Hypothetical scenario: free will

In a hypothetical scenario, there's a God. This God chooses for you your desires. He creates others and chooses their desires. It ends up in a fight between desires. God already knows about this and everything has already happened. Your fate can't be changed.

God offers you the free will to act as you wish, according to the desires that you didn't choose, but it did. You are also free to do what you wish as long as the circumstances allow it. You also are free to do an you wish, but your wishes are influenced by others.

Does free will exist in this case?

Philipp Mainländer

His book is great, however it makes me feel strange every day. I am familiar with Kant's transcendental idealism, as a nihilist my first conclusion was that we can achieve the thing in itself by choosing non-existence. Schopenhauer's will to live also made me rethink if we actually desire anything. I researched a bit and I found this author, Philipp Mainländer. It wasn't a coincidence I found him, I searched for him, so naturally I appreciate his book.

However his book is very strange. It makes me feel very strange. Having my will reduced I feel extremely empty. At times I start feeling extremely hot, it feels as if I am in hell. Non-existence is holy. The trouble of being born.
