A certain Viking, a certain Japanese high school student, a fictional character, and a Slime. What do these people and creatures have in common??
To answer that, we would have to go back to one hour ago.
◇
Stargia kingdom capital, Gryffeth.
Year 1142 of the Rebirth Era(RE).
"Dad, where're we going??"
"We're going to go to the Central Church, Harry."(Dad)
"Am I getting my blessing?"(Harry)
"Yes honey, you're getting your blessing."(Mom)
Harry's eyes glittered, he was very excited. In this world, children around the age of 8 to 12 can get themselves blessed by the goddess.
A blessing from the goddess would unlock the potential of the children in this world. The unlocked potential vary accordingly, small to big. Unlocking the potential doesn't instantly make the person able to use it. As the name suggests, it only unlocks.
A person must learn how to use their potential. An example to this would be babies learning how to walk.

Harry's POV
I'm so excited, this will be my day to shine. Almost all of my friends at the academy have their own blessings.
I want my blessing to be something powerful like magic manipulation. Mom and Dad have it, so I want it to be mine as well. I want to manipulate magic like them too.
I'm already 9 and a noble, so I'm late bloomer. Most of my noble friends at the academy, have had their blessings last year.

"Honey, say hi to the priestess, she will be the one performing the ritual."(Mom)
"Ritual?"(Harry)
"Yes, a ritual. The priestess would perform the ritual, and once you have entered a deep sleep. The goddess would give you her blessing."(Dad)
"I-I'm scared."(Harry)
"Don't worry, it would only feel as if you were sleeping and had dream."(Dad)
"O-okay."(Harry)
◇
"Lay down here please, after that, just close your eyes."(Priestess)
"Okay."(Harry)
Mom! Dad! Why are you just watching from far away. I'm scared.
I think I'm sweating a bit. Mom and Dad are just smiling at me.
"Okay, I'm going to close my eyes now."(Harry)
"You're sweating a bit, don't worry, it will not hurt."(Priestess)
I don't believe that.
"Raaa Etaaa, Miii Niii, Saaa Karaaa."(Priestess)
Huh, I feel sleepy. Just like what Dad told me.
"Siii Karaaa, Tuuu Lamakaaa, Reee aaa etaaa."(Priestess)
◇
Huh? Is this where I get my blessing? This dream feels so real.
There's grass everywhere and some trees.
"Hello!"
"WAAAAH!"(Harry)
"You scared me! Don't just suddenly appear behind me and say hello."(Harry)
"Hehe, sorry. By the way I'm an angel sent by the goddess."
"My name is Rita, and you are Harrion Kether Raizen, right?"(Rita)
"Yes, but why isn't the goddess here? I thought she was the one giving the blessing?"(Harry)
"She did, but since there were many churches performing the ritual, it made her super busy and it slowed her other duties. So, she gave us angels the job to do it for her."(Rita)
"We angels are mostly doing jobs given by the goddess."(Rita)
"And the angels enjoy those jobs?"(Harry)
"Of course, before, we had too much free time and we were bored. Now, we have something to do."(Rita)
"It seems like we're wasting time conversating, let me now give you the blessing."(Rita)
◇
3rd person POV
Warm light shined from Harry's body. It seems like the blessing has entered his body.
"Thanks Rita."(Harry)
"No problem, it's only our job. So do you feel anything new-Huh?"(Rita)
"What? Anything new? My body feels warm, that's it."(Harry)
"Forget about that, who're you?! How did you enter this realm??"(Rita)
"Who? Me?"(??)
"No, she probably meant me."(????)
"The lady seems to be talking to me, not you."(?¿?¿)
"Humans?"(¿¿¿)
