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

“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
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 164
Ronny was given a private room on the top floor of Joker’s Place.Currently, two beautiful women were giving him company. Even though he would have loved to smile and laugh together with them, he had to put up a rigid front because these women might have been put to just spy on him.Jim had already warned him to be extremely careful if he wanted to survive in this place. And Ronny took Jim’s words very seriously.“What did you eat growing up for you to have become this big, Master Ronny?” the female with a mole on her chin asked in a sexy voice. “What’s your favorite dish? Tell me so I can cook it and feed it to you.”“Salmon fish,” Ronny replied. “I love and respect salmon because they travel thousands of miles to lay eggs. Along the way, they don’t even eat anything. They climb waterfalls, escape from bears and other predators… all so they can give birth to their young. Isn’t that beautiful.”“It really is,” the brunette with a mole on her chin touched her cheek in surprise. “I did

If anybody asked Ronny a day or before if he’d ever experience bliss in this dungeon, then the answer would have been a resounding no.However, if one were to ask him the same question right now, as he was sleeping in the midst of a blonde on one side and brunette on the other side, with all three of them completely naked, he’d give a very different answer.“You are definitely older than thirty, yet you were able to shoot six times already,” the blonde caressed his shoulder with her lips. “But… Can you do it for the seventh time?”“My heart wants to, but my body feels like it’s deprived of energy,” Ronny said.“How can you say that when you didn’t make me or the other woman climax?” the blonde complained. “Is size all that you have? Without proper technique, you can’t conquer the heart of any woman.”“It’s not like they teach you technique in school,” Ronny tried to defend himself. “And I hated school anyway.”“Why? Did you not like the girls in your school?” the brunette asked.“No,
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 166
Jim was reading the martial arts book with full focus. This was his seventh time reading the book from beginning to the end.After reaching the end, he put the book down and inhaled deeply. “Every time I read this book, I learn something new, something I overlooked during the previous reads.”[What did you find this time?] Joe curiously asked.“I couldn’t find anything on how to fastly improve my vivre control, but… I realized that I can refine the vivre within me to make it more pure. It’s one way to make up for the lack of quantity. If I want to beat Jeremy who’s been here for well over three years, then I have to beat him with quality. But the process of refining the vivre with my lungs seem to be a complicated and tiresome process.”[Why don’t you keep the book open and practice?] Joe asked. [So that you won’t make any unnecessary mistakes?]“Good idea,” Jim opened the book in reverse, unintentionally. To his surprise, the words began to rearrange right before his eyes. “This is…”
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 167
“Unbelievable… To think that the God of War was my ancestor…”[Hold your horses, Jim. You both have the same family name. That doesn’t mean you’re his descendant.]“Hmph, are you jealous now?”[Why would I be jealous?] Joe snorted. [If you’re a descendant of a powerful character, that actually benefits me, don’t you think?]“Huh, you flip your script however you want without any shame.”[That’s called being potent.]“No, it’s called being shameless! If you had a body, I’d given you a whack on the back of your neck with a big fucking stick,” Jim blurted.[I get it. You’re still angry because I didn’t help you fight the big guy so that no harm came close to Rena.] Joe said. [I totally get your frustration.]“No, you don’t.”A few seconds of silence passed.Jim closed the book. “Direct or indirect, he’s still my ancestor. And he’s talked about demons and signing names in blood. I thought that was all fun and fiction, but he was very serious about it. If I didn’t see that demon appearing
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 168
A few hours later.Jim walked out of the training grounds as a sweaty, tired man. The guards waiting outside prepared a hot drink, which was yellow in color.“Is this urine?” Jim asked doubtfully.“No, my lord. It’s pineapple peel tea,” one of the guards said. “It’s very healthy after a workout. It relieves the joint pain and all.”“Mm…” Jim hesitantly brought his nose closer to the cup. To his relief, it really did smell like pineapple. He tasted it, and it wasn’t half bad. “It would have been better if you didn’t add sugar. I don’t like sugar, you see.”“Then we’ll add honey from now on, Lord Jim,” the guards said.“Cool. Tell me what generally happens in this street,” Jim asked them. “What’s the most exciting thing that people talk about?”“What else? Deaths, of course.”As the guards rambled nonstop, Jim learned a lot of things. First and foremost, people die every week on the second floor for silly reasons. There would be times when villains would fight over beer bottles and kill
