JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 88
Jim opened his eyes and found himself in a dark room, wearing nothing but shorts. He checked his hand, and his wedding ring was gone, but the other ring stayed.His gut still ached as if gas was pricking his diaphragm, but it was actually the pain from the battle he had with Stanley, a one-sided one at that.Jim’s expression slowly but surely dullened as he remembered Rena. What might have happened to her? Did she really die?“Anne, can you hear me?” he asked but received no response. “Joe?” he asked, but the same was the result. Were they purposely keeping silent, or were they unable to answer? He didn’t know.With effort, he got up to his feet and walked up to the door, which was the only thing that was faintly glowing in the room. He touched it and was suddenly electrocuted. It wasn’t to the point to kill him but make him greatly suffer.Jim managed to move back just in time. If he had stayed in contact with the door for a few more seconds, his heart might have really stopped.Jim
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 89
The flamehounds were known for their extreme aggressiveness and killing their prey in gruesome ways. By the time they were done, the pray would look like molten ice cream, completely unrecognizable from head to toe.When the sponsor ‘Fancy Fatty’ released the flamehound, almost every other sponsor who was watching bet that Jim would lose. The odds were 1:2 as with any contestant in the initial stages.But there was one sponsor, a female with the sponsor_id ‘Nightmare_Lily’ who began to drool at Jim’s handsomeness, and she bet in Jim’s favor. “How could they throw such a pretty specimen in that dangerous place? Those people surely don’t have hearts. I hope he makes it out alive so I can devour him myself.”There were only over two dozen sponsors that were watching right now.The flamehound saw Jim and charged him with full speed.Jim’s body was not in good condition, but the sheer fear from seeing the hideous dog released a rush of adrenaline in his body. The corridor was twelve feet w
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 90
The woman with the tattoo ‘K3’ on her shoulder began to walk toward Jim, “You managed to defeat a flamehound, huh. Not bad, but you’re going to lose your life today. Don’t take this personally. I’m just doing what I can to survive in this hell hole!” “W-Wait,” Jim quickly said. “Let’s talk.” “Talking wouldn’t get us anywhere,” she said. “We’re hundreds of feet deep underground. We can’t escape this place unless we survive all the ordeals the watchers put us through.” “L-Let’s team up and take them on together,” Jim said. “Hmph, do you think just the two of us can defeat armies of men wielding guns?” she snorted. “Don’t kid yourself. The only way to escape this place is to do their bidding.” She walked until she was ten feet away from Jim before she suddenly dashed forth and swung both the daggers at Jim’s throat as well as his gut. Her intention was pretty clear. She wanted to kill him as swiftly as possible. Jim jumped back and managed to dodge the daggers, but her speed increase
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 91
The big one-eyed guy would easily weigh over 300 pounds; the spiked club in his hand was dyed with blood. And he looked like he couldn’t wait to kill Jim. Clearly, this guy had killed people before. “If I make a soup out of your facial skin, I’m sure I’ll become a bit more handsome,” he confidently and arrogantly walked toward Jim, as if he could destroy his opponent without much of a problem even though Jim was wielding two daggers. “Do we really have to fight each other?” Jim asked. “Fighting wouldn’t do it,” he replied. “Killing is the only way we’ll survive, of course unless the watchers explicitly want us to fight without killing each other, but I doubt they’d care for trash like you.” “How many people did you kill?” Jim asked without hesitation. The bulky man grinned. “You’ll be my fifteenth. If I win a hundred matches, I’ll be able to get out of this dark place, they said, and I plan to get out of here at any cost. So, why don’t you just give up on your life, and I’ll make
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 92
Jim entered the room, which was dark at the moment. And the door closed behind him. A light turned on, revealing the things that were in the room.There was no pillow or bed, but there was an attached bathroom. A pot of water, and some canned food. Nothing more.He went and sat by a wall, leaning his back against the wall. His left shoulder and right forearm were hurting badly, and so he couldn’t put a straight face.[You survived for now.] Joe’s voice rang in his mind. [But from the looks of it, you’ll have to survive 97 more fights before you can even get out of this level.]“Level?”[Yeah. You’re in the lowest level of this dungeon.] Joe said rather casually. [It’s like a pyramid. The lowest level is the biggest in terms of area.]Jim’s expression changed. “How do you know that?”[I just do.]“Hmph. How many levels are there?”[I can tell you, but I don’t want to tell you.] Joe teased him. [If you manage to get out of this level, then I’ll tell you.]Jim didn’t say anything.The do
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 93
Jim was about to vomit, but Joe stopped it by contracting his throat muscles and said, [It’s useless. Those things have already spread out and been absorbed by your gut.]“This fast?” Jim shook his head. “I don’t believe you.” He poked his finger deep into his nose and tried to forcibly vomit. Still, nothing but saliva produced in his mouth. “What the hell? Why don’t you even let me vomit out bad stuff?”[If you vomit, then I think they’ll make you drink that bad stuff again.] Joe said, startling Jim. [Don’t forget that this room has four cameras on four corners. They will be watching your every move. Puking the stuff out after seeing its effects would only attract unnecessary attention. In times like these, you should be smart. The nanobots, worms, and parasites might harm an ordinary person, but I’m with you, so there’s nothing to be afraid of.]“Bullshit. If you were really that dependable, I wouldn’t be here in the first place,” Jim gnashed his teeth. “I wouldn’t have watched my w
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 94
Jim opened his eyes and was surprised because he didn’t know when he had fallen asleep. He checked his injuries, and it seemed like they almost completely healed. He was able to freely move his left shoulder and clench his right hand. He was not expecting the nanobots to heal to this extent.[You finally woke up. They are probably going to call you out soon.] Joe said. [There’s a guy who’s won five matches straight and barely suffered injuries. He’s probably a street fighter. He moves pretty past.]Jim’s expression stayed the same. He grabbed a packet of chips and began to eat them quickly.[I was expecting you to get tense. Aren’t you worried about facing him?] Joe asked.“I’ll probably have to face everyone here on this level,” Jim said. “That means, I’ll have to mentally prepare myself to kill them.” His hand shivered at the possibility of fighting someone he knew. “It’s one thing to kill criminals, but most of the people here are stuck just like me and have other choice but to kil
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 95
Jim mentally prepared himself to fight, and his body was ready to move toward the door that just opened, but his body automatically stopped when his eyes saw an eight-year-old girl step out of the room, holding what looked like two grenades in her hands. And she was trembling in fear. “I want to see my mommy,” she cried and shed tears as she looked at Jim. “Will you help me, uncle?” Jim frowned. “What sort of joke is this? Am I supposed to kill this little girl now? You call this a challenge? Will you get horny by watching me kill this girl, you damn watchers?” [Hey, I don’t think it’s a good idea to scold them.] Joe said. [Instead, you should focus on your opponent. She may be a kid, but if she hits you with those bombs, you’ll die a dog’s death.] The little girl suddenly froze in her steps midway. “What the…” Jim didn’t get what was happening. “D-Did she just freeze?” [I think they controlled her body and froze her through frequency waves.] Joe said. “T-They can do that?” Jim

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

CHAPTER 405
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

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
