JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 104
Jim was done with practicing because he had been at it for so long he wasn’t able to move anymore. Every part of his body was hurting now, even his brain, because he had to keep his focus high for a very long time during the whole practice session that lasted for hours. The old man also kept hitting him with the stick, so that only added to the pain that Jim was already feeling from the sheer physical exertion, which was very different compared to exercising in the gym. Jim didn’t hate this change. In fact, he liked how tired he was. Usually, his pants wouldn’t get completely soaked after exercise, but now, his shorts were soaking wet. A layer of sweat covered every inch of his body, even the soles of his feet. The humanoid robot brought food. “You should eat so that you’ll recover your strength quickly,” the old man said. “Then you can get back to practice.” Jim was quite hungry, so he hurriedly sat up to eat what looked like meat fry. [You don’t want to eat it.] Joe said, makin
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 105
Jim kept punching the wooden posts that the robot had supplied in abundance.. Instead of rushing, he kept giving the punches everything, even though striking the wood hurt like hell.Whenever Jim stopped from pain, Demon Dwarf told him to continue hitting. “If you stop, you won’t be able to win at all. Use the breathing technique as well as the mental technique together with the punch. Only then, your body will be able to bring out the miracle.”Jim understood that, which was exactly why he was giving it everything with every single punch even though his bones were being bruised and fractured. Though the robot helped Jim by healing his injuries by commanding the nanobots, the nanobots in his body still used part of his energy to heal him, so he felt tired as a result. Bearing the pain of punching wooden posts when he felt tired and hungry was not at all easy. Most people would have probably given up and picked a less tougher route, but Jim didn’t settle for anything less than what he
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 106
Jim somehow pulled off the Bone-Breaking Fist within six hours, but then he continued to practice on it so he wouldn’t forget this feeling of overflowing power in his fists. Thanks to this, his body was able to imprint this feeling down to every cell in his arms.With every breath taken, Jim could feel the cells in his body bursting out of energy like the sun and supplied energy, which streamlined and resulted in a powerful fist strike that was able to easily punch its way through thick concrete walls.As outstanding as it was to watch, Jim couldn’t keep at it for no longer than three minutes. After that, his arms gave up. He felt like he was completely drained out of energy, as if he wouldn’t be able to lift his hand to put a signature for at least a few hours.“Is this the after effect?” Jim asked the old man. “My arms feel quite heavy. I don’t think I can work for a few hours.”“Your body is not used to generating such power, so it’s going to take some time for it to adjust itself,
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 107
Jim kept pumping his fists as he walked out of the room. A growl reached his ears. He looked to his left.A black wolf started to scuttle toward him. It looked like it was coming slowly at first, but then it accelerated super fast and reached Jim in no time. It jumped and tried to bite his face off.Jim ducked diagonally and dodged not just the teeth of the wolf but also its claws.The wolf landed and swiftly swiveled and jumped at him again.Jim, as if he had expected it, threw his fist while turning around.BANG~! BREAK~!Jim’s fist struck the wolf’s front teeth and broke them and pushed the wolf back. The wolf groaned in pain for a second, but then its lost teeth began to regrow.“The hell?” Jim quickly jumped back and made some distance. “It can regrow its teeth? This is unfair!”The wolf was almost four-foot-tall and looked big because of its fur. Now, it looked even more pissed off because of Jim’s unfruitful attack. The wolf’s fur began to glow and catch on flames.“You gotta b

The only saving grace about the dungeon trials was that the pawns wouldn’t be forced to keep competing if they were significantly injured. Of course, if the watchers wanted a pawn to continue fighting with wounds, then they would still be forced to fight, but such a thing only happened only once in a while.Given how nasty Jim’s shoulder injury was, most of the watchers didn’t want him to fight another match. Lovelace was the only person who said that the injury wasn’t that bad, and that Jim could fight another match without a problem.In Jim’s room, AA7.The wound that had been bleeding quite a bit began to heal from the moment he stepped inside. Within an hour, the wound was completely gone, not even leaving a scar.Jim still found it hard to believe that the healing was done by the nanobots because he couldn’t feel anything abnormal moving in his body.Now that he was healed, he wanted to practice the martial art again. However, he remembered how his Bone-Breaking Fist skill wasn’t
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 109
Bob and Austin together arrived at the accident spot, where the heavy truck and the car that were destroyed were still there. It looked very desolate and creepy, especially because there wasn’t any traffic now.Seeing how the car was flipped over and destroyed, Austin drew in his lips. “I heard multiple people died on the spot, but this is quite nasty. Rena is really lucky to have survived this.”Bob squatted down and observed the surroundings of the car.“Are you looking for clues?” Austin asked. “I don’t think you’ll find anything worthy because many people would have stepped over this spot since it’s been more than a day since the accident happened.”“You can do an investigation based on opinion, Austin,” Bob said. “You do it based on the evidence.” He looked around carefully. “There are no obvious signs that tell me that the car came skidding. There are many things that don’t add up. The truck went off the road much further up, whereas this car… it looks like it was blown off the

Bob had picked the spherical biscuit into his hand. It started rolling in his palm, which helped him travel in that direction.Currently, Bob was sitting in Austin’s car, with Austin in the driver’s seat.“Are you sure it’s not giving directions to where Rena is?” Austin joked. “Because it looks like the hair-biscuit GPS system is taking us to the Spring hospital.”“Just keep driving,” Bob calmly replied.A few minutes later.Their car stopped at the Spring hospital. Austin looked at Bob and laughed. “Haha, I told you, didn’t I?”“Maybe, Jim is also in this hospital?” Bob wondered and stepped out of the car and followed the direction the biscuit-ball kept rolling.Austin followed him, but he looked more amused at this point. He no longer believed that what Bob was doing was black magic, but some kind of trickery just to make himself appear as if he was doing something supernatural.As Austin expected, Bob ended up reaching the room Rena was in. Austin controlled himself from laughing
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 111
At Lola’s home.Shiney was alone in the house. She was watching television, but her thoughts were elsewhere.She did go to the hospital, but she couldn’t look at her sister being in such a terrible condition, so she came back to the house.“Where are you, Jim? My parents think that you hurt Rena, but I don’t believe it. There’s just no way that’s the case,” she firmly believed in him. After all, even though she acted out of place and tried to take advantage of him many times, he didn’t get angry at her. He was too good and cool of a guy to let his current wife be in a coma and go elsewhere in Shiney’s opinion.Shiney called his mobile, but again, she was getting the same response. “It’s still switched off.”Her stomach was making a lot of noise, so she came downstairs to the kitchen. She opened the refrigerator, but there was nothing interesting to eat inside. She wanted to eat spicy food.“Should I cook the noodles?” she wondered. “I’ve never made them myself, but I’ve seen Jim cook

AUTHOR'S EPISTLE
THANK YOU:: JIM IS HIM… is finished! Have you enjoyed it? I hope so. I definitely enjoyed writing it as it was challenging. It was supposed to be a 500 chapter long work, but I condensed it and finished it quickly. To all those who read every chapter and reached this page… you have my humble thanks. A big thanks to readers Lynn Casey, Mickey Ritch, and Liwhundebe Emmanuel for their precious votes. A special thanks to Rex Magnus for his lovely review. Much appreciated, Brother. CHARACTERS:: I hope you can take away some memorable characters from this novel. My favorite character is Jim, not because he’s the protagonist, but because he will give me food if I go to his restaurant with empty pockets more than once. 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. She got up and said, “Why don’t you also carry me over there because I can’t walk, you know.”“I was ju

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

CHAPTER 404
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

CHAPTER 403
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

CHAPTER 402
“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

CHAPTER 400
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

CHAPTER 399
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
