around the size of a melon. I never bothered trying to make it bigger, it was a fine purse just like that. I hope the request wasn't too big, I wouldn't be able to fulfill it otherwise...

    Yay! I got her attention. It was worth to get beaten the hell out of me from those bees.
    Calm down calm down fuu.
    "I wish if it were enough to hold some potions and have the ability to take them out fast, even in the middle of a battle.
    Also I need it to be light because I am a little weak.
    For payment, you can decide for how long I need to do your housework chores including the meals."
    I hope that I wasn't asking for too much and made her angry...

    Potions? An alchemist, apparently. The ring should suffice. I took a big bite off a venison and swallowed it before wordlessly unchained one of the rings on my necklace. It floated on the air, slowly edging to the alchemist. It had a spherical storage with approximately thirty centimeter in diameter.

    "Inject it with a bit of your mana to open it. It will only take in what's touching the ring directly, and you can take out exact item instantly as long as you remember what to look for. It will take a while probing to identify the content if you don't know about it, but it's doable. There's several copper coins inside, go try." I take another bite. "Good enough? I hope you can bake cakes for a while, say, a week? I'll commission it accordingly in the future."

    "Thank you very much!"
    What a nice lady. I regret regarding her as a weirdo at first glance (not that I am wrong though). Not only she gave me a ring shaped magic bag, there is also money inside.
    It seems that she only wants cakes so that means I have to go to the forest frequently to gather ingredients.
    Let's try the size... it's melon sized, enough to hold ten small bottles. Yup more than I wished at first.
    "I'll bake you different cakes everyday for this whole week!"
    I was so moved that I almost hugged her, but I stopped. I shouldn't carelessly hug my benefactor after all.

    I entered the tavern, hoping to see something new or interesting. And it didn't take me long since I immediately hear a familiar sound of someone that is almost always drunk, yet sober. Strange? You will get use to strange things if you hang around people like us. And, yes, I am a strange one too. I will not deny that.
    "What did you make? The C-Type Gunpowder? If yes, may I see it? I'll buy you a drink if you tell me."

    "No, thank you." I was positively beaming with smiles. "I would never expect a pasticier to end up here. You'd get really rich in the royal capital with that profession. Everyone like sweets there, and actually got the money for it." Perhaps pursuing the path of alchemy for some reason? Not my place to pry, I think.

    "One last thing though," I added after closely scrutinizing the overly happy pasticier. "Are you a boy, or a girl?"


    "Hey! Mister cartographer!" I waved at the familiar man. I don't usually took an initiative to greet people, but he wasn't exactly a stranger and not freaking out when riding buzz-saws a hundred meters off ground was a plus in my book. "I don't think I've caught your name before. Drink?"

    yes *keeps drinking* the gunpowder is a bit harder to make and lower success rate but gives stronger detonation and more stable * shows the half filled keg of gunpowder*

    "Oh little girl. You can call me Spear and I have already order a beer. But you can drink with me if you want. Lime juice, right?" I friendly invite the little girl to sit near me and order lime juice for her.

    "Ho? Interesting."
    I am always happy to see someone engrossed in their work No matter what the work is.
    "Let me see a bit."
    As I take a closer look into the stuff, somehow I was reminded at the formula my pa told me. Hmm...let's see...I took out three of my smaller bombs that I usually attached to the small spider. I emptied one of them.
    "Let me borrow a bit of yours."
    I then took some of the pirate's gunpowder and filled the small capsule with it. I put a small fuse and then put it together. I also attached the other two to it. I took out a match and then lit the fuse and then threw it onto the floor. A second later the thing blew up, but didn't manage to blow the other two, only threw them a bit far. My eyes widened as I couldn't hold my excitement. I stood up and then grab the pirate's shoulder, surprising him.
    "You've done it, my friend! We can make a new type of bomb! A cluster bomb! No, no, no! A Grape Bomb!!"
