2024-10-29 19:42:56Jim cried out in pain and distress.
Only one person heard his voice. It was Rena, but she thought he was just shouting while doing gym. He usually screamed sometimes while doing hard workouts, so Rena didn’t think it was abnormal.
“He works out in the gym so well, but why can’t he work half as much in bed?” Rena wondered. “Is his testosterone going to his muscles everywhere in the body except to his crotch?” she could only shake her head and mind her business, which was eating. She was a slow eater, so she would take at least fifteen to twenty minutes to eat simple breakfast.
Jim crashed on his bum and found himself gasping.
[Your body has been taken under control. You’re now my property, Mr. Jim Drake.] A rather sinister voice rang in his head.
“W-What?” Jim’s heart skipped a beat as he felt powerless like a man who didn’t sleep for three days straight. “Who are you? H-How do you know my name?”
[I think I already told you. I’m Anne.] the female voice in his head turned less hostile. [I’m a system with superpowers, and as far as biological factors are concerned, there’s nothing I cannot do!] She sounded proud of herself.
“S-Superpower?” Jim didn’t believe it. “You think I’ll fall for your bullshit. You must be some kind of advanced AI gear that’s capable of directly talking with a person’s brain.”
[Hmph, don’t compare me with those crappy AI systems which don’t have a soul in them.]
“A-Are you saying you have a soul in you?” Jim’s heart raced down imaginary alleys of fear.
[Not one, but two.] She sounded proud.
“Huh? How’s that possible?” Jim felt like his neurons were dying from trying to comprehend what was happening to him.
[Well, you don’t have to know that, but there’s something you DO need to know.] Anne slowly broke down the story to him. [Long ago, there was a young scientist who excelled in creating soulful artificial systems, but he couldn’t get a girlfriend because every woman thought he was too eccentric. He had no choice but to masturbate all the time to release his frustrations. He wanted to stop the nasty habit, but he couldn’t. This went on for years, no, decades, until he grew absolutely sick of it. And he decided to create a system that’ll stop men from doing anything manly until they are actually able to have sex with women. And I’m that system.]
“You’ll stop men from doing manly things? What exactly does that mean?” Jim asked, looking quite confused.
[You won’t be able to masturbate ever again.] Anne sounded evil. [You won’t be able to lift weights. You will feel powerless when showing power and dominance is expected of a man. You won’t be able to do anything manly until you have sex with women. The more you have sex, the faster you’ll be able to overcome me.]
“Surely, you are joking,” Jim bent down and tried to pick up the 20 pound dumbbell, but to his bewilderment, he wasn’t able to lift it. He felt a surge of pain along the length of his arm, and he wasn’t able to even lift it up a little. “What the hell?” his heart started beating in a strange rhythm. He tried to lift the ten pound one, but he couldn’t lift that, either, because his veins were somehow becoming weak at the moment he tried to lift it. He kept lowering the weights until he was finally able to lift one dumbbell, but it only weighed 2 pounds!
At this point, Jim was doing his best to not cry in anxiety.
How could he who was capable of doing a hundred bicep squeezes with the fifty pound dumbbells and a thousand bicep squeezes with the twenty pound dumbbells be incapable of even lifting them? This was nothing short of a nightmare to him.
“This can’t be happening to me…”
He even tried doing push ups. However, his arms trembled as he tried to push his body up, and in the end, he wasn’t able to do even a single push up. Normally, he would easily be able to do 50 push ups without stopping. Heck, his highest in a single round was 222 push ups. So, not being able to take even a single pushup when he was feeling no particular abnormality in his body was scary and disheartening to say the least.
“Y-You demon!” he yelled in fright. “What have you done to me?”
[How cute it is to see a big man like you worry over your ability to exercise.] Anne chuckled without any sensibility. [This is why men are so stupid, and why I’m given the goal to get them across the river of stupidity and into the embrace of women.]
“What bullshit,” Jim walked out of the gym room and went straight into the bathroom. “If you think I’ll let you do whatever you want, then you’re gravely mistaken.” He grabbed a soap.
[You think you’ll be able to take me off your finger just with the help of soap?] Anne amusedly asked. [How silly you are.]
Jim applied so much soap, but he still was not able to pull the ring out. It was as if the ring had grown spikes and gripped his finger way too tightly for him to be able to pull it out.
[Kekeke.] Anne’s snickering only added to Jim’s frustration. [You’re so stupid, Jim. I can see that it’s going to be a long ride with you.]
Jim didn’t say anything and went into the kitchen and grabbed an extremely sharp knife.
[What are you going to do with it?] Anne amusedly asked again.
“You think you can bully me?” Jim put a napkin in his mouth and started cutting off his finger without any hesitation.
[Hey, hey, hey!] Anne was shocked beyond belief.

Cutting one’s own finger off would be a nightmare for anybody, but Jim didn’t hesitate to cut his finger.Anne electrocuted his body to stop him from committing such a stupid act, but that didn’t work for long, as he just got back up and resumed cutting his finger.In the end, he managed to cut it off, and then he put it in an ice box. “I think throwing you in the toilet is the best thing to do, but I want to get my finger attached again, after I get rid of you.”He wrapped his hand with bandages to stop bleeding, and then he quickly went to the hospital. One of the doctors was his friend, and he didn’t tell him everything. Instead,he just told him, he ended up cutting his finger while experimenting with the dishes in the kitchen.The doctor was rather shocked. “How the hell did you manage to cut your finger like this while cutting veggies?” he could only shake his head. “Anyway, let’s remove this ring and replant the finger.”“Be careful with that ring,” Jim advised.“Haha, I’m going

Jim brought home a bag full of green beans.[You don’t have to worry about physical condition, Jim.] Anne said. [Just focus on fucking your wife. I’ll take care of the rest.]“I can’t completely rely on you and do nothing,” Jim blurted. “Even though you claim that you can cure my condition, I will still do everything I can.”[Hmph, so unnecessarily strong-headed, but I don’t hate that. Bathe first, and then go to your wife.]“Don’t tell me how to deal with my wife,” Jim growled. “You promised me you’d stay silent when I’m around Rena, so stick to your word.”[I only promised that I’ll keep silent when you are in the bed with her. Nothing more. Nothing less.]“Tsk,” Jim really wished he could just pull the ring out and throw it in the toilet.As he was heading to the kitchen, a short, fat man entered his vision, stroking his pointy mustache. This man was Marc Adams, his father-in-law. If there was anyone who treated him like trash in this house, it would be this man. For some reason Ji

On the same night, Jim didn’t cook Ants Fry. Instead, he made a juicy fry out of lamb chops, which made Marc completely forget about the fact that Jim was supposed to cook Ants Fry.Everybody except Marc didn’t praise the dish.“Today’s dish is a bit strange,” Lola, his mother-in-law, said. “Did you change the recipe this time?”“No. Is it bad?”“It’s not bad, but it’s strange.” She looked at her daughters who also said the same thing.Jim tasted the curry, but he felt its taste to be normal.Lola then openly took out a hundred dollar bill from her purse and handed it to Jim. She would do this every night after dinner. Jim would use this money for buying groceries and paying other bills. If there was any pocket change, he’d keep it because Lola told him to.However, it wasn’t just Jim who received money every night. Shiney also asked her mother for her pocket money. Lola, depending on her mood, would give her daughter a weekly allowance of anywhere between 100 to 1000 dollars. To put

If there was a time that Rena could never forget, it would be her first night after marriage. She just married one of the most handsome men she had ever seen in her life, and he was also the son of her mother’s elder brother. She knew him from a young age, and she would be lying if she said she was never attracted by his looks and contagious smile. But because they were cousins, she never dared to ask him out.However, by a twist of fate, she ended up marrying him. Naturally, she had a lot of expectations on her first night, where she was ready to give her purity to her husband.But then, by another bigger twist of fate, that entire night went by with Jim doing his best to just get his little brother up.At first, she thought he was just tense, but as days went by, Jim was only barely able to harden his little brother, and this was nowhere near enough for doing anything. She secretly took him to the doctors and then understood that he has some rare complications, and that he might get

“I never wanted to ask for the money I’ve given you,” Jim said with a heavy heart, “but you’re earned a lot through finance, and now you’re very capable of giving me my money. I don’t need any interest. Just give me the 4.3 million dollars, and I’ll sign the documents wherever you want me to.”Lola could not maintain a straight face anymore. “J-Jim, you gave me money, but I gave you my daughter. I let you live in my home for four years.”Jim didn’t like her response at all. “Are you saying you don’t want to give my money back?”Lola didn’t respond this time.“I worked my ass off in this house, Aunt, even though your husband treated me like shit,” Jim growled, “even though you treated me not as your brother’s son but just as would treat a maid. And I never complained about that, did I? So, stop with your nonsense, and give me money.”Lola sipped on the coffee that he made and softly shook her head. “Sorry, but my money is spread out, and collecting it from different people and companie

Bernard Williams.Jim searched this name online and found out that Bernard was promoted to a lawyer in the supreme court about a year ago.“Whoa, this guy is a big deal,” Jim thought. “He should be earning a lot of money with every case, so why does he want to talk to me? Just how much does my dad owe him?” His heart started beating faster.[Until you go and talk to him, you will never know.] Anne stated.“... You’re right.” Jim was required to pay seven dollars for using the internet in the cafe. He also needed to pay three more dollars for the coffee. However, he took the sim card out of his mobile, deleted all the information in it, factory-resetted the phone and gave it to the cafe owner in exchange for letting him use the cafe. The owner shamelessly took the mobile.As Jim walked out of the cafe, Anne asked, [Are you sure you want to leave your mobile? You have a lot of online friends, don’t you?]“Yeah, but they are a distraction now,” Jim said. After workout, chatting online an

The dog was still stuck in the gate, and the second dog was still trying to help.Bernard brought Jim back to the hall above and plopped down in his extra large couch, which was also his bed. He picked up his bowl of berries again.“So, tell me, why did you say you can’t give all the gold to me?” Jim asked the question that he had been itching to ask for the past five minutes because it took them five minutes to come up from the vault.“I’m your family’s trustee,” Bernard tossed a berry to Jim. He caught it but didn’t eat it. “My responsibility isn’t just to blindly give you money but to give you in a way it’ll benefit you. For instance, as per the agreement, if you have any debts unrelated to gambling and drugs, I will clear them all for you for just one time, in your entire lifetime. If you want me to provide for your house rent or your children’s education, I will also happily do that because it’s part of the agreement. If you want money for investment, then yes, I will gladly help

Bernard was sitting on his couch and watching 8K television, with his dogs sleeping on either side.Bernard’s thoughts drifted to the conversation he had with Jim. “If I were in his shoes, I wouldn’t have given all the money to my aunt after selling my father’s restaurant. I would have at best given her half, but he gave everything to her. I’m not sure if he did that because he’s naive or because trusting others in his family’s nature, but whatever the case, his aunt now brought him to the streets. That cunning, shameless woman…”Meanwhile, Jim was walking down the street by himself. He still found all the things that Bernard had shown him and told him unbelievable.He had asked Bernard for some pocket money as he had empty pockets, but Bernard refused to give him even a penny.Bernard’s words played in Jim’s mind: Don’t mistake me for your ATM. I’m your boss until I find you worthy to put you on top of my head.“If only I can read that agreement, then I will know how exactly to deal

He didn't have many friends growing up, but if you ask Shiney, she’ll tell you that he’s the kind you wouldn’t want to end your relationship with once you get to know him. Then again, Shiney might give you a different answer depending on the mood she’s in when you ask her.

EPILOGUE
Sometime later.Jim and Rena were on a mountain top, enjoying the view of the magnificent forest. Her belly was slightly swollen.A couple of birds flew by.“How do they find food?” Rena curiously asked.“God provides for them,” Jim said.“Yeah, but he doesn’t drop food in their nests, would he?” Rena retorted.“We work like buffaloes, and then buy food, cook it, and then put it in our mouths, chew it, and then our stomach has to digest it,” Jim said. “Just like us, birds also fly about to find grains, bugs, spiders, and… they can see from afar unlike us. They can see a tiny spider that’s dancing on its web under a tree shade from hundreds of meters away. So, yeah, God equipped them with enough skills so they can feed themselves even though they don’t live under a roof like us.”Just then, a brown Bentley arrived at the scene.John stepped out first and then opened the door for her.

Seeing Rena enter the kitchen, Jim also rushed in. He took the coupons from her and then kissed her hand.This was part of the deal, after all.The thing that she requested of him for being a waitress was that he would kiss a part of her body once every time she would enter the kitchen. And she was loving it now as Jim was coming up to her no matter where he was or whatever he was doing and was kissing her in unexpected ways and in unexpected places at times. Luckily, the kitchen was not open for view, or it would have been impossible to have these cuddling and kissing endeavors.As they were hugging, Rena noticed a little creature sneakily enter the kitchen. “I-I-It’s a rat!”“WHAT?” Jim was shocked and angered. How dare a rat enter his restaurant on the day he opened it? And that, too, in the middle of the day? “Where is it?”“I don’t know. It disappeared,” Rena looked around but couldn’t find it.“These things are smart. The moment they think they’re in danger, they freeze,” Jim co

Two weeks passed since Jim revealed his ancestry to those of the Draknor Finance company.At Bob Shriner’s house.Bob had kidnapped a six-year-old girl and tied her to a chair. Wearing a clown mask, he was dancing around her chair to make her cry and feel the horror of it.After all, sacrificing after torturing the prey would bring best results for any dark path ritual, so Bob was very excited about it.After finishing his dance, he revealed his hidden knife and stabbed the girl’s head from the top. The knife went right through her skull and came down from the chin. He was grinning; however, a second later, he realized that not a single drop of blood spilled, and the little girl was grinning at him as if she was the predator and he was the prey.Bob quickly stumbled back. “W-Who the hell are you?”“She’s Systa,” a voice came from behind Bob, sending a chill down his spine because he couldn’t even sense the presence of this person. He turned back but didn’t recognize this man who was n

A few days after Jim revealed himself to the chairman of Draknor Finance.In Draknor Finance headquarters.Lola was working alone in the cafe as Jim had told her to not hire any workers and that she must run the cafe by herself for the next four years.She was making sandwiches in the cafe, and she ended up cutting a bit of her finger while cutting tomatoes. And it made her cry from pain and then cry some more because of the hardships she was facing. As if that wasn’t enough, when she took the sandwich to the customer, he complained to her saying, “I asked you to mildly heat them in order to keep them soft. Why did you roast them this much?”“Sorry, sir. I’ll do well next time.”“Next time? You mean you want me to eat this shit right now?” The customer was none other than Joker from the Beast Dungeon.“T-That’s not shit, sir. It’s only roasted a little more than you asked for.”“So, now, you’re teaching me, a new client of this company, about food,” he hissed at her and threw the sand

“If you want to keep working in this company, then you need to do two things,” Jim said, and Lola already found herself losing her posture. “First thing. Give me my restaurant back.”“Done,” Lola didn’t even hesitate to agree. “What’s the second one?”Jim smiled and said, “There are multiple cafes in this building. I want you to open a new cafe and work as the main cook there. You’ll be taking care of that shop for the next four years. And then I’ll take reviews from the employees. If you get a majority of good votes, then I’ll promote you to a financier level. Otherwise…”Lola was shaking in rage. “You want me to cook and sell food like you and your dad did? Go to hell! I’m never doing that!” she shouted and walked away in haste.Marc followed her, but he pleasantly smiled at Jim.Jim, however, didn’t even bat an eyelid.After Marc and Lola left the building, with the latter looking extremely humiliated, Jim turned to face Rena, “Was I too harsh?”Rena slightly shook her head. “She h

Jim put his hand forward, and Steve gently held it and kissed it.Lola’s heart, brain, lungs, and many other organs seemed to be suddenly failing to work at this very instance. The mobile and handbag in Caylene’s hand dropped. Her dad tilted his head back in stupendous shock.Marc looked utterly dumbfounded.Tom and his dad and sister seemed supremely flummoxed.Austin, on the other hand, looked horrified. Elisha’s face also froze in a bit of horror.Rena was the only one who was able to move. “W-What is this, Jim?” She stepped forward. She knew who Steve was, so she looked at Steve. “Why are you bowing to my husband? What is this? Why did you call him Lord Jim?”“He’s from the line of kings, so how else would you want me to call him?” Steve replied, still kneeling even though it was hurting him to do that at his age.“F-From the line of Kings? Who? Jim?” Rena looked very confused.“I cannot speak more about the Lord while in his presence,” Steve added. “So, please forgive me for not

On the ground floor, more than a dozen guards were lying on the floor. Some were still conscious but were in too much pain to get back.There were many people standing, but most of them were not even willing to step forward or get themselves involved in whatever was happening.Jim was still holding the broken arm of Austin who was crying blood at this point. Jim had defeated the guards while holding Austin’s arm. And this brought greater pain to Austin. The only reason he didn’t pass out from pain was because Jim bolstered his mind with psychic vivre so that he’d be able to endure it to an extent. Austin was not aware of this. Even though he was able to bear the pain, the pain was still there. He had to withstand the indescribable pain that throbbed all across his arm, especially near his elbow and shoulder.“Y-You monster…” Caylene couldn’t believe what had happened. She was not expecting Jim to defeat the guards so easily. “Just take some money and get lost from here.”“You can’t so

Steve Millman was talking with someone on his mobile.“He is likely going to come to your office today,” Bernard was speaking from the other side.“Lord is?” Steve was startled. “Today?”“Treat him well. I’ll be sending you his photo, so don’t mess up, or you’re the only one who’s going to suffer, Steve,” Bernard said and ended the call.As Bernard waited, every second felt long.More than fifteen long seconds later, he received a notification. He saw the photo. “So, this is Jim Draknor. He looks to be barely thirty. No, he could be younger.” He gritted his teeth. “I have to bow to this brat?” His ego felt very hurt right now.He called someone on his mobile and said, “I sent you a picture. Find out his identity immediately.”“Yes, sir. Just give me a minute.”Steve stayed on the call, and then the person from the other side said, “Sir Steve, I found information on him. He used to be an ordinary chef, but only a day ago, his name has been spreading through the underground circles all
