Josiah entered the world as a bright, charismatic child who grappled with ADHD, a condition that posed significant challenges during his middle school years. Socially awkward and emotionally volatile, he found himself isolated and struggling academically, often making impulsive decisions that led him further down a tumultuous path. The tragic loss of his father in the spring of his 8th-grade year marked a turning point for Josiah. Fueled by grief and a desire for change, he embarked on a transformative summer before high school, committing himself to rigorous self-improvement.
Josiah dedicated himself to the gym six days a week, honed his athletic skills through five days of practice, immersed himself in academics four days a week, and finally, sought inner peace by meditating and praying daily. As a freshman, he found himself in an academic mixture, tackling Math 2, English 2, Spanish 2, Engineering 1 Honors, and AP World History. It was in this history class that he met Skylar, his captivating crush who would quickly become a central figure in his life.
He joined the basketball team, primarily finding himself on the bench, but when given the opportunity, he showcased his talent as a shooting guard. The same narrative unfolded on the baseball diamond as he played second base, gradually working his way up the ranks. In September of his sophomore year, he began dating Skylar, a stunning junior with a beautiful smile. Their first homecoming together was a blur of laughter and joyous moments, setting the stage for the summer that followed.
During this period of growth, his mother found love again, dating a charming aerospace engineer named Mark. Josiah was also surprised on his 16th birthday with a sleek sports car that made him feel unstoppable and adventurous. Christmas that year transformed his life further when his mother married Mark, introducing him to his new family—two energetic step-sisters, Mary (13) and Layla (18)—and gifting him an all-in-one gadget that included innovative smart glasses and a phone capable of anything he dreamed.
As he found his footing, Josiah earned a starting position as both the shooting guard for basketball and the second baseman in baseball, gaining recognition for his performance on a national level. For Skylar's 17th birthday, he rented a luxurious hotel suite and secured front-row tickets to her favorite artist's concert, culminating in a tender moment of intimacy that signified a new chapter in their relationship as Josiah experienced those milestones as a virgin.
As a junior, the couple was awarded scholarships to MIT, with Josiah's being tied to his athletic prowess, while Skylar contemplated taking a gap year. His 17th birthday was a milestone as he moved into a modest apartment in Boston and took an exciting campus tour with Skylar, filled with dreams of their future. For her 18th birthday, he surprised her with a brand-new car, and they celebrated their relationship with deep connection.
In his senior year, Josiah, now a celebrated athlete and the star player on both the basketball and baseball teams, balanced schoolwork and a new job at Blazing Enterprises. However, tragedy struck during a Halloween party when a gang initiated a drive-by shooting, throwing a grenade that caused chaos and destruction. In an act of unparalleled bravery, Josiah managed to save everyone present, including Skylar, yet he tragically succumbed to his injuries in the hospital, surrounded by the love of his friends and family. His funeral was held on what should have been his 18th birthday, a bittersweet memorial of a life that had touched many.
In a miraculous twist, Josiah awakened in the presence of G.O.D., an omnipotent deity who assured him that all those he left behind would lead fulfilling lives. G.O.D. granted him a powerful choice: to reincarnate in a world woven from the very fabric of his imagination. Embracing the opportunity, Josiah chose a vibrant universe that blended elements of Dragon Ball, DC, and Marvel with other beloved fictional realms. Alongside the promise of adventure, he was granted 17 wishes, which included a body like Broly's—one that would grow and evolve like a human, the finest fictional races combined into his essence, an unlimited leveling all-purpose system to amplify his abilities, and, most importantly, an exact replica of Skylar—among many more extraordinary desires.
