A few hours later.Jim’s injuries healed, but he was feeling weak and hungry. This was similar to the feeling of tiredness and muscle stiffness and soreness one would expect after doing intense workouts. However, the difference was that there was no satisfaction involved in this case.“This must be the side effects of the nanobots working a lot,” Jim muttered under his breath.[Well, they use the electricity in your body to run, so it puts a strain on your mitochondria.] Joe said. [Once the cells get burned a lot, the effect will reach your brain, too, and you’ll feel mentally drained. In the worst case, you will get seizures.]Jim’s eyes slightly widened. “Why didn’t you warn me then?”[There was no opportunity, so I didn’t feel the need to tell you.] Joe replied casually.“Tsk,” Jim got up.“Are you finally leaving?” the robot asked. It hadn’t given much useful information to Jim, other than telling him the name of the dungeon and how many floors this dungeon had.Jim went to the wa

The gorilla was very big in size, but it was also quite fast. With a single leap, its face was almost in front of Jim, and it tried to grab him with its hand.Jim jumped forth and raised to the level of the gorilla’s head. He thrust his right hand forth like a spear. “Hundred Pound Spear Shock!”The vivre concentrated at the tip of his hand and sharpened into a spear that propelled forth at a great speed and struck the gorilla’s face in between the eyes.The gorilla screamed in pain and quickly covered its face with its hand.“I don’t see any blood. Tsk,” Jim frowned. “It was more concentrated than the one I used to kill Pyron. It has a lot more penetrative power, but it still couldn’t cut deep enough to make this thing bleed? Did I misjudge its strength by that much? If it wanted to escape this place, it could easily break through its walls, but why doesn’t it do that?”The gorilla removed its hand, and as Jim expected, there was only a small cut at the spot where the nose and the fo

Ronny was in the running mode as Jim opened the door, but his body language completely changed after seeing that there was no beast inside the room. In fact, there was nobody in the room, except that it was full of cylinders fixed to the walls. There were also beds and television.“Whoa…” Ronny entered the room and shut the door. There was even a red carpet on the floor. There were small bulbs glowing and lighting the room, so it looked beautiful. “I was not expecting there’d be a room like this.”“We’re going to be staying here for a while…” Jim touched one of the cylinders. There were seven cylinders inside, but these cylinders were almost thrice as big as the one he had used before.“What are those cylinders for?” Ronny asked.“It’s something that will help me with my cultivation,” Jim said.“Cultivation? That’s a very fantasy term.”“Well, that’s the best term I could think of,” Jim replied. “If I assume each cylinder is going to take six hours at the least, then seven cylinders w

After Shiney shut the door, she stood by the door and observed Solomon.Solomon shook his head and ate a flower from the bouquet purely out of frustration before leaving the place.“This guy… Sis did tell me that he’s interested in me, but I don’t get it,” Shiney thought. “Why does he like me when all I do is sit at home for the past four years or so? On the other hand, he’s the creator and CEO of a retail chain, and his net worth is probably over ten million dollars. I’m sure lots of women are all over him, so why does he still want to date me? This is making things difficult for me. This is an unnecessary burden for me.”Solomon was a handsome dude, though he was on the swole side unlike Jim. Anybody who looked at Solomon would tell that he would spend a lot of time in the gym every week. His proportions were not to Shiney’s liking. Moreover, Shiney always had her eyes on Jim. In front of Jim, no man even came close to match him. No. Not one.Shiney went back to her room and washed

Many years ago.When Shiney was young, she came to Drake’s restaurant with her friends, and she asked her uncle Marcus for a free lunch.Marcus agreed, but Jim didn’t.“Why should we give you and your friends free meals?” Jim asked back. “Do you think we’re getting the ingredients for free?”“Did I ask you?” Shiney retorted. “Why are you interfering when you’re not even the owner?”“What? You really are…” Jim gritted his teeth. He was eleven years old at the time. Shiney was eight years old. He didn’t want to waste his energy arguing with her, so he went back to the kitchen and argued with his dad instead. “Dad, if you give her a free meal, she’ll bring her friends again every week. You shouldn’t do this.”“She’s your cousin, Jim. If she asks for something, you should do it as long as it’s a reasonable request,” Marcus replied.“Huh? How is this a reasonable request?” Jim asked back.Marcus put juicy chicken pieces on five plates. “Take these starters out.”“Why are there five plates?
