CHAMPION.

Marcus Dorsey dies at 31 in a dingy Newark boxing ring—a pathetic 3 wins-22 losses record serving as the epitaph for a career destroyed by arrogance, poor choices, and wasted talent. But death isn't the end. Marcus awakens in his seventeen year old body with all his memories intact and a cold, clinical AI system called the Athlete Rehabilitation Protocol (ARP) monitoring his every move. The ARP system treats Marcus's previous boxing career as a "catastrophic failure" requiring complete rehabilitation. It provides biometric feedback, enforces discipline through painful neural consequences, and gradually teaches him what he refused to learn the first time, that talent without proper development is just another word for failure. As Marcus rebuilds his boxing career from the ground up, he must navigate family expectations, financial struggles, amateur competition, and the complex relationships that shape a fighter's journey. The ARP system gradually becomes less intrusive as Marcus develops genuine skills and character, but the real challenge isn't technological—it's learning to overcome the fundamental flaws that destroyed his previous life. From amateur tournaments to professional debut, from regional recognition to championship aspirations, Marcus must prove that redemption is possible through dedication, proper coaching, and the humility to accept that success is earned one disciplined day at a time.
