JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 248
On the third floor of the dungeon. Everyone was feeling anxious even though the tremors below them had ended. “Are you sure this place won’t collapse?” Little Nightmare was fearlessly asking the floor manager who was an old lady with a few missing teeth. “The third floor has two layers of flooring beneath us,” the floor manager, Binnie, said while eating a carrot pudding. “Though we lost one layer, there’s still another layer intact. So, the ground beneath us won’t collapse. You can just go to your place and sleep or do whatever you want without worrying about losing your ground.” “Do you hear what you’re saying?” Little Nightmare yelled again. “If we lost one layer so fast, then what’s the guarantee that we won’t lose the second layer in the same fashion? How do you expect us to feel safe when we’re all in danger? Have you even found what caused this trembling and what destroyed the second layer of foundation? Or were you so busy eating fucking carrot pudding?” “Right now, I wasn

In one of the caves near where there used to be the second floor.“Do you think Jim and Joker are still alive?” Doug asked Ace. They had hid themselves in one the cellars, behind the wooden boxes.“Keep your voice low,” Ace hissed at him. “There are beasts still roaming out there in this cave.”“S-Sorry.”“I hope they’re both alive,” Ace said in a low voice.Love Bullet was still tending to Ronny. “But what bothers me is the future that’s ahead of us. If the second floor is destroyed, then what will happen to us? Will we be allowed to go to the third floor? Or will they purge us for causing this mess?”Her words only worsened their expressions.“You’ve seen those laboratory rooms, haven't you, on your way here?” Love Bullet reminded them. “Those were definitely human-animal hybrid experiments. In the worst case, they might restrain us and then use us for those experiments.”Doug felt chills thinking about it because he had seen a horse-faced man in the laboratory, who was banging on t

Black Arrow and others managed to silently reach the location where the six-tusk mammoth was.Currently, it was rubbing its butt against an old beehive, in which there were no more bees.“Fuck me. I can’t always distinguish between male and female elephants, but look at that thing’s ding-dong,” Doug commented. “It’s bigger than my leg. It’s almost touching the ground. It must be in a really horny mood from all that rubbing.”Love Bullet looked at him with disgust.“Y-You got it wrong, lady. I’m no homo,” Doug quickly said, but she still kept shaking her head. “I’m telling you the truth. I used to have a daughter who’s half your age, you know.”“Stop talking, you fool,” Black Arrow scolded him. “Don’t fucking underestimate that mammoth. It’s a first-tier beast. Some of the first-tier beasts are really freaking strong. If we don’t fight it with everything we’ve got, then there’s no guarantee that we’ll win.”“What do you mean?” Doug snorted. “Boss King can take on that shitty elephant a

Jim opened his eyes. And the first thing he saw was Joker drinking some soft drinks and was also eating spicy chips that looked abnormally red.Seeing Jim wake up, Joker smiled with relief and put the chips packet forward. “Do you want some?”Jim took a few seconds to understand where he was, and then he pushed the chips packet away. “Don’t eat that trash. It looks like red dye 40 is mixed in it.”“So what?” Joker asked.“Why do you think kids have short attention spans these days?” Jim asked.“You mean…” Joker’s expression changed.“From the inability to concentrate or sit still or lacking patience or not having the sense of danger which is natural to humans…” Jim said. “You lose a lot of what gives you common sense just by eating those dyed-foods regularly, especially the ones coated with red dye 40. It’s mixed in many foods these days. And children eat these dyed foods and they also take a lot of sugar through soft drinks and sweets. No wonder they are getting ADHD symptoms. Sugar
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 252
Ever since Jim picked up the hero’s profession, a bounty was being placed on him on the third floor.That bounty increased a lot after Jim defeated strong villains like Nexa, Monmor, and Jeremy.It more than doubled when Jim challenged Barbosa and reached 5000 gold. However, after the lower floors were destroyed, Jim’s bounty once again doubled and reached 10,000 gold.More than half of the scouts came down just for Jim’s bounty and also Ronny’s bounty if possible. Ronny’s bounty was 1000 gold on the third floor.Even Joker had a bounty put on him on the third floor, though it was only 650 gold.“Whoever kills him gets all the gold!”“Screw that! Whoever gets his head will get all the gold!”Ten scouts rushed at Jim like hyenas attacking a lone lion. There was no fear in their eyes, as if they were certain about their victory. The thought of Jim being stronger than them didn’t even come to their minds as they were living on the third floor.However, it was safe to say that they didn’t

“Heavenly Bomb!” He struck Bloody Corpse’s jaw as his right hand was pulled into the mouth.BA DA BOOM~~!!It was one of the special attacks Jim prepared just to fight the three immortals. It was packed with oxygen which wasn’t flammable by itself but could easily set other things on flames upon collision with them. And the same thing happened with Bloody Corpse.Bloody Corpse’s head was set on flames that burned so brightly and strongly that even the ceiling cracked in the cave.Even with a burning head, Bloody Corpse threw a punch at Jim’s head.Jim ducked diagonally and then punched in the liver with his right hand. Bloody Corpse was sent flying into the distant wall.Ace and others were left stunned by what they saw.“Run,” Jim shouted. “This place is going to collapse soon. No matter what happens from here on out, don’t look back. Just run. I’ve cleared the rocks at the entrance, so escape outside.”Though Ace wanted to fight and help Jim at least a little, he knew that he would
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 254
A big part of the ceiling above them collapsed, but none of those big rocks were able to touch them because of the energy their collision kept spreading.All the rocks fell on their sides and kept getting pushed back.Jim felt his barrier weakening as the demonic energy corrupted it steadily. Jim was pouring his energy into the barrier, but it wasn’t doing a good job at regenerating the barrier.“Not bad, Hero,” Bloody Corpse smirked. “How about this?” he suddenly released a pulse of energy that added to the pressure he already put. This broke the barrier at once. Bloody Corpse’s attack struck Jim’s palms directly, but then Jim also used Double Phantom Palm to reflect the opponent’s attack.This negated each other’s attacks, but Bloody Corpse had a clear edge, and Jim was pushed back until he eventually got sent flying into the piles of rock and rubble around him.Jim used them to bounce off and fly back at Bloody Corpse. “Heavenly Bomb Barrage!” He unleashed a chain of attacks that B
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 255
“These little shits…” Bloody Corpse shivered with rage. “How dare you ignore me! I’ll require you to pay with your lives for this!” He spread his arms out, and two black chains released from out of his palms. “Night Light Chains!” These energy chains grew long and tried to seal all four of them. “Seal their souls forever!”Jim formed a large sphere of vivre that covered all of them, including the sabertooth. It blocked the black chains that kept absorbing all the light around, making everything absolutely dark. Within seconds, only the space inside the sphere was bright. It looked like there was no means of escape for them because blackness surrounded them in every direction.“This is crazy,” Electric Assassin could feel the lightning energy all around on the outside of the sphere. “If we step out, we’re going to be burnt to ashes. How long can you hold on against this, Jim?”“Hold on?” Jim raised his hand, which released bright tentacle-like structures out of the sphere, which pierce

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
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
