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 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
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
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
It had been half-an-hour, but Shiney was yet to finish eating the noodles. A waiter came to her table and asked her if she wanted a soft drink to go with the noodles.“I’ll have coke, if it’s stored in the glass bottle,” she said.“No, ma’am. We only have them in plastic bottles.”“Then, no thanks.”“What’s the difference?” the waiter couldn’t help but ask.“Everything. Be it freshness or the flavor, it’s way better when you store it in the glass bottle,” Shiney said. “Plastic bottles don’t retain the original flavor, and my tongue is sensitive, so I can easily taste the plastic that gets mixed into the drink.”“Okay, then please do eat quickly,” the waiter told her in a low voice, “because the manager is not happy because you’re eating very slowly even though you only ordered just one cheap item.”“Five dollars isn’t cheap,” Shiney blurted, “but I get it.” She got up from the chair and began to walk away, without eating the rest of the noodles. The waiter tried to stop her, but the m
Once Jim regained his stamina, he didn’t waste his time sitting in that room. He grabbed the book and walked out, still wearing nothing but shorts.“I’d like to find some clothes first,” Jim uttered. “And a bag, too, so I can put this book it and also carry some food and water bottles with me.”He kept walking while observing the rooms that were already open, but he didn’t find any people living there, nor did he find any clothes that he could use. To his surprise, he found a metallic watch, which was working. He wondered if he should pick it up or not.[What are you hesitating for?] Joe asked. [A watch can help you optimize your time. Take it.]“But, it looks like this was someone’s watch…” Jim said. “They must have had many memories with it. I don’t think I can put it on and not feel like I’ve stolen it. It just doesn’t feel right.”[Huh? Are you forgetting that you’re in a place where you need to do everything you can to survive?] Joe blurted. [You already killed people, and now yo
