This is novel is inspired from the movie Immortals and the Mcu universe. This is a fanfiction please don't sue for copyright. The Book cover isn't mine but the character looks similar to this in my mind and a fusion with Apollo from Blood of Zeus.
I open my eyed only to see a big gate couple meters in front of me . The next thing I know i hear a voice telling ' Mortal go inside the gate for what you will find shall a way out of this realm. I panicked I look behind me and I saw an old man with two horn and legs similar to goats. I read a lot of greek mythology fanfiction novels so I figured that this old man was a Satyr. I respectfully introduced myself ' Sir my name is Carl Rain am I dead.' He laughed and said yes mortal you died but you where given a 2nd chance to win 3 wishes. I was shocked usually others just get their wishes for free.
He laughed again and said ' These other gods are just old farts who are misusing their godly powers cheaply just to fool mortals inside and endless loop of falls hope and power only for the mortals to realize that they are inside an illusion that's slowing devour their souls.'
Mortal do not fear me or this new trial for you don't know it now but you will receive a gift that 99.99% of mortal and some gods would kill for.
I was confused and asked 'Sir who are you and what trial am I supposed to get so I can get my 3 wishes?" He looked at me with a godly like stare and said Mortal my King is offering you a chance because you rescued his child from your mortal plane of origin .
