My Cuckhold System-Chapter 116: The Eternal Ruins
West selected the Implosive Disk.
Cost: 200 Cuck Points per unit.
He bought five.
1,000 points gone.
A bunch of small black disks materialized briefly in his inventory preview...
Next, he browsed defensive equipment.
A lightweight reinforced under-armor caught his attention.
Flexible and concealable beneath normal clothing.
It wouldn’t stop everything but it would absorb significant blunt and blade impact.
He purchased it and then moved onto yhe pendant...
One-Time Absolute Redirect.
It was very expensive but if it could redirect any attack, regardless of how powerful it was, this would definitely come in handy.
He bought it without hesitation and then added three explosive cards.
A few minor utility items followed and by the time he paused, over 7,000 Cuck Points were gone.
West’s Purchases:
Implosive Disk ×5 → 1,000 CP
Reinforced Underskin Armor → 1,500 CP
Absolute Redirect Pendant → 2,000 CP
Explosive Card ×3 → 900 CP
×2 Power Boost Potion ×2 → 1,200 CP
Smoke Sphere ×3 → 450 CP
Total Spent: 7,050 Cuck Points
Remaining: 6,406 Cuck Points
He had roughly half remaining.
He stared at the number and sighed before equipping what needed equipping.
Armor settled beneath his clothing seamlessly, pendant rested against his chest...
While the rest slid neatly into inventory storage.
Only then did he finally lie down and sleep.

When morning arrived, teachers knocked on doors.
"Roll call in ten minutes!"
Groans erupted across the building.
Students shuffled out into the courtyard in various states of wakefulness.
Nina looked surprisingly refreshed while Mira did not.
"That pillow is terrible..." she muttered with her morning hair looking spiky like she got electrocuted.
Darius looked like he hadn’t slept at all.
West stepped into the sunlight calmly and his gaze drifted instinctively toward the ruins.
Morning light revealed them clearly.
Upward structures of fractured stone rising dramatically into the sky...
Tourists were already gathering near the entrance.
Everyone was allowed thirty minutes to freshen up...
At 9 AM sharp, the teachers organized the group.
"Stay together."
"Do not wander."
"No climbing beyond designated areas."
The guards at the entrance scanned passes.
This time, there were no objections.
The entrance plaza inside the Eternal Ruins quickly turned into organized chaos.
Class 3 wasn’t a small class.
With streams A through D combined for the excursion, their numbers were heavy enough that the echo of their collective chatter bounced off ancient stone like restless birds trapped inside a cathedral.
Four official guides stood near the central archway, each wearing identification badges and carrying small voice amplifiers.
After a brief discussion with the teachers, a decision was made.
"We’ll split you into four groups," one guide announced. "Twenty students per group. Each group will explore a different cardinal direction of the ruins before rotating."
He pointed outward.
"East quadrant. West quadrant. South quadrant. North quadrant."
Three teachers were present: Mr. Lowell, Ms. Carter, and Mr. Ibe.
Which meant—
One group would move without direct teacher supervision.
That group was West’s.
Darius grinned immediately.
"Freedom group."
"Don’t get excited," Felix muttered.
Nina stood beside West.
Mira folded her arms, pretending indifference but clearly aware of the implications.
The guide assigned to their group was a lean man in his late forties with sharp eyes and a voice trained for storytelling.
"I’ll be guiding the North quadrant," he stated. "Stay close. Don’t touch restricted markers. And do not wander off."
His tone was calm, but firm. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
West’s gaze briefly swept across the other groups dispersing toward their respective directions.
The ruins were so vast that once they split, each group quickly disappeared behind fractured pillars and broken archways.
---
The North quadrant began with open areas...
Massive slabs of stone formed uneven ground beneath their feet, cracked but stabilized with modern reinforcement lines.
Tower fragments rose at strange angles, like the remnants of a civilization frozen mid-collapse.
The guide began speaking.
"This section once housed the administrative district of the ancient settlement that existed here before awakened warfare reshaped the region."
He gestured toward a half-standing building.
"Those inscriptions along the upper walls? Early script. It predates modern awakened documentation."
Students leaned closer to examine carvings etched into weathered stone.
Some symbols resembled eyes.
Others resembled coiled beasts.
"Archaeologists believe this civilization understood energy manipulation at a primitive but structured level," the guide continued. "But their collapse coincided with the first wave of awakened conflicts."
West walked slightly behind the group, observing rather than reacting.
He noticed the pattern of damage.
Impact points were concentrated along structural weak zones.
Blast marks were layered with old and newer ones overlapping.
This wasn’t just ancient collapse.
This place had been fought over... repeatedly.
They moved through narrow corridors formed by collapsed walls.
Sunlight filtered down through broken ceilings, creating fractured beams of gold.
Darius whispered dramatically, "Imagine fighting here."
"Echo would be insane," Felix added.
Mira ran her fingers lightly over a reinforced railing.
"It’s strange," she murmured. "It feels peaceful."
West glanced at her.
"Peace comes after something ends."
She frowned slightly.
The guide led them toward a partially sealed stairwell.
"This leads to the second layer," he explained.
Students perked up...
Underground meant mystery.
---
The temperature dropped almost immediately as they descended.
Stone steps spiraled downward, reinforced by modern metal supports bolted discreetly along the sides. These metal supports didn’t exist originally, just like many other things in the ruins but it had been restructured at specific points to make tourism easier.
The deeper they went... the quieter it became.
Sound felt absorbed rather than echoed.
When they reached the bottom, the atmosphere changed entirely...
The underground layer was vast.
Much larger than expected.
It wasn’t just a basement... it was an entire secondary city.
Vaulted ceilings were supported by thick stone columns and long corridors stretched into shadow while chambers branched outward like a maze.
Modern lighting systems had been installed along major paths, but large sections remained dim and restricted.
Gasps rippled through the students.
"It’s like another world," Nina whispered.
She wasn’t wrong.
Above ground was barely considered a part of the ruins...
Below ground felt like the real deal. And this was because, the Eternal Ruins had more than one layer.
Despite visible battle damage, much of the architecture remained structurally coherent.
The guide resumed narration.
"This layer was once a trove of weather abnormalities. It used to have a spiral of fiery and electrifying tornadoes spinning around."
