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
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 130
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
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 132
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
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 133
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

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
