JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 127
Stanley the Mountain. He was very popular among the watchers for his ruthlessness. He held the record for killing the most number of people on his way to reach the top floor. There were many stories told about him that he fought hundreds of people at once and then sat upon the heaps of dead bodies and smoked cigars.Most of the mid-level watchers were of recent years, so they didn’t know how scary Stanley really was. The only person in the chat who had personally seen some of the things Stanley had done was Bald Brute.“Stanley… he’s never come to the website to watch the pawns before,” Bald Brute thought. “Why’s he here now? Is he interested in R1 like I am? This is going to be troublesome. Although I’m much stronger than I was a decade back, I’m still not as good as he was back then. There’s no way I can defeat that mountain of a man. If he’s really after R1, I can only give up on him.”Meanwhile, Stanley was watching the CCTV footage while sitting outside his house that was on top

In Jim’s room. Jim was back to practicing the martial art again. He was trying to condense the vivre to create sharper and more powerful attacks while conserving his energy. The martial art book only gave a basic description, so Jim was now having to figure out the rest by himself. This was to his preference as well, though he wished he had time on his side, too. “Why did you take the hero’s path?” Ronny asked. “I mean, if you use common sense, that’s the most difficult path to take because we’re obviously kidnapped by bad guys, and they’ll definitely love to torture those trying to act like the good guys. Are you not afraid of being particularly targeted by those people?” Jim wasn’t expecting such a question from Ronny. “I’m wary of the strong, but the people that concern me even more are those who have no meaning to their lives. These are the ones that have no restraint in their hearts and kill for fun. I have seen those kinds of people in the past, and I think that Baker, Lovelac

W6 was in the corridor, walking aimlessly. She was hearing voices, hallucinating, and kept suffering from muscle pain all over her body. She didn’t look at herself anymore but more like a soulless being who couldn’t think for herself. The cause of this was the parasites that had begun to infest her brain in particular.As W6 was walking past the room Jim and Ronny were on, her nose twitched as the parasites in her could smell two new hosts that were in the room. They made her bang on the door, but then she got electrocuted and had to stop.“What the hell was that?” Ronny’s heart danced in his throat. He remembered the times when he used to live in the condo and the owner knocked on the door, asking for rent. Even the owner wouldn’t beat the door this hard. This was way more scary. All the hair on his arms stood up.Jim’s brows drew together. He went closer to the door and closed his eyes, trying to sense the person on the other side. He was able to hear the woman outside hissing in a

The door opened slowly, adding to the drama.Ronny’s head slowly turned to look outside. A short-haired woman with blacks under her eyes was watching them, and her hissing grew louder and turned into a growl at once.She bent her knees and jumped into the room, pushed Ronny aside with a sweep of her hand and clawed at Jim.Jim moved back, but the wind pressure from her attack still cut his skin but only barely. No blood leaked out. This attack of affecting the wind reminded him of Lovelace, though this one was very weak compared to what Lovelace had done.“Grrr!” she thrust her hand at him, making him instinctively step back again. However, she swiveled and then thrust her foot instead. Jim saw the kick coming, but his body didn’t get away in time.Her foot struck him right in the kidney and sent him rolling back. A sharp pain gripped his core, making it impossible for him to get up right away.The woman ran at him and tried to bite his ear.“No!” Jim used both of his hands to press a

Jim’s arms were still bleeding, so he couldn’t run fast, either. A lot of thoughts ran through his mind.What if some door were to open now, forcing him to fight again? What if multiple doors opened?Moreover, what if Ronny decided to attack him now?All these thoughts kept his heart running faster than ever. His mind worked on hyper mode. Staying outside was much riskier, so he risked it and said, “There’s a key in my pocket.”“Key?” Ronny remembered that Jim had a master key. Seeing that Jim’s arms were not in a position to grab the key and open the room door, Ronny put his hand in Jim’s pocket and took the key out.It was the key that could open any door on that floor, the lowest floor and also called the fourth floor of the dungeon.The thought of running away with the key did cross Ronny’s mind, but he believed that he had a much greater chance of survival with Jim. So he opened the door.There was a robot with a human face and a dog inside.“You’re not supposed to come into this

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

After resting for an hour, Jim trained for the next few hours, taking short intervals in between.Ronny couldn’t believe how Jim was able to work so much. “I’m feeling so hungry even though I barely worked, but how’s he able to work out so much and not complain about hunger? Just what is with this guy? He’s able to get the master key, and he’s also not afraid of being in the same room as this robot. He’s definitely not your ordinary guy. I just hope he’ll not die before he gets me out of this damned place.”Jim eventually finished his practice and looked at the robot that had been sitting in the same position all this while. “Is it possible for you to take me to the next floor?”“That’s not something I can decide by myself,” the robot replied.“I see,” Jim understood that the robot was capable of taking him to the next floor, but it wasn’t allowed to do so. He looked up at the ceiling. “What if I just make a hole in it?”Ronny was startled to hear that.The robot grinned. “You can cer

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
