Synopsis
Kuroha Kuroyami, commonly called Kuro, a young man who had always lived a life of misfortune, would be summoned by the Goddess Shumato, along with three other people to serve as heroes for the world in a fight against the demons. While the other three would be gifted with exception, Kuro is seen as useless by the goddess, deemed an E-Rank. In disgust, she would cast him into the Labyrinth, a prison for outcasts, believing he would die there, but fate had other plans for him. Whether by fortune or misfortune, he would do whatever it takes to get out of that place and get revenge on the goddess for trying to kill him.

(Sounds generic, I know, but that's the point, sort of)

What are we thinking, what are we thinking?

Nice, or no?

If I'm not mistaked, a synopsis is a brief summary of the major points of your story (from the beginning to the end). What you have here is closer to a blurb, I think.

In any case... this is "okay" I would say, and as generic as you stated. Not bad, not great either. It needs something to push us to read your story. Can you add something like he will discover a secret, a power, a new side of him he never guessed, or understand the true meaning of life, friendship, love or freedom, I don't know, it's your plot.

Sentence are a bit too long, I'm sure you can shorten the first sentence for example or make it in two sentences.

The E-rank lands like hair on a soup. You say nothing at the beginning about a game world. I would say it earlier, or just remove the E-rank part.

For a story told from the 1st person POV, thus focused on Kuro (aaaah my cat has the same name!), it's too much about the others (the other three, the Goddess) and too little about HIM. I'll explain : You wrote "In disgust, she would cast him into the Labyrinth, a prison for outcasts, believing he would die there, but fate had other plans for him." it's too far from his POV. I would do "He was sent into the Labyrinth, a prison for outcasts, to rot and die. Fate had other plans for him." something like that

It's a personal point of view, I'm not excepting others will think the same ^.^; you have a good base, just work on it again, and think of a bulrb that will make you buy the book at the librairy even if it cost $30 XD
