My name is Jake and I am your average guy, nothing special, just a man who goes to work from 9-5. My life is really monotonous, sometimes I wish something interesting would happen.
James-"hey Jake it's 5:10 pm work time is over, unless you want to work overtime."
That's my work buddy James. I have known him for 3 years and he is a pretty chill guy, cool to hang around with, but he is a real nerd when it comes to dungeons and dragons. I have tried that game before and while I enjoyed it, I still apparently don't understand the 'greatness' of the game that James calls it.
Jake-"Yeah, yeah I am coming, just had to send in the last paper to the manager."
James- "Ok then hurry the hell up I have a dungeon and dragons game to play with my buddies, so come on."
After I sent the last paper I turned off the computer and started walking to the staircase with James in front of me. It only took a few minutes to walk down 10 or so flights of stairs and reach the lobby. Before we left we said bye to the receptionist.
James-"So what's got you all down in the dumps?"
Jake-"You could tell?"
James-"Really dude how long have we known each other, 3 years and we sit just across from each other in the office."
Jake-"It's nothing."
James-"C'mon man just tell me it already, you got me curious now."
Jake-". . . Haaa fine it's just that my life has been boring ever since I couldn't make it into higher leagues of kick-boxing, I mean I know I am not super talented but I just loved kickboxing and realizing all the hard work I did was for nothing for years is really demoralizing."
James-''Well I can't really sympathize with you considering I have never worked as hard as you for just my dream, but something my grandmother used to say is 'People who work hard will be rewarded one way or another.' I don't know if I believe her but she believed it so I guess that's all that matters."
Jake-"Yeah ok whatever you say bud."
While James and I were walking down the bustling road we came to a corner and stopped as the light was red. After about a minute the light turned green and we walked across the road to the other side. Once we were on the other side of the road we heard some loud sounds of metal crashing against each other and some car honks. Everyone, including us, turned around and found a semi-truck heading straight for us.
After a split second everyone realized what was happening and started shouting and screaming while running and pushing people out of the way. I started running to the left of the road when I realized James wasn't with me, I turned around and saw James on the ground.
'He must have slipped or been pushed down'- I thought
So I tried to run back, squeezing through the crowd, and finally got to him, but by the time I got to him the truck was only about 12 meters away, and going at that speed I wouldn't have enough time to pull James away with me.
'Fuck it I ran back here to save this stupid man from dying and I am not about to let my efforts go to waste'-I thought
So I used all the strength I could muster and threw him with everything I had. I am grateful that James is on the small side while I am quite big. When I looked back at the truck it was only about 1.5 meters away from my position. Now I know it may seem like it has been a while but it has only been about 8 seconds since I first heard the cars honking.
James-"NOOOOOOO!!!!! JAKE!!
That was the last thing I heard before I was assaulted by immense pain throughout my whole body for barely a split second before everything went black.

…
Soul-"Damn that truck hurt like a bitch, lucky I barely even felt it, so anyway where am I? Am I not supposed to be dead?"
Soul-"Looking around or something like that I see nothing but darkness, so I am going to assume I am dead. Now that we got that out the way I hope my father is going to be ok, he may not have been the best father but he was always there when I needed him most. Haaa."
Soul-"Now that I think about it my life was kinda bland, I had a normal life and nothing really got me happy or excited except spending time with my father, watching anime, or kickboxing."
Soul-"Thinking about it the reason I got into kickboxing was because of anime, specifically the Dragonball series. I just love watching them fight and power up, training to get stronger, and just watching the characters grow mentally and emotionally. That's why Vegeta has got to be my favorite character, he was first introduced as a crazy killer and slowly became a fighter, husband, and a father that you could count on towards the end of the show, and no matter what he always kept his pride with him."
Don't know how long it has been since I died, time seems to be extremely chaotic here. Don't know how I know, I just know, confusing but it is what it is. While having an inner monologue with myself I start seeing some light in the distance and as time passes it keeps getting closer and closer until a dense bright white sphere shows up in front of me.
I am curious what this is as this is the first thing in here other than darkness.
[Hello soul I am the overseer of all reality in existence, could you tell me how you made it in my domain?]
Soul-"WHAT!? Who said that, where are you?"
[I am in front of you, soul. Now can you tell me how you made it into my domain?]
Soul-"Wait your the giant white sphere"
[Yes]
Soul-"Ohhhhh. So about your question I don't know all I remember is dying, anime, my father, and kickboxing."
[. . . That is interesting for a soul to have managed to not only stay self-conscious after death but to even absorb some of my excess energy in only a couple hundred million years.]
Soul-"Is it that amazing to be able to– WHAT!!? A COUPLE HUNDRED MILLION YEARS!? Did I hear that correctly or am I going crazy?"
[Yes you heard correctly.]
Soul-"so that means my father Is dead?"
[Yes. But because of you absorbing some of my energy it has acted according to your subconscious and has helped your father become a powerful person in a world of absorbing energy from the so-called 'Heavens' and using it to strengthen yourself.]
Soul-"So my father is ok and alive, that's good. Then could you send me to him then?"
[I could, but your father was only baptized by my energy a couple of years after he had gone through the reincarnation cycle so he has lost all memory of his past life.]
Soul-"That means he has forgotten about me, huh, that sucks. . . . . So what do I do now?"
[ You can stay with me for eternity and help me oversee all of reality.]
Soul-"Is there another option?"
[Or you could reincarnate in another world of your choice.]
Soul-"when you say world of my choice do you mean any world, even worlds of fiction?"
[I am the overseer of all reality. Any story you could think of has already been given birth in the form of a universe, and if you so wish I could create a universe from scratch, such a thing is as easy as it gets here.]
Soul-"Then I would like to reincarnate into the dragon ball universe please!"
[Then that shall be done but before that, I must take my energy back from you as the energy you have could destroy that universe the moment your soul goes there. But as you have worked hard to acquire that energy I shall convert the energy into perks or wishes for you.]
Soul-"Did I just hear that right? I will get to have wishes too?"
[Yes]
Soul-"So how many wishes do I have?"
[There is no numerical amount of wishes as some wishes will take more energy to fulfill and some might take barely any energy at all.]
Soul-"So if I wished to be born as a Saiyan how much energy would that use?"
[You will still have 95% energy left]
Soul-"Ok that is better than I thought. Then I would like to be born as an ancient legendary Saiyan."
[You have 35% left]
Soul-"WHAT!? Why did it take so much energy?"
[Being an ancient Saiyan would only cost 15% in total, same for the legendary Saiyan, but combining those two traits into one body took far more energy than just 30%.]
Soul-"I guess that makes sense just having either one of those traits would make me powerful so having both would be like breaking the balance of the world."
Soul-"So what should I wish for next? Ahh I know having the legendary Saiyan would already be a hard enough task to not go berserk but to have the ancient Saiyan on top of that would make it impossible. So I would like to have an inherently strong mind."
[That is a good wish because while your soul may be capable of suppressing the emotion that is anger from being bathed in my energy for so long your brain has not so you would have been so overwhelmed by anger at birth that your brain would have stopped working. 20% energy remaining.]
Soul-"I am really lucky that I just remember about the Broly movie or I would have died just after being born and that would be pathetic."
Soul-"I think this one is a necessity, I would like to be an anomaly so that no being will be capable of seeing my past or future and I am hidden from beings from the future. I don't want to be killed by some future enemy when I am still a weak child."
[That shall leave you with 5% energy left.]
Soul-"I would like to be born 5 years before Frieza destroys planet Vegeta but I would like to have been born on a planet that has a far harsher atmosphere and gravity than planet Vegeta. I wish to get strong before I have my fun and adventure around the universe."
[That will leave you with 2% energy left.]
Soul-"hmm. . I thought that would have used up all my energy. And there is nothing that I want or I Think I need. Ahhh I know I would like to have a fated lover somewhere in the universe, and one day our paths shall cross with each other."
[That is all of the energy I wish you a good life little soul.]
Soul-"thanks for everything overseer, hope I don't see you again for a long time."
Next thing I knew I felt like I was being sucked into something and I blacked out. When I came too I felt like I was in a small area that was not only warm and comfortable but it also gave me a strong sense of safety and love.

Allow me to explain Sage's wish to have a stronger mind in better detail.
Ancient Saiyans are born as mindless Ozaroo and while Sage wasn't born as an Ozaroo the same concept still applies to him, then also adding being a legendary Saiyan would enhance the anger Sage would constantly feel even more, to the point where the immense amount of anger his brain was feeling would completely fry his brain, pretty much killing him.
Now the wish for giving him a stronger mind was to allow him to be able to be born with a mind strong enough to resist those emotions that he would constantly be feeling, but his mind isn't strong enough that it would be able to block the extra anger he feels when he transforms into an Ozaroo, or an LSSj for that matter.
