How Far Back Do City And Guilds Records Go

The Guilded Curse

Chapter 0 – Ashes of a Daughter Place: The Ruined Palace Date: Late winter, Year 768 The palace burned. What once stood tall in white stone and gold banners now crumbled in smoke and ruin. Screams had long faded. Blood dried too fast in the winter wind. The flag of Eltharion lay trampled in the mud, and beneath it all, Vireya stood alone. Her armor was cracked. Her blade, gone. She had killed and bled and shielded—and still, they lost. And yet she stood. On shattered marble steps, her father—the king—watched the last member of his kingdom flicker in the girl before him. He had not fled. He had not begged. But he had not answered her warnings, either. “Do you see it now?” Vireya whispered. Her voice was hoarse from ash and war. “He used us. Everything I said… everything you ignored—” Silence. He didn’t argue. He never had to. He was the king. She was the weapon. She took one step closer. Blood leaked from the cut at her ribs. The world spun. “I’ve fought every battle for you. Spilled every drop they asked.” Her voice softened. “And I came back each time hoping—just hoping—you’d see me.” Still nothing. The wind picked up, bitter and sharp. Her fingers trembled as they reached for her chest plate. She couldn’t breathe. She wasn’t sure she wanted to anymore. “If I were born again,” she said, eyes dull, “would you ever… love me?” He met her gaze, just once. But no answer came. No apology. No denial. Only the quiet shame of a man who realized too late what he had broken. Vireya’s lips trembled with a hollow smile. “That’s what I thought.” Her sword slipped from her hand. “I hope I’m never your daughter again.” And then—her knees gave out. The world tilted. Darkness swelled around the corners of her vision. But just before the fall, she felt arms catch her. Solid, trembling. Too late. She closed her eyes. Place: The Garden of Eltharion Date: Early spring, Year 756 The air was too still. Leaves rustled overhead, casting dappled shadows across her face. The scent of pine and soft earth clung to her skin—but beneath it, the sharp sting of memory. Vireya’s eyes opened slowly. The sky above was too blue. The silence is too clean. No fire. No blood. Her throat ached—dry, parched, and burning like she’d swallowed smoke. She coughed weakly, and her hand flew to her side— But there was no wound. Only the phantom pain of where a blade had once pierced her. The memory of steel sang louder than the wind. She pushed herself upright, limbs trembling. Her body was smaller. Softer. Younger. “No...” The word caught in her throat. Her voice was barely a whisper. The last thing she remembered was dying—falling in her father’s arms after giving up the hope of being loved. And now… this? Footsteps. She flinched instinctively, body coiled for defense. But it was only a girl—barefoot, with soft steps and a plain brown dress. Her maid. Lune. Mute. Loyal. Eyes like dusk, always watching but never judging. Without a word, Lune knelt beside her and gently offered a glass of water. Vireya stared at it for a long moment. In her old life, Lune had been the only one who never asked anything of her. Never spoke behind her back. Never looked away from her. Her fingers shook as she took the cup. The water touched her lips. Cold. Real. “Thank you,” she rasped. Her voice cracked. “You're still here.” Lune only bowed her head, then reached out to brush a leaf from Vireya’s tangled hair. A quiet gesture. Familiar. And just like that, tears pricked behind Vireya’s eyes—but didn’t fall. She drank. Slowly. The water didn't ease the ache in her chest.

Ascension Through the Records

Mikael was once a small-time crime lord in the USA—ruthless, calculated, and always in control. But when the Akashic Records descend upon Earth, offering humanity the chance to rise beyond its limits, everything changes. Thrust into a vast multiverse ruled by strength, Mikael accepts the challenge not for heroism—but for power. In this world of gods, monsters, and ancient legacies, he forges his path with blood, ambition, and cold logic. As he journeys across worlds, mastering deadly arts and forging powerful bonds, Mikael’s rise becomes inevitable. Whether it's clashing with divine beings, taming the forces of cultivation, or winning over remarkable women, his story is one of unrelenting ascension. Ascension Through the Records is a strategic progression fantasy featuring a calm and often indifferent protagonist. Romance, harem dynamics, and R-18 content are present—but never at the expense of story depth or action. Warning: This is not a fanfiction. Although it is possible for him to enter "anime worlds," the main character will never actually enter those worlds. Expectations: A cold protagonist who is largely indifferent to the lives of others. If you are looking for a hero who saves everyone, this story may not be for you. While the main character is capable of love and other emotions, he simply doesn’t care about the fate of strangers. Chapter Length: Approximately 2000 words. Update Schedule: Every day at 14:00 EST. (This is the minimum release rate, but I’ll try to release chapters more often if possible.)

She then met with the icy red eyes that brood down upon her appearance, drinking into every inch of her figure as if he was studying her, even to how those breaths escaped her lips. "I thought we had bonded over the days we have spent together, Bella," he sang, his bright scarlet eyes betraying the singing tone he had used as it had grown so dark and filled with anger. "Yet you left so quickly as soon as I opened the castle gate." Bella gritted her teeth, her eyes glaring at him as she defiantly shook his hand off her face, "I can remind you if you have forgotten it, Your Majesty, I am kept here against my wish." Cassius' smile faded as he stared at her. The sudden pin-drop silence filled her nerves with tension as she found his smileless face the most terrifying sight. She had always known his fearsome side however, it felt scarier tonight. Bella tried to endure how loud her heart had raced against her chest, gathering her breaths together even though it remained shallow in his presence. "So cold," he muttered, his tone trying to tease her, but she could see the raw anger crossing his eyes. "You cannot run from me. Not after what we've done. Not after what you promised." Her heart faltered. She wasn't supposed to stay in this castle; she knew that the royal palace was filled with those vampire monsters who would kill for their desire, simply to have fun. She knew she should never give her heart to any of these monsters, and she had once believed she would never. But that was until Cassius came.

"You're not the first one I have broken my promises with," she gritted her teeth and looked up at him, "I broke my promise the way you broke yours first, isn't it fair?" "Fair? Then was everything a lie, Arabella?" he murmured, his hands cupping her face, forcing her to meet his eyes. "You were mine the moment you entered my castle. And you will be mine until the very end." She gulped as his eyes shone underneath the moonlight, his gaze unforgiving over her, exposing his wild hunger. Her breath caught, her pulse quickening. "A human and a vampire should have never stayed together. They were all right." "I don't care," he spoke through his clenched jaw. "You're going to remain here by my side forever."

Devil King's Host: Celestial Records

Two antagonizing forces in one body? Tsk, tsk what a mess. No, our MC isn't a hybrid but a host. In him, the lost power of a divine being–the celestial eyes, is sealed and unfortunately for him, the king of abyss –sheon, got sealed in him too. Unlike the celestial eyes, Sheon wasn't going to stand still and be a nice obedient prisoner. He was going to get out no matter what it costs. "Listen, kid. Don't think I'm your assistant just because you are my host. I'm one of the strongest and cruelest being. I am the devil king. I'm not going to be your night in shining armor, on the contrary... I wish to get rid of you. In that note, I'll turn everything and everyone against you until you'll have no reason to want to live, then I shall possess my host and accomplish my reign over humanity. Sheon wanted to make sure the human was clear about their relationship. Thinking he scared the kid, Henry's reply surprised him. "You're too loud for a prisoner... You might have been the king in your world, but here, you're locked up in my body–you're my prisoner. A tool for me to use, and with your powers, I'll survive. You want to turn the world against me? Sure go ahead, I'll entertain you as much as you want, but in the process I'll make you a slave that will forever grovel before me. I will conquer every obstacle you set and live the way I want and with my own rules." Henry's confidence surprised Sheon. "Interesting. And how do you think I'll lend you my powers?" "It's in me, I don't need permission to take it. Wait and see, I'll find a way to tame both you and your powers," Henry said with a firm tone. "You thrill me, kid, let me see how you manage to pull that off, entertain me." "Sit back and watch me conquer everything, and in the process, await your turn." A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL, makes me wonder who really is the devil between the two...they say...fear those who don't fear the devil, because he has to be more scarier than the devil. The world against him... let's see how Henry survives; shall we dive into the story then?

HOW TO RECOVER BACK STOLEN CRYPTOCURRENCY

My name is Viktoriya, and I’m from Russia. I’m here to share a story I never imagined I’d tell. It’s a story of trust, betrayal, heartache, and finally — hope. It’s about how I was scammed by an online fake investment platform, nearly lost my marriage, and how Autopsy Mainnet Recovery saved me from losing everything I held dear. Like many others, I was always looking for ways to improve my life. As a mother, a wife, and someone trying to secure a future for my family, I found myself searching for opportunities to make our life better. That’s when I came across an online investment platform that promised huge returns. The website looked professional, the testimonials seemed genuine, and the offers were too good to ignore. The excitement of possibly changing my life was overwhelming. It felt like the chance I had been waiting for. I spoke with the so-called “investment advisors” who reassured me at every step. They were persuasive, calm, and made me feel confident. They showed me charts, explained strategies, and before I knew it, I had invested almost everything I had — savings, retirement funds, even money I had set aside for my children’s future. It was a huge risk, but I thought it was worth it. Little did I know, I was walking straight into a trap. Over the next few weeks, everything seemed fine. My investment appeared to be growing. The platform’s updates were regular, and they made me believe that my money was safe. But one day, everything changed. I woke up to find that the platform was completely gone — no contact, no way to access my account. The website disappeared overnight, leaving nothing but a cold void where my hopes had been. I was devastated. But that wasn’t even the worst part. I was too ashamed to tell my husband, too embarrassed to admit what I had done. He had trusted me, and now I had betrayed that trust. The tension between us grew. We argued constantly. My husband became distant, and I could feel our relationship slowly crumbling. I felt like I had ruined everything — my marriage, my future, and my children’s security. I cried every night. I lost sleep, my health started to deteriorate, and I couldn’t stop blaming myself for being so foolish. I didn’t know how to fix things. It felt like I was suffocating. That’s when a friend told me about Autopsy Mainnet Recovery. At first, I was skeptical. How could anyone help me after everything was gone? But I was desperate. I had nothing to lose. I contacted them, and from the moment I spoke with their team, I felt a glimmer of hope. They listened to my story without judgment. They understood my pain. They reassured me that I wasn’t alone and that they would do everything in their power to help me recover what I had lost. Their team quickly started working on tracing the funds, using advanced techniques to track where my money had gone. Within weeks, they recovered a significant portion of my lost investment. The relief I felt was indescribable. It wasn’t just the money — it was the weight that had been lifted off my shoulders. For the first time in months, I felt like I had a future again. Autopsy Mainnet Recovery not only helped me reclaim my funds, but they also gave me the chance to rebuild my life and my marriage. I can never thank them enough. Autopsy Mainnet Recovery are the best at what they do. If you’ve been in a similar situation — if you’ve lost hope — please reach out to them. They can help you too. You don’t have to lose everything. WhatsApp: ‪‪+44 758 601 9698‬‬ Website: ‪autmainrec.com‬ Email: [ Autopsymainnetrecovery@autopsy.co.site ]
