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

“Create an advantage for the lower-ranked villains?” Ronny glanced at Joker questioningly. “Aren’t you a high-ranking villain on this floor?” “Well, I’m the eleventh rank, so I can be said to be a high-ranking villain,” Joker casually said, stretching his mustache. “But I’ll be fine even if ten low-ranking villains come at me at once.” “Haha, that’s my lord,” Ace laughed heartily. “He could climb to higher ranks if he wanted, but because any rank from ten and above needs to serve Jeremy directly, he doesn’t climb to those rankings.” “To be more precise, I just like the street I’m ruling,” Joker said. “However, what I do want to see is Jeremy get his ass wrecked, and I believe that…” he looked at Ronny, “you can do it.” Ronny’s heart jerked for a second. “Ahem, I don’t need to raise my hand for the likes of Jeremy or whoever it is. My right-hand man, Jim, will be plenty enough.” “Hoh…” Joker looked at Jim to see if he was willing to fight Jeremy. “You’ve seen him, haven’t you? What
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 170
In Silly Street ruled by the 50th ranked villain named Big Fool.The villains ranked number ten and nine were both having a party together in a local bar because they were going to marry each other.“Though Little Nightmare wasn’t a ranked villain, she was still very capable of being in the top ten,” the tenth-ranked villain Electric Assassin said. He was completely covered in a black attire, with only his eyes open for view. “I tried to assassinate her three times but failed. This hero Jim or whatever, he’s definitely not your average guy. I don’t think it’s a good idea to even give him three days of time. If he makes a contract with the nanobots or makes a deal with a demon, then he’s going to get a lot more powerful.”“Then, are you saying that you want to assassinate him before the three day time limit?” the ninth-ranked villain, Scarlett Storm, said. She was a tall, fit, muscular woman with long red-hair. “Jeremy won’t be happy if we break the rule he set.”“Well, I just have to
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 171
Scarlett, famously known as Scarlett Storm, was known for her bloody killings. She would bash people’s skulls into smithereens, and then dye her hair with their blood. Once she got going, it would be very difficult to stop her, for she was like a storm.Who could stop a storm?Even though Scarlett and Electric Assassin were ranked nine and ten, Scarlett was much stronger than him. In fact, the only villain on the second floor that can stand their ground against her would be only Jeremy. Even the second ranked villain might not be sure about winning if he were to fight her.The reason Scarlett stayed at the ninth rank was just because her lucky number was nine. And the reason Electric Assassin sided with her in the first place was not just because she was gorgeous in her own way but was also someone who had great chances of getting to the next floor. By sticking with her, he thought his chances of climbing to the third floor would also increase. However, after spending a few months tog

“Blink, and you’ll lose.” Scarlett took half a step forward and slashed the sword diagonally. “Storm Slash!”It happened so fast, and an invisible slash came flying at Jim much faster than sound itself.Jim’s instincts screamed him to move out of its way, and he immediately jumped to his right. The buildings behind him were all sliced in half for well over a hundred meters and killed some people in the process.Scarlett slashed her sword horizontally this time, and the slash went right after Jim’s throat. He managed to duck in time. The buildings that were sliced in half were not sliced horizontally again, making them fly and briefly float in air. Over a dozen houses in the vicinity were flying in the air, and it was a terrifying sight for all those that were watching.When these structures came crashing down, more people got stuck under the rubble. And some of them would lose their lives due to lack of oxygen.As chaos ensued in the streets, Jim and Scarlett continued to fight. Jim s
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 173
Jim landed on the ground after sending Scarlett flying. He skidded into a halt and was sucking a deep breath. Just then, he felt a faint disturbance in his energy from behind, which meant that someone was on his back.“Silent Spear!”An electric spear pierced through Jim’s heart from behind and came from the front.“Ngh,” Jim gritted his teeth, but the power that coursed through his chest was too much for him to take. He ended up coughing blood.While the pure electric spear was still running through his chest, Big Fool laughed and jumped at him. “Mountain Fist!” He struck Jim’s head on the side and sent him flying into the distance for hundreds of meters. “Hahaha! Did you see that, Lord Electric Assassin? I killed him with that blow.”“Go and make sure that he’s dead,” Electric Assassin told him before he rushed over to Scarlett and checked on her condition.Her jaw was broken. She lost a few teeth, but she was still conscious. He lifted her off the ground and lay her back in his lap

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

CHAPTER 401
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
