Caleb approached the guild's desk, task paper in hand, ready to make his mission official. Behind the desk, a young man with sharp eyes and an earnest expression looked up as Caleb approached. "Good morning! I'm John, and I'll be handling your task registrations from here on out," he said, extending a hand in greeting.
As Caleb handed over the task paper, John's eyebrows raised slightly. "Ah, a C-ranked task, I see. Just a heads up, since you're new here, it's usual for adventurers to start with D or lower-ranked tasks. It helps you get accustomed to how things work around here without jumping into the deep end too quickly."
Caleb smiled wryly, a twinkle in his eye. "I appreciate your concern, John, but despite my new status here, I'm not exactly new to handling challenging situations. I've wandered into the extreme wilderness more than a few times in my younger days," he lied smoothly, hoping to sway the staff member's opinion.
