All these skills are Innate and I have no options available to choose my own path... While the chosen options are good, it would be nice to have some flexibility in my future..

How can "Skills like these even exist...."

No wonder F skills are 1 in every 100,000.... 

I looked over to the green haired goddess,

"What are these negative skills even for? Why would you even have these as possibilities…" 

The goddess laughed,

"Why? Because it's amusing. Six of your classmates got these as well. It's quite unfortunate for them, how can they be so unlucky... With a chance of 1 to 100,000 its almost as if someone stacked the deck. But which ones did they get? Hehe I only hope none of the girls got the Orc/Goblin start. If you're a man they just throw you into the woods to fight or eat you. As a woman you're used to begin the goblin invasion of the neighboring kingdom. It happened before in the first summoning."

She looked into the distance as if she was remembering a pleasant memory. 

"Now that was one to remember!" 

Being a woman herself, how could she wish this upon another... All I could remember is the cause of death I saw during the first summoning. 

*Bleh*

The goddess waived her hand the the puke was dispersed in green light. 

She sneered,

"Disgusting creature...tsk..."

I wiped my mouth and looked to her with disgust, not at what I just spewed but at the pile of trash standing there who was a "Goddess". 

Does she not see us as people? Is there no value in our lives? How is someone like this a god.. or is this what it means to be a god? To look down on everything and everyone who isn't like you.. To decide their fate with a wave of your hand and then excitedly watch the pieces fall where they will.. 

Anger and anxiety. No words fit my emotions better.
