Chapter 4: The Descent of an Angel – The Dawn of Holy Light
---
Outside Dawnlight Village, a golden pillar of light shot into the sky from the Ancient Temple, piercing through the morning mist like a divine declaration.
At that moment, everyone in Dawnlight Village—both NPCs and players—witnessed the celestial phenomenon.

Dawnlight Village in Uproar – The World Watches!
"What the hell?! What's happening at the temple?"
"A hidden event?! Who triggered it?"
In the town square, a group of players who had been casually chatting near the marketplace suddenly froze, their gazes locked onto the distant golden glow.
"This is the first time we've seen something like this in Eternal Sanctuary!"
"Wait… is this a hidden class unlock?!"
"No way! We've combed through Dawnlight Village for months! If there was a hidden class here, someone would've found it already!"
"Really? Haven't you heard the rumors? The devs buried near-impossible-to-trigger hidden classes in the game."
"Shit… You mean someone actually unlocked one?!"
Excitement spread like wildfire. Players immediately rushed toward the Ancient Temple, hoping to witness history in the making—or to uncover how they could get the hidden class themselves.

A Summon from the Heavens – His First Celestial Ally
Inside the Ancient Temple, golden light shimmered, filling the grand hall with an overwhelming divine aura.
Adrian Li slowly opened his eyes.
A newfound power coursed through his veins—a sacred force unlike anything he had ever felt before.
He was no longer just another beginner player. He was the only Holy Light Summoner.
Taking a deep breath, he focused on his first summoning skill—
[Summon: Celestial Guardian]
——Boom!——
The sky split open as a pillar of golden radiance descended, illuminating the entire temple!
An intense, sacred pressure filled the air as a towering figure emerged from the light.
Clad in silver-white armor, golden wings unfurled behind his back, and a divine longsword gleamed in his grasp.
He knelt before Adrian, lowering his head in solemn reverence.
"I have answered your call, my master."

The Players' Shock – Jealousy and Greed!
"Holy shit! What was that?!"
The first wave of players had just arrived outside the Ancient Temple, only to witness the final moments of the summoning ritual.
"A summon class?! But what the hell did he summon?!"
"That's no ordinary summoned beast… That's a celestial being!"
"That means… he really did unlock a unique class…"
Silence fell.
Then—murmuring, low whispers of greed and envy.
"If we kill him… do you think we can take his class?"
"Idiot. The game doesn't let you steal class progress."
"But what if we can force him to tell us how he got it?"
Several players exchanged knowing glances, their eyes gleaming with dark intent.
A unique class was worth more than anything else in the game.
If they could uncover its secrets, they could become the strongest Awakened when the real world changed.

A Hidden Force Stirs in the Shadows
Elsewhere in Dawnlight Village, inside a dimly lit chamber, several figures cloaked in black gathered together.
These were not ordinary players. They belonged to a hidden faction that thrived in secrecy.
One of them watched as the golden glow slowly faded from the sky and murmured:
"A Holy Light class…?"
"A newcomer… yet he unlocked a hidden class?"
Another figure chuckled coldly. "People who wield the light… never live long."
"Our leader won't tolerate a wild card like this."
"Find out who he is. If we need to take him out, we do it before he gets too strong."
The group exchanged looks—the decision was made.
Adrian Li had just unknowingly painted a target on his back.

Adrian's Resolve – No More Retreating!
Back in the Ancient Temple, Adrian narrowed his eyes, sensing a change in the atmosphere.
His awakening had drawn attention.
Not just from Dawnlight Village's players, but from those lurking in the shadows.
He knew what this meant—he had to grow stronger. Fast.
Looking at the Celestial Guardian kneeling before him, he clenched his fists.
This time, he wouldn't be powerless.
This time, he would dictate his own fate.
He turned and strode toward the temple entrance, stepping into the sunlight.
Completely unaware that unseen eyes were already watching, planning their next move…
