In the aftermath of the great awakenings, when monsters began to spill from sky-piercing towers and humanity's hope flickered like a dying ember—five rose above all others.
A guild born not from politics or profit, but from power and purpose.
Their name now echoes through every continent. Feared by monsters. Revered by mankind.
The Celestial Order.
Each member hails from a different corner of the globe, yet they stand united as Earth's most elite force. After twenty years of dominance, they remain unmatched—still on the frontlines, still the first to charge.

Roger Wilson, Age 45 – "The Infernal Vanguard"
Origin: Chicago, United States
The first American to awaken. The original. The spark that ignited the hunter age. Roger's fire has only grown hotter over the decades—capable now of reshaping landscapes and melting through even the rarest dungeon alloys.
Despite his battlefield fury, he remains a people's champion. Civilians call him "Uncle Flame." New hunters beg to train under him. He has lost friends, cities, even faith—but never his will to protect.
"The fire's still here. I just learned to aim it better."

Christoff Erickson, Age 36 – "The Mind Emperor"
Origin: Stockholm, Sweden
A prodigy who awakened at just sixteen, Christoff joined the Celestial Order as its youngest founding member and rose to command it. His psychic abilities have advanced into the theoretical—he no longer just crushes minds, he rewrites battlefield logic.
He rarely speaks. Fewer still know his true intentions. But every global guild respects him. Some fear him. And others wonder if he's seen a future the rest of the world isn't ready for.
"You only lose if you play someone else's game."

Martin Saunders, Age 39 – "The Iron Fortress"
Origin: Manchester, United Kingdom
A former military engineer turned tank-class hunter. His body is a fortress; his soul, a lighthouse. Martin can absorb shockwaves that could level cities, and then redirect the energy with explosive force.
He is the foundation the Order leans on. The big brother of the team. The one who makes sure no one ever has to face the dark alone. When all else fails, Martin stands.
"If you're gonna hit me, hit hard. I'm not falling."

Hestia Roseberg, Age 27 – "The Silent Tempest"
Origin: Vienna, Austria
Once the youngest blade dancer to be knighted by the European Guild Union, Hestia is now a silent legend. Her blades cut through dimensions—literally, in some dungeons.
She rarely speaks, yet every movement is a conversation of grace and death. Whispers say she once cleared a dungeon solo that took a full raid team to even map. No one knows how. She simply walked out... alone.
"Speed isn't the goal. Stillness is."

And then—there is her.
The vice-leader. The anomaly. The only one spoken of in the same breath as gods and disasters alike.
Naiomi Sasaki, Age 28 – "The Gravity Queen"
Origin: Born in Osaka, Japan. Raised in Brooklyn, New York.
She is the only known hunter who wields multiple elemental affinities—water, fire, wind—and also commands the forces of time and gravity. Some believe she isn't human at all. Others say she's the world's last divine protector.
Her presence bends air. Her will bends fate. Even Christoff, the mind emperor, once said: "She is the future I cannot see."
She speaks with gentleness. She fights with cosmic weight.
And when she walks onto a battlefield—monsters kneel.
"I am not the strongest. I am what comes after strength."

Together, these five cleared the Level 68 American Dungeon Tower—an event that reshaped global hunter society. Livestreamed. Witnessed by billions. And never repeated.
Other guilds still chase that moment.
But time has passed.
And though the world still honors them...
In the shadows of forgotten cities, powerless youth still bleed.
In burned classrooms and broken homes, monsters wear human faces.
And from those ashes... others begin to rise.
Not to worship the Celestial Order—
But to challenge them.
To be continue...
