The Lore

The Rise and Fall of Joseph Martin Li

Joseph Martin Li was born into a life most could only dream of - a wealthy French royal family, surrounded by silk sheets and silver spoons. For the first five years of his life, everything was perfect. Until it wasn't.

During a family yacht trip to the Maldives, tragedy struck. A freak accident - rumored to involve a rogue dolphin and malfunctioning champagne corks - left Joseph the sole survivor. Orphaned, confused, and slightly chubby, young Joseph began a long journey through the foster care system.

Eventually, he was adopted by a kind but financially struggling family from Uruguay. They did their best to raise him right, even saving up to buy him the latest Wordle games and the occasional refurbished iPad. But Joseph had... interests. Dark interests.

His obsession with cheating at Wordle grew out of control. He couldn't stop. He needed the perfect grid. Compounding this was his relentless and tragic desire to wear skinny jeans - despite being, in his own words, "built like a sad beanbag." His family tried to help him. They begged him to wear sweatpants. But he refused.

By age 16, his Wordle addiction, denim delusion, and increasingly erratic behavior (such as insisting "CCET" was a real country during geography class) became too much. His family sent him to boarding school. There, he met Hailonnn, a fellow Wordle lover with good jeans and better hair. But their friendship was doomed. Joseph, paranoid and stingy, refused to share his Wordle cheats or lend Hailonnn any jeans. He gatekept both like national secrets.

When he turned 18, Joseph officially took on the alias JosephWordle230, fully embracing his identity as a Wordle cheat dealer, skinny jean enthusiast, and digital menace.

But life after school was harsh. Now unemployed, balding prematurely, and in deep denial, Joseph began pretending he had a job - while secretly begging for Discord Nitro in sketchy meme servers. He even went so far as to catfish people for Nitro, posing as a "25-year-old anime-coded UI/UX designer in Berlin."

Despite his efforts, people caught on. His scams became memes. His catfish alts were banned. He tried rebranding. Tried wearing bootcut jeans. Tried believing CCET was just a typo. Nothing worked.

Now obese, -10 in the looks department (according to community polls he himself created), and forever wearing jeans that audibly beg for mercy, Joseph lives under the Eiffel Tower - scamming tourists with fake Wordle "hacks," whispering grid strategies to confused backpackers, and yelling "I HAVE A JOB I SWEAR" into public Wi-Fi.

This is not just a tale of internet fraud and failed fashion. It is a warning. A reminder that unchecked Wordle addiction, tight denim, and pretending CCET is a sovereign nation can destroy even the most privileged of us.
