JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 116
After using the Bone-Breaking fist on Pyron, Jim realized something. He didn’t need to directly touch the person to land a blow on them. This was because he was sure that his fist didn’t properly connect to Pyron’s jaw. Yet, Pyron was sent flying back.Jim had to read the martial art book for clues again, and now, he understood some things he didn’t previously understand.“So, my body releases ‘vivre’ energy around my fist, like it’s a gauntlet of sorts,” Jim wondered. “I can’t see it, but the book says I’ll be able to feel it as I keep practicing it. What’s more the size of this energy gauntlet can be increased or decreased as per my wish? This is pretty handy as it will help conserve my energy and use it as per demand. If I can learn to reshape the energy, I can use it as different weapons, too. That will be pretty cool.“But what’s perplexing is that the book says that the energy can be accelerated in the presence of both the sun and the moon, which will help me gain new forms of e
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 117
Jim’s expression didn’t change. It stayed stiff even though minutes passed, and he walked hundreds of meters, far away from Pyron’s room.He wasn’t just walking but was thinking back on all that had happened since coming here.“They didn’t tell me that the meat they gave me was human meat,” he frowned. “They may be lying with a lot of other things, too. I cannot trust the people that put me here against my will. No matter how good they may seem…” he briefly remembered the Demon Dwarf, “I should not let my guard down. Never.” His resolve strengthened more as he pondered about all the things that happened recently.There was no guarantee that he would be allowed to go home if he were to clear the dungeon. There was no guarantee that they would even let him go to the next floor with the key they had given.What’s more, Jim couldn’t put his trust in Joe, either, not after how Joe let Jim and his wife suffer in the hands of Stanley.Surely, Jim felt like he had no one but himself to trust
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 118
The woman in pigtails quickly picked up the martial art book. “Ancient martial art?” her eyes lit up. “You have such a cool book? No wonder you were reluctant.” She quickly opened it. “Mm?” The first page was blank. She turned the page, only to see another blank age. She flipped a few more pages, but the result didn’t change. She randomly opened middle pages in the book, and they were blank pages, too. “What the hell?” she barked in frustration. “This book is empty!”“You asked for it,” Jim said. “Now, why don’t you keep your word, too?”She squinted her eyes. “Since this book is empty, you won’t mind if I tear it into pieces, right?”Jim’s expression turned cold. “Don’t cross the line, woman. I’ve already given you enough respect as a fellow human being. Don’t make me lose that little respect I still have for you.”For some reason, Jim’s words made her change her mind. She tossed the book back to him, making him feel a little relieved. “You can go now,” she said.“What? What about th

“I’m Noel,” she said, smiling. “Let’s get inside and have some real fun, shall we? I’ll let you do anything you want to me.”Jim got up to his feet and began to walk in the opposite direction inside.Noel’s jaw dropped. “Huh? W-Wait.” She took a few steps forward.“Don’t,” Jim said without looking back. “I’m not interested.”Noel looked a bit ashamed of herself now. She put her blouse back on, took the cylinder and went back into her room with a disappointed look. “I don’t know whether he will get out of this place alive or not, but if he does, then whoever marries him will be the luckiest woman in the world.” She paused for a moment. “Do I still have a chance? He said he’s not interested, but if I manage to escape this place, then maybe…” She didn’t have a family as her parents died when she was young. She grew up in her aunt’s house, and they made her do all the chores. She didn’t have the time to date any man yet, so she really felt like going after Jim now because she never felt t
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 120
None of the watchers thought Jim would actually pay a visit to Pyron’s room. The surveillance staff immediately informed all the watchers as Jim neared the Pyron’s room.Many watchers stopped what they were doing and quickly logged into stream with channel number J7.“He barely managed to draw the match last time,” Nightmare_lily rebuked him. “Why is he in Pyron's room now? Does he have a death wish?”“Stop acting like you love him, bitch,” Lovelace said. “You just want him to grow so you can devour him later on. Everybody knows that.”“Shut your trap,” Nightmare_lily howled. “You’re worse than me because you enslave men in the name of love.”Fancy Fatty, on the other hand, was eating live baby rat soup, with his obese maid standing right behind him. “Fuck these bitches. They are always yelling on the channel recently because the moderator is on a break.” He muted the speakers and then observed Jim through the screen. “This bastard suffered a nasty shoulder injury not long ago. Even t
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 121
“Are you out of your damn mind?” Nighmare_lily was quick to rebuke Lovelace. “While J7 might have used a powerful technique, that’s all he has. And he’s probably already tired because of that. There’s no way he can take on all the pawns and survive. Besides, he’s chosen the path of a hero. We can’t have him fight everyone.”“Then what do you suggest?” Lovelace asked, her voice laced with annoyance.“Let’s create a hero’s storyline. If he meets our expectations, then we’ll send him upstairs,” Nightmare_lily suggested. “Otherwise, we can just destroy him.”“Sounds reasonable,” Lovelace agreed with her. “Do others also agree with this method?”“We can only decide his opponents while he’s still on that lowest level,” Fancy Fatty said. “So, yes, let’s test him. I’ll be the first one to test him. What do you say?”Nobody disagreed because they knew that Fancy Fatty was a very rich guy. They wouldn’t unnecessarily mess with him during serious situations, even though they would constantly sco
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 122
Fancy Fatty told the Pawn Manager to make Jim’s life difficult in room 9D3. He even went out of his way to tell him, “If you do a good job, I’ll send 25,000 dollars to your account.”The Pawn Manager was a told old man with a big, bushy mustache. He was a chef, and so he personally cooked all the dishes.Meanwhile, Jim was walking in the front with the seven people following him. There were a couple of women among them. One of the guys was bigger and taller than Jim. Even though he was starving, he had this cold appearance that made others give him room and keep enough distance from him. So, he was able to follow Jim closely, and his body language suggested that he wasn’t afraid of anybody.Jim eventually reached room 9D3. It took him more than twenty minutes of walking. He noticed that the rooms have gotten bigger just by far the doors of different rooms were apart.Jim wasn’t sure if the master key would work for this room as well, but once he put the key in and turned it, the door
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 123
A couple of days earlier.Ronny opened his eyes and found himself in a dark room, which immediately spiked his heart rate. He started sweating. “W-Where am I?”Did someone kidnap him for stealing his organs? Or was it his previous landlord who brought him here because he didn’t pay the last month’s rent before leaving the condo? All kinds of crazy thoughts ran through his mind. Before he knew, he was drenched in sweat, even though he hadn't done anything physically demanding yet.It took him a while to control his heartbeat before getting up to his feet. Suddenly, a rat came running out of the toilet room and brushed past his foot as it ran into the hole at the corner.“AHH!” Ronny jumped and screamed in horror, but then he realized that it was a rat. “Fuck! It’s just a rat? That little shit almost made me shit in my pants.”He carefully came to the door and brought his head closer, thinking he might be able to hear any voices, but then when his head touched the door, he was electrocu

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

CHAPTER 405
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
