JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 328
Jim stood fine after blasting Nero’s body to bits, but Jim’s spine was hurting more than he thought. “His last attack was dangerous. I guess he’s not totally trash. Mm?” he looked down, where there was a tiny metallic sphere that started beeping. “Don’t tell me, this is…”[It is a bomb!] Joe shouted. [Run away!]Jim, however, felt like there was no time for that. He immediately punched down on the spherical ball just as it exploded.BOOM~~! PEWSSHHH!It resulted in a strange noise like when a tire or a balloon was being deflated. Jim’s punch was able to literally nullify the explosion by breaking apart the explosive molecules with his combination of somatic vivre and psychic vivre.If he hadn’t done that, the explosion would have easily destroyed half of the fourth floor and killed many people.Nevertheless, the explosion managed to hurt Jim’s hand which looked bruised. His bones in the hand were aching.“To think he’d have such a sucide-bomb put in his own body…” Jim frowned. “These

Everyone in the dungeon, even the ones remaining on the third floor, began to hear a voice in their heads. Those who knew Jim’s voice understood that it was his voice.The message said: This dungeon is likely going to collapse soon. If you want to live, then leave within an hour from now.That was all the message said.Binnie recognized Jim’s voice, even the message was actually delivered with the help of Joe. “Isn’t he a softie?” she smiled while eating the ashes of her late husband. “I was thinking of leaving this world, but now that I’ve heard this message, I’m having second thoughts about dying.”Nightmare Sisters also heard his voice, but they both felt extremely furious.“Sis, how can we destroy him when he’s so strong?” Little Nightmare asked.“Let us first escape from this dungeon. And then we can think about how to fuck his life up,” Nightmare_lily said.A few others that were on the third floor also heard Jim’s voice and hastily acted.The same could be said about those on t
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 330
The door burst open before Jim even reached the door, and he stopped right after entering the hall, which was more like a living room in a villa with also an indoor pool.“Welcome to my home,” Old Blue started clapping slowly. “You did a marvelous job of beating your way through to this floor as one would expect from someone that picked a hero’s path. I would be lying if I said I expected something like this to happen even though Demon Dwarf told me a few days back that I’m going to be challenged by some youngster. I was thinking that it’d take a few years, but here you are… in just eleven days… you’ve made it almost to the exit. All you need to do right now is get one more victory. A win against this old man just like you bulldozed your way through the other two immortals.”Jim was not surprised by Old Blue’s appearance. He looked like an aged money and lion combo. His skin was all shriveled up, and his forehead had many holds. His head also lost hair in the middle, only had hair on
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 331
Ronny and Doug were exploring the fourth floor. Many rooms were still locked from the outside, and nobody was present in the open rooms as most people were just busy running and getting the hell out of the dungeon.And then they reached a room where they saw a woman locked up in silvery chains. They recognized her as it was Nexa.“Ronny the King!” Nexa immediately called for him. “Release me!”“H-Huh?” Ronny and Doug looked very shocked and puzzled. “What are you doing here? Didn’t you get sold?”“Y-Yeah, but they left me here,” Nexa pitifully said. “Please remove these chains. They are sealing off my demonic power. The keys are right there in that drawer. Hurry up.”“T-There’s no way we can release you,” Doug quickly said. “If we do, then you’re going to kill us! Even worse, you’re going to suck us dry!”“I won’t! I promise!” Nexa almost pleaded. “Please help me. I will help you guys get out of this dungeon. I made a foolish mistake when I was trying to escape and then got caught.”“
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 332
Joker and others were following those that were running out of the building. They did not care about being caught right now. They were only focused on getting out of there. Because the four of them could run fast, there was no problem keeping up with others.And then they reached the metal tunnel, where they saw people getting pulled toward the walls and glued to them.“What the hell is this?” Scarlet frowned.“Why are they…” Ace frowned.“Not everyone is getting stuck,” Heath said. “I think only those slaves who go out without permission might get stuck.”“Yeah, looks like it,” Joker opined. “Maybe, they are using the metals in the body to pull those humans. It looks powerful. Binnie did warn us that the nanobots in our bodies were destroyed, but not all the metal was flushed out yet. Going through this tunnel could be risky, but… we don’t know if there’s another way out or not. And we can’t afford to waste more time.” Joker said and started running forward. “I’ll go first. If I get

“No one will escape from this dungeon, not you, not your friends,” Old Blue said.Jim frowned. “What do you mean?”“The only way you can get out of this dungeon is through two ways,” Old Blue said. “Either you beat me, or you work under me.”“I’ll pick the first choice then,” Jim said without any hesitation.“I know that’s what you want to do, but why don’t you hear my story first?”“Your story?”“Yeah, I had a rather sad childhood,” Old Blue said. “You see, my dad was a member of the brotherhood’s Demona tribe, but he fell in love with a woman and escaped from the brotherhood. After a few years, he came to know that the woman he married and had two kids with was none other than a spy sent by his own dad. On top of that, that same woman used to be a concubine of his dad. And she took her children and brought them back to the brotherhood. It broke his heart, but he also returned to the brotherhood for her. You know what my granddad did to my dad?“He threw a big party, welcoming his so
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 334
Jim’s body flew against his will and straight toward Old Blue’s hand.(Telekinesis?) Jim immediately raised his hand and created a barrier of energy, which stopped Old Blue’s hand from grabbing Jim’s neck.“A wall made from Somatic Vivre?” Old Blue thrust his left hand right through the barrier and tried to grab Jim’s neck again.Jim jumped back.Old Blue managed to grab Jim’s shirt, and so the shirt was completely torn apart.This exposed Jim’s chiseled body.“Mm…” Old Blue looked impressed. “Out of all the men I’ve fought to this day, you have one of the best bodies. But is it just for looks, or is it fully functional? Let us put it to the test!”He stepped to the side, and his body vanished into thin air.“Where is he?” Jim closed his eyes and focus more on his sixth sense, and he was able to see a streak of light coming at him from his seven o’ clock.Jim immediately swiveled and whipped his leg. “Phoenix Whip!” His leg came straight at Old Blue’s face, but then his attack went ri
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 335
At the same time, somewhere else in the city.Tenzin’s car that she had stolen from Jim stopped outside Drake’s restaurant. “Is this the place that Jim owns?” She looked out through the window and saw the restaurant.“No, ma’am,” the driver replied. He was a teenager, someone she recently hired after surviving a killing game where he was the last man standing among 100 fighters. “The report said that he used to own the place, and then he sold it away to someone else for some personal reasons.”“Personal reasons, huh… Then I will just buy it and gift it to Jim once he joins the brotherhood,” Tenzin stepped out of the car. It was dusk at the time, but she was still wearing sunglasses just because she wanted to.The teenager also stepped out. “Do you want me to come with you, ma’am?”“Nah, I’ll handle this myself,” Tenzin said and entered the restaurant. She didn’t even look around and went straight to the center table where a couple was enjoying their time. “I want this table, so go som

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
