JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 156
Every civilian that was witnessing the fight between Little Nightmare and Jim wished that he would defeat her, but when they saw Jim crash into the building, which then caught on hot flames, they all felt their breaths robbed out of them all over again. None of them could stand with their spines straight anymore, for fear and death continued to grip their hearts, minds, and very souls.None of them believed they had the strength to defeat the little monster that was worse than anything nightmares they ever had in their dreams, after all.As the people’s heads lowered and their hopes were dying in their infancy, a mighty wind blew and put all the flames on the building to rest.And this wind somehow breathed life and hope back into the hearts of the onlookers that wished Little Nightmare was dead.The people lifted their heads and saw a man climb up the rubble of the rocky house, completely covered in dirt, but his eyes were still very much set on the woman that was standing on the nei
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 157
The mighty clash of Little Nightmare and Jim’s attacks created shockwaves that kept destroying very sturdy stone buildings. The people had to run for their lives, as the ongoing battle was too dangerous for them to be anywhere close. Even those who were hundreds of meters away could feel a strong wind pushing their bodies back.What’s more, Little Nightmare’s attacks were growing stronger by the seconds. She unleashed one flaming attack after another, not caring if people got caught up in her attacks.Jim could have deflected her attacks and saved his stamina, but because that’d cause more casualties, he had to block the attacks and take most of the force onto himself. Even after dozens of attacks, Little Nightmare was grinning. “Your defense is pretty solid. I’ll give you that, but I’m sure your ‘vivre’ reserves are already running out. You are going to collapse any second right?” she vehemently whipped at him.“Why don’t you think about your own safety first?” Jim caught the flaming

Jim frowned at Nightmare_lily’s words. (How does she know my name? Who is she?)“You look much more handsome in person than on the monitor,” Nightmare_lily said. She was very similar to Rena in terms of height and body structure. The only difference was that this woman’s face was a bit longer than normal, probably because of her forehead.“Sis!” Little Nightmare cried in happiness, but then coughed some more blood.“You should focus on recovering, you idiot,” Nightmare_lily coldly advised before shifting her attention back to Jim. “Honestly, I want to fight you and rip you into pieces, but rules are rules. People on the upper floors can’t kill anybody on the lower floor without the floor manager’s permission. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the floor manager’s permission before coming here, or your head would have already been rolling on the floor.”Jim’s gaze sharpened. “You are…”The people in the background were all terrified by the arrival of Nightmare_lily who was many times stronger
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 159
Jim’s heart was beating fast as the villains were talking about grouping together and ganging up on him. He was surely growing anxious, but he still clenched his fists with the resolve to face every enemy in the vicinity.A villain with a poison dagger sneaked up on Jim and tried to cut the back of his neck. He was short and fast, but Jim ducked in time.The short villain swiveled on one toe and struck Jim’s ankle, trying to make him fall to the floor, so he could then attack him and riddle his body with holes using his beloved poison dagger.Jim indeed lost his footing, and the short villain grinned and brought the knife down at his chest.“Phantom Palm!” Jim fearlessly thrust his palm at the incoming dagger.BAM~! CRACK~!The invisible shockwave sent by Jim’s palm not only stopped the attack but also struck the opponent like a mighty wave of energy and sent him flying high and into the ceiling.The short villain’s eyes widened, and the dagger fell out of his hand. As the short villa

Jim didn’t realize that he was so tired until all the villains left, and he loosened his spine. He sat down, but his heartbeat was still going strong.[You did well.] Joe said. [But you would have lost your life, too. You should be more careful, or you won’t be lucky all the time.]“If I don’t take risks, I won’t grow fast,” Jim said. “I can clearly feel it. Whenever I’m fighting, I can’t use all the skills I practiced, but I’m definitely improving. I have to get used to fighting these villains, so I’ll be clashing with as many as I can.”[Don’t tell me… you’re planning to attack them before the three day limit given to you?] Joe quickly asked.“No. I’ll use this time to learn more about this floor and also practice my skills to improve my stamina,” Jim said with resolve. “I have to prepare for the worst case scenario.”[That would be fighting all the villains on this floor.]“And also the guy that brought me here,” Jim’s gaze turned cold. “I have to be ready to face him even if he at
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 161
“Why are you lying?” the topless woman asked back. “You came to this place and fought with Little Nightmare. She didn’t attack you first. You came here and threatened her position. So, the fight happened because of you. You are responsible for all this destruction. Why don’t you at least accept that fact, even though you don’t look like you’ll take responsibility for it?”“I never said I wasn’t part of the reason why the house got destroyed,” Jim said. “I only said that it’s not my fault. We live in a place where you can basically do whatever you want. You can’t blame anybody for destroying your house, much less putting a dagger in your heart.”The topless woman frowned. “It is now clear that you’re not the hero that we thought you were. You just came here to occupy this place. Am I correct in assuming that?”“Yep,” Jim replied with a straight face. “That was my intention all along. I’m not in a position to shoulder bigger responsibilities because I already have a lot of shit in my mi
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 162
“T-There’s something on your hair, dude!” Jim didn’t freak out, but his heart definitely was thumping against his chest.“Ah, it must be the demon that is in me,” the adult man spoke with a bit of regret in his tone.“D-Demon?” Jim’s eyes slightly widened. “You knew that thing was in you?”“Not just me, but almost everybody on this floor has one in them,” he said. “The nanobots in us would build a system that is like a double-edged sword. It gives us strength, but at the same time, it also helps demons take a strong hold of us. If you try to resist them too much, they have the power to even kill you through the nanosystem. Many tried and failed. The only choice we have is to keep moving with them.”Jim didn’t take his glasses out because he could see the bull-faced demon grinning at him. “This is very creepy. I didn’t know that nanobots would bring demons into our bodies.”“You don’t seem to be using their power,” the adult man said, “which means you probably didn’t accept the nanobo
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 163
Doug brought Jim to the underground training room, which had a big rock door that required multiple men to push it. As Jim saw these men struggle, he told them to move aside and pushed the door open all by himself.“As expected of our new lord, he’s quite powerful!” One of those men said.“He brought Little Nightmare to her knees, so of course, he’s pretty powerful,” Doug told them. “Stay here and take care of his needs.”“Since when did you become our boss?” they snorted at him.“I’m his assistant now,” Doug proudly said. “So you better listen to me unless you want to lose your job here.”“N-No,” they quickly changed their minds because just guarding the training grounds would get them food once a day. Getting good once every day was not common on the second floor. Only the strong got to weak multiple times a day, after all.The training grounds was a big hall full of stone dumbbells, barbells, and many more exercise equipment. There were even stone poles where calisthenics could be

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
