Chapter 2 - The Forceful Fate-II

["Soon Ren"]

I am only regretting one thing: why didn't I notice Prajapat earlier?! He is such a character that no teacher ever asks to solve a question or clean the toilet. No one even knows that he exists in the class. And even now, as everyone notices him for the first time, they're still busy gossiping instead of talking to him. He's not the ugliest person I've ever seen, and he's not handsome either. He is… wait, how does he even look? I actually forgot his appearance. I don't have any memory problems, something is wrong. I think I should talk to that guy.

["Attention Participants, you will now receive your blessings."]

The goddess smiled and waved her hand, and soon a black fog appeared in front of every student.

["Do you want to be a hero?"]

I heard a voice. At first, I thought it was the goddess, but the voice sounded more childish than hers.

"Yes," I replied. The black fog in front of me started shrinking, forming into something the size of an egg. The egg was completely black, without a single white spot.

I looked at the others to compare. The blonde-haired girl, Fujikawa Akari, received white angelic wings behind her back. Is she even human now? Then I looked at Morikawa Amane, who received one black wing and one white wing. Are they even human now?

Anyway… what does this egg mean? Am I supposed to eat it or something?

["You have all received your blessings now. These blessings were given to you by other gods."]

["Now I will announce the true nature of your blessings, and the names of the gods who granted them. You cannot hide it from each other."]

["Akari Fujikawa, you have received the blessing of the God of Emotion. You can use the emotions of others to gain power. Further information will be transferred to your mind."]

["Hikari Shizuki, you have received the blessing of the God of Weapons. You can manifest weapons from thin air. Further information will be transferred to your mind."]

["Jyoji Riyujaki, you have received the blessing of the God of illusion. You can make illusion of anything. Further information will be transferred to your mind"]

I stopped listening. I'm not a good listener anyway, but from what I've heard, isn't the goddess giving us broken powers? Maybe the Demon King is actually too strong…

["Ren Shimizu, you have received the blessing of the Dragon God. You can tame and use the abilities of the dragons you tame. Further information will be transferred to your mind."]

"Goddess, what's with this egg?" I asked, showing it to her.

["Just a gift from the god who blessed you."]

Suddenly, I felt dizzy as a lot of information flooded into my brain. It felt like my head was being crushed. I tried not to show it. Am I that weak? Or did I receive the most information? I don't know. I could see the goddess announcing the final name, but I couldn't hear anything anymore. My brain felt like it was going to explode.

After Some Hours

["Now that you all understand your abilities, I will send information about how this world works."]

Does this air-headed goddess love traumatizing people?! I can't handle another mental breakdown. She has no common sense at all! I mean, she's not a human, so her standards are different, but at least she should understand that we're terrified! It's kind of satisfying to see someone strong break down… especially when that someone bullied you before. I struggled to hold back my laughter while looking at our 6'4 classmate, Jyoji Riyujaki, the heir of a prestigious family business. Since our school doesn't care about status, this is why he ended up in our class. I don't know what blessing he got, but his face is hilarious—once full of arrogance and ego, now scratched up by his own nails. It's not my fault that I'm enjoying this. He bullied me many times—

Ugh. I'm dizzy again. Why does it feel like I'm drunk? A new wave of information hit my brain. This dumb goddess—

Suddenly, all students collapsed unconscious.

["I said earlier, I would send you information about this world. I don't know why humans are even chosen. So egoistic. Superior complex. At least their luck is good since they are inside my space."]

In a blink, a huge black mist appeared, and all the students were sucked into it.

...

"REN!!! WAKE UP!"

I suddenly woke up and saw my cousin Riyu throwing cold water on me. Wait… I'm not even feeling cold.

"Stop throwing water on me, idiot!" I yelled.

"Thankfully, you're alive." She sighed in relief. "Considering the fact that you always read those good-for-nothing isekai novels, I'm lucky you got summoned with me."

I stood up and looked at our surroundings. And I can say one thing… this is one of the worst spawn points ever. Out of all the beautiful continents, we got dumped in a rainforest.

I looked at my cousin. Well, she's like a real sister to me since I grew up with her. My parents were always away, so I was raised by my uncle. The only thing I hate about her is—

"Aah!" I cried as she punched me in the back.

"Why do you hit me?!" I rubbed my back
