JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 147
“What do you think is up there?” Ronny asked.“It’s definitely not freedom,” Jim said. “From what the robot hinted, there are four floors. So, the second floor is just a passing stop.”“Of course. We’re going to keep climbing until we get the hell out of this dungeon,” Ronny said. “Now, ladies’ man first.”Jim glanced at him and raised a brow. “Ladies’ man? Seriously?”“C’mon, you should look at yourself in the mirror,” Ronny blurted. “Of course, you got a great body and all, but you look like a fine specimen after you put the suit on. You’ve got the look and the swag in your genes. If you were to say you’re a billionaire’s son, I wouldn’t doubt you.”“My dad is a chef,” Jim replied.“Can’t chefs be billionaires?” Ronny retorted.“Name one billionaire chef,” Jim asked.Ronny paused a second and said, “Your dad.”Jim paused this time and laughed just a little.“Haha,” Ronny also laughed a little.This was the first time they shared a genuine laugh together since they met, even though i
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 148
BAM!A loud noise erupted, and the metal door that was sealed away was torn out of its place and was sent flying a few feet away before it crashed in an even louder thud on the rocky floor.Jim and Ronny stepped out and into the second floor.Jim immediately cast a cold glance at Ronny, making him take a step back. “That’s right. Keep some distance. Always. I don’t want to ever hear your fart again. If I do, then I’m going to beat the shit out of you, for sure.”“G-Got it, Brother,” Ronny pitifully said. He had definitely embarrassed himself, as he had let out the loudest fart of his life. So, he couldn’t complain now.Jim’s attention soon shifted to observing the second floor. It was completely different from the first floor, in that the second floor looked like an underground town with a ceiling that was as high as hundred feet.Currently, Jim was at a height of fifty feet from the ground level of the second floor, so he was able to take a better look at the entire second floor, wh

“By money, we meant gold. Gold coins. Only those are accepted as currency on this floor,” the man with the car explained with a smile that showed all his front yellow teeth. He was not pleasant to look at, and the smell these three men gave off was far from good.Ronny remained silent, so the three men didn’t quite understand what his intentions were. Did Ronny want to stay at the hotel without paying anything?“We have gold bars,” Jim said.“Oh…” the eyes of the three men lit up. “Then you can easily convert them to coins and stay at our hotel. We’ll offer the only VIP room and service to you for as long as you stay here. You can live there like a king, sir.”“Hmph,” Ronny indifferently snorted. “Lead the way.”All three of them happily led the way. Ronny followed them with a stone-face. Jim was in the back, carrying the bags with some effort as they weighed quite a bit.As they reached the town, there was a guard post, where an old lady with a rifle was sitting. She pointed the rifl

After crushing Jumbo, Jim picked up the bags again and followed Ronny and others.The man with the scar had a different expression now. He was being more friendly as he talked with Ronny. “My name is Ace. My lord is Joker. The second floor has a total of 108 streets, which are ruled by 36 lords. My lord is one of them. You can say that the lords are the strongest people on this floor. If you can defeat a lord, you can get the territory he has.”“Oh, then why don’t the lords defeat other lords?” Ronny asked. “Why are there 36 of them?”Ace smiled. “Because defeating one lord and acquiring his street is one thing, but defeating two or more lords will get the attention of other lords. And they will do everything in their power to suppress you. So, in a way, the lords keep the balance going on this second floor.”“I see,” Ronny smiled as if he was confident in himself. “There’s no sun or moon here, right? What do you guys do for a living?”“We get food delivered to us by the robots after
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 151
Because it was a hotel, it didn’t take longer than ten minutes to get all the food arranged on the dining table.In that time, all the gold bars were converted into gold coins. Joker didn’t give them physical gold coins but digital gold coins as that was necessary to participate in the auctions or the pawn betting games.Still, it was only one bag that Ronny and Jim decided to convert into digital gold coins because they were both planning to take the remaining two bags of gold outside the dungeon.Currently, Jim had three bags with him. One was full of guns, and the other two were full of 24K gold bars with 99.9 percent purity. Many eyes were on Jim, and he could feel their gazes.Ronny was holding two mobiles, which had an application that allowed one to use the dungeon website. To Ronny and Jim’s surprise, their accounts were already made, so all they had to do was login using their retina scan. Both of them were able to check their balance, which was over 800 coins, which was equa
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 152
After talking with Joker and Ace, Jim told Ronny in front of everyone, “Boss, let me go and empty a lord’s seat for you. You can then come and sit on the throne.”Ace was very surprised to hear that. “Are you really going after Little_Nightmare?”“You said that she sells the fruits and vegetables at a high price, didn’t you?” Jim replied. “If I defeat her, then all those profits will be mine, right? I mean, they’ll be my boss’s, right?”“I already warned you about Nightmare_lily,” Ace said. “If you still want to attack her, then go on.”“I don’t know the route to her territory, so I need you to come with me,” Jim said.“What?” Ace’s heart skipped a beat. “No, I won’t.”“You will go,” Joker said, startling Ace.“But, Boss…” Ace tried to reason with him, but Joker’s expression didn’t change.Joker looked at Jim. “You can depend on my right hand man for support.”“Don’t think he’s weaker than me just because he calls me boss,” Ronny blurted. “He doesn’t need anybody’s help. He can defeat
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 153
A few minutes earlier.In the middle of the street, an adult man’s body was cut open against his will, and half of his liver was collected. “How could you do this to me?” he cried out. “I was only a minute late.”“Be grateful that I only cut half and not ninety percent of it, Daddy,” a guy wearing black uniform with plastic horns on his head was snickering at one of the civilians on the second floor living in Flower Street.The adult man with checkered pants cried miserably. “If you cut half of my liver, the nano-system is going to demand me to do a lot more crazy things. I can’t listen to that evil system anymore. You should rather kill me. I’d happily go to hell rather than suffer here.”“Haha, how can we lose free flesh supply?” The guy in the uniform laughed and walked away. “You are all going to work hard for our lord. That’s your only purpose of existence. If you really want to die, then die for our lord. Go to her, and she’ll grant you a nightmarish death.”The adult man trembl
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 154
“The prey has come to my doorstep all by itself,” Little Nightmare dashed straight ahead, leaving a gust of wind behind that set the flowers of the garden in motion. “I was thinking of making him my underling, but since he already laid his hands on my people, I’m not going to be satisfied until I at least cut one of his arms, or break half of his teeth.”It didn’t take longer than fifteen seconds for her to reach the location where Jim was fighting.In an alley between four houses, Jim was facing ten people all by himself. With his fists, he sent people flying without even touching them.“That’s the mysterious energy manipulation technique,” Little Nightmare squinted her eyes as she looked down at him from the rooftop. “Vivre user, huh. Now I can see how he was able to destroy the sealed metal door.” She grinned. “He really is worth fighting.”As Jim was throwing a punch at one of the opponents, a whip came flying out of nowhere and wrapped itself around his arm.“Mm?” Jim looked up w

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
