In a world where divine forces collide, 15-year-old Jack's life is forever shattered by the loss of his younger sister, Joe. Devastated by her passing, Jack's faith in the Christian God he was raised with begins to crumble. But nothing could have prepared him for the shocking truth that awaits him. As he struggles to come to terms with his grief, Jack discovers that his sister's soul has been captured by Hecate, a powerful pagan goddess. With this revelation, Jack's world is turned upside down, and he finds himself thrust into a hidden war between ancient gods and Christian angels.
As Jack navigates this treacherous world, he must confront the ruthless enforcers of faith and brave the wrath of angels who seek to claim dominion over humanity's souls. With his newfound power of sight, Jack can see the spiritual residue of the divine forces that shape the world. He embarks on a perilous journey to unite the forgotten deities and reclaim his sister's soul from the clutches of Hecate.
But as Jack delves deeper into the world of ancient gods and divine powers, he realizes that the stakes are far greater than he ever imagined. The war between the gods is not just about souls, but about the very fabric of reality. With the fate of humanity hanging in the balance, Jack must make a choice: to succumb to the darkness of despair or to rise up and challenge the powers that seek to control him.
"The Mortal's Gambit" is a gripping tale of shattered faith, ancient powers, and the unbreakable bonds of love. Join Jack on his epic journey as he navigates the complex web of divine forces and confronts the ultimate question: what happens when the gods are not what they seem?

The story takes place after the giant's war and the war against Voldemort. This is my first fanfiction (actually my first story on Wattpadd) so please don't write too many mean comments, I'm a newbie. Disclaimer: The characters all belong to J.K. Rowling and Rick Riordan, I don't own them. The only thing that is mine is the plot. Plus, I don't think I going to add OCs. (Pretty sure that's how we call characters invented by the author or something) This counts for the whole book because I don't want to add a disclaimer at every chapters. So yeah, that's all. :) ⚠⚠ Just for info, I update randomly so sometimes I can write like three chapters in a night or something and sometimes I just forget even though that would not happen very often ⚠⚠Complete
The Troubled Soul (Volume 3: Final Volume)
Once upon a time, there was a young boy who experienced constant pain. The only person who truly stayed by his side was Kallie, his sister. She was his everything. His life, his family, his best friend...his world. Then humanity had to take her away and wreck his perfect, peaceful life. As if it was not enough humans were the source of all his pain and suffering he experienced throughout his life, and the reason for all his scars and symbols, they took away the only person he cared about. Well, enough was enough. He tried leaving humanity alone. He tried living a peaceful life away from all the fighting. It was all he wanted; to live a peaceful life with his sister, but humanity would not allow him that. So, if battling was the only thing humans throughout history understood, then he would bring them a war. So now, he has a new goal. Peace treaties are made between humans but they never last. War, however, forces the loser to obey no matter what for however long the winner decides. If humanity-the entire world-only submitted to the strongest then he would dominate them all. Only he would be the strongest, allowing no other person to even come close to his power. He would burn the world down to its very foundation, eradicating everyone who stands in his way, and rebuild it anew. The new world would be transformed into what he could never have.

However, there is only one person who even has a chance at winning...and she only cares about her little sunshine.Complete

Then, a strange man with goat legs shows up, telling Y/n he's a demigod and must leave for Camp Half-Blood.
