JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 99
“Who are you? Why did you try to kill me?” Jim asked the eight-year-old a straight question as he didn’t feel safe around her. After all, she had thrown a grenade at him, and he could have easily died back then.By God’s grace, he managed to survive. And so, he didn’t want to trust this girl anymore.“You’re doubting me after I saved you?” the little girl said.“Saved me? You call that saving?” Jim’s jaw hardened. “Are you fucking with me right now?”Seeing the anger rising into his eyes, the little girl’s heart shook for a second. “I-I’m Natalie. I’m a fourth grade student in Saint Charles high school. It’s been at least a couple of weeks since I came here. I’m not an adult, so they allowed me to take the survivor path even though I haven’t won 30 fights yet. And they gave me the bombs. I won two fights till now with the help of the bombs.”Jim frowned. “That still doesn’t explain how you were able to easily pull the grenade pin. Where did you get that strength?”“AFter they made me
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 100
Jim kept walking down the corridor until he reached rooms starting with Z. He kept going, wanting to see what would come after Z, but to his disappointed rooms started with AA, BB, and so on. “Just how far does this thing go?” Jim could only wonder at this moment. He was about to use the master key to open room number AA1. [Are you sure you want to do that?] Joe’s voice rang in his mind, stopping him. [What if the difficulty level of A1 and AA1 are much different? Will you be able to handle the person inside this room? What if they chose to attack you regardless of what you say?] “If I keep thinking about all those things, then I’ll never be able to open a door,” Jim put the key in the hole and twisted it. He opened the door but didn’t enter. There was a giant man sitting on the floor by the wall. He was so big, Jim remembered Stanley for a second. This man had a thick beard and many scars on his face. He was bulky and muscular like a war horse. “I’ve been so lonely because they w
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 101
Jim was sitting by a wall inside his new room and was staring at the wall opposite to him. There were four options available for him as per the items fixed the wall suggested. One item was robotic arms. If he were to choose them, his real arms would be fortified by the mechanical power of cyborgs. Another item was robotic legs. This would replace real legs with mechanical ones but would grant a lot of strength in return. The third item was gut strings, where a person’s gut would be alerted so that they would be able to shoot strings out of their belly and use them to travel around and kill people like a spider would. The fourth one was a book titled Ancient Martial Art. “So, I can select one out of those four, huh…” Jim uttered. “Yes,” a robotic female voice spoke through a mic in the wall. “You can think of it as a gift because you’ll need to get stronger if you want to keep winning.” “I don’t want to mess with my body, so I will choose the book,” Jim said. “Ancient Martial Ar

Jim got up to his feet despite the unbearable pain in his chest. Though the old man realized that, he didn’t stop or turn his head back. He kept walking.Jim took a couple of steps forward. The pain proved too much to bear, and he gasped for air and then lost consciousness and collapsed forward.The old man stopped by the door and shut it from the inside. He turned around and observed Jim. “Mm…he’s at least got the determination to not give up. You need that much if you want to reach a high level in the realm of martial arts.” He used his foot to turn Jim’s body to the other side. And then he poked Jim’s chest at multiple spots. “Now that I’ve released his energy channels… he should feel a lot better when he wakes up.”He then picked up the martial art book, went to the side, sat down, and began to read it upside down.A few hours later.Jim opened his eyes, only to see the old man coming out of the bathroom.Jim’s heartbeat raced at once, which made him touch his chest because he was
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 103
As night fell, three young men who had their eyes on Bob’s house for hours finally began to approach it.“Bob Shriner… his paintings were sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars in the past. Some of his best paintings were sold for millions, too.”“Yeah. If we can get our hands on at least three of his paintings, then our lives are settled.”“Why only three? Let’s take everything he has.”“Haha.”The three of them used some kind of electronic device to unlock the electronic lock system and opened the main door of Bob’s house. They quickly entered and locked the door.Straight away, they could see many paintings on the walls, and it lit up their faces.“He’s fucking hanging all these on the walls. What a waste.”“Let’s pack them all and leave before he returns.”They had a large van stationed outside the building, so they were confident about leaving after loading all these paintings in the cover of darkness.They used machinery to efficiently cut the frames and take the paintings ou
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 104
Jim was done with practicing because he had been at it for so long he wasn’t able to move anymore. Every part of his body was hurting now, even his brain, because he had to keep his focus high for a very long time during the whole practice session that lasted for hours. The old man also kept hitting him with the stick, so that only added to the pain that Jim was already feeling from the sheer physical exertion, which was very different compared to exercising in the gym. Jim didn’t hate this change. In fact, he liked how tired he was. Usually, his pants wouldn’t get completely soaked after exercise, but now, his shorts were soaking wet. A layer of sweat covered every inch of his body, even the soles of his feet. The humanoid robot brought food. “You should eat so that you’ll recover your strength quickly,” the old man said. “Then you can get back to practice.” Jim was quite hungry, so he hurriedly sat up to eat what looked like meat fry. [You don’t want to eat it.] Joe said, makin
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 105
Jim kept punching the wooden posts that the robot had supplied in abundance.. Instead of rushing, he kept giving the punches everything, even though striking the wood hurt like hell.Whenever Jim stopped from pain, Demon Dwarf told him to continue hitting. “If you stop, you won’t be able to win at all. Use the breathing technique as well as the mental technique together with the punch. Only then, your body will be able to bring out the miracle.”Jim understood that, which was exactly why he was giving it everything with every single punch even though his bones were being bruised and fractured. Though the robot helped Jim by healing his injuries by commanding the nanobots, the nanobots in his body still used part of his energy to heal him, so he felt tired as a result. Bearing the pain of punching wooden posts when he felt tired and hungry was not at all easy. Most people would have probably given up and picked a less tougher route, but Jim didn’t settle for anything less than what he
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 106
Jim somehow pulled off the Bone-Breaking Fist within six hours, but then he continued to practice on it so he wouldn’t forget this feeling of overflowing power in his fists. Thanks to this, his body was able to imprint this feeling down to every cell in his arms.With every breath taken, Jim could feel the cells in his body bursting out of energy like the sun and supplied energy, which streamlined and resulted in a powerful fist strike that was able to easily punch its way through thick concrete walls.As outstanding as it was to watch, Jim couldn’t keep at it for no longer than three minutes. After that, his arms gave up. He felt like he was completely drained out of energy, as if he wouldn’t be able to lift his hand to put a signature for at least a few hours.“Is this the after effect?” Jim asked the old man. “My arms feel quite heavy. I don’t think I can work for a few hours.”“Your body is not used to generating such power, so it’s going to take some time for it to adjust itself,

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

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
