"Man, I wish I had an infinity gauntlet."
Such words were from Subaru, as he had just finished watching infinity war. Walking out of the theater Subaru's eyes began to blur.
Rubbing his eyes Subaru's vision went black, and he felt something encase his hand. Looking down. He saw a metal gauntlet. It was orange with black highlights. However, Subaru only focused on the six stones attached to each knuckle.
Looking around he saw he was now in a forest. Then as he looked up he noticed how clear it was. So clear he could see what looked like a smoke trail.
Something was burning so Subaru ran towards it. After about a minute of running, a grasping Subaru arrived at what seemed to be a burning village.
Walking around he didn't see anyone. There was no one crying for help or people rushing to stop the houses from burning down. As he turned a corner he saw two kids one had pink hair and the other had blue hair.
He called out to them.
"Hey, hey, what's happening."
Subaru began to run towards them. When he saw a man in a black robe pull a knife on the pink-haired one, he panicked. Running faster he outstretched his hand towards them. Seeing the knife was about to cut the pink hair girl's face he made a fist.
And out of sheer desperation, he used what he thought was the space stone. And it worked. Miraculously, it wasn't just a toy after all.
Both girls looked at him seemingly snapped out whatever trance they were in. And Subaru used the space stone to push the man away. Now standing next to the girls he could see their faces. And both were identical twins.
Are they the cute girls who summoned me? Subaru thought.
"There's more of them."
The pink-haired one spoke, her voice just radiated confidence as if she had everything under control despite looking tired.
Looking around Subaru noticed how they were being surrounded. Having a plan Subaru tried to use both the space, power, and reality stones.
Well tried being the keyword, because as soon as he began to use the three stones he felt a massive pain shoot up his arm. in panic, he ended up using all six stones. And as he was overwhelmed with pain, he saw the men approach.
Not taking chances he shot them with the infinity stones. And so the battle began with the men in robes either jumping or running at the three as Subaru blasted them.
Eventually, Subaru managed to stop using all six stones but the damage was done. Smoke was rising from his right arm and he could smell burnt flesh.
Looking around Subaru saw how they were still surrounded. Grabbing the two girls Subaru used the power stone to teleport out of there.
"There your safe now."
"Thank you, mister."
"Your wel- ack"
Subaru clutched his arms the pink one roughly touched it.
"What was that for?"
"Oh no, your hurt!"
Looking towards the pink-haired one he asked.
"Why did you do that. It burns you know."
The pink-haired one just stared at him not saying anything.
"Oh sorry I'm rem and this is my sister ram."
Rem spoke first and out of the two rem seemed more talkative out of the two. Noticing the silence he asked them if they had a place to go.
"No, everyone in the village is dead."
Ram had said it so calmly it kinda unnerved Subaru. Then it registered they presently had no one. Feeling responsible he decided right there and then he was summoned to protect them. It made sense right.
"Ok well, then we need to head to town."
Ram shook her head.
"Demi-humans are not liked by most humans and most towns would never trust us."
Shit.
Subaru thought fast.
"Then how's about I take care of you two then."
Ram narrowed her eyes. Then she pointed towards his right arm.
"How can you expect to take care of us when your arm is like that."
Then as if a switch was flipped he felt the pain of having chared flesh. Grunting in pain Subaru fell to his knees.
"We need to take off the gauntlet."
Then Subaru felt the gauntlet loosened and fall off with ease. Feeling the cool night air hit his arm was a relief. Now he could see his arm and it wasn't pretty. While it didn't feel deep he could tell his skin was burned and pretty badly too. Not to mention when he pulled back his sleeves he could see how the burn traveled up his arm and reached his shoulder, where it stopped thankfully.
After rem used water magic he began to feel relief. Carefully attaching the gauntlet back he began to think. He was sure he could build a house the only problem was the location. He would need to be close to a village for supplies not to mention he would also need money.
"Do you guys know where the nearest town is at?"
They looked around and shrugged. Subaru had teleported them from their village so it was hard to tell.
"Walking it is."
And so Subaru pick a random direction and started walking. Pretending not to notice the stares he was getting from the two sisters.
Eventually, the sun began to rise, and Subaru had a massive epiphany. Making a fist Subaru began to use the reality stone to conjure up a car. Sighing Subaru stared at the car hesitantly, before he started using the space stone and the reality stone at the same time. Wincing in pain he stopped using both and turned around.
"Ta-da!"
Rem and ram stared at it in amazement and shock. As it looked like a carriage only smaller.
Walking up Subaru Subaru smirked.
"Alright get in this will make our trip much faster."
"What is this? Is this some sort of carriage?"
"Ah yes, my dear rem this is an upgraded version."
Ushering them into the car Subaru began to drive through the woods. Using the space stone to make them intangible. After 3 hours Subaru saw a village. Stopping Subaru told them to stay as he went into the village.
While he was walking he noticed something very troubling. He couldn't read. So as he wonders aimlessly he realized he just told two little girls to wait in a hot car for a full day.
Using the space stone he portable back to the car and turned on the A/C for them. Then just in case, they got hungry or thirsty while he was gone Subaru used the reality stone to make snacks and drinks for them.
Then he walled back to the village and asked if he could open a shop.
"Hey, kid you gotta pay if you wanna trade in the town square."
"Oh sorry, here."
Subaru handed the man a chunk of gold. After receiving the gold and thinking Subaru was some sort of rich merchant he pointed to a spot and asked if that was enough room. Nodding Subaru went to the pot and realized he didn't really have much to sell.
Not wanting to just make something high-tech as it would bring more trouble than it's worth he started to think about things that were very simple to either make or wouldn't be too much to show.
Then a memory came to him. Of the time he was at the beach at night running around with sparklers that had different colors. Some green some pink and others blue. Nodding he also remembered that one lesson in science class. Where certain metals when melted with acid would create a powder that would burn a different color when lit.
That's what he went with so he created a stan and set up the sparklers. However, no one seemed interested in them. Seeing a kid staring at him he decided to show off his goods.
"Hey, kid ever seen a green flame."
The kid shook his head. Then Subaru grabbed the green sparkler and lit it on fire. Everyone around was amazed by how brightly the green flame showed.
After that, everyone began to buy the different colors, and Subaru found himself using the reality stone more, and more. Over course it didn't help that Subaru was selling them so cheaply, even the poor could a ford a hundred of these. Tho he didn't know that.
Then by sunset, he had made a massive profit as literally thousands were sold. Portal back to the twins he realized they were talking.
"Hey, sister do you think we should stay with him."
Ram shrugged she wasn't really sure what to think of him. He seemed nice but she had no delusions about the world. However, she had already decided.
" I think we should stay with him for the time being."
Rem nodded before Subaru opened the door.
"Hey sorry if I took too long."
Getting in Subaru drove the car even further away from the village before he stopped.
"Why are we stopping here?"
"Well because this is where our house will be."
Then they saw how suddenly a house appeared out of nowhere. Walking in they say how it was fully and each of them had their own rooms. The house itself was big as it had a kitchen living room dining room 2 bedrooms and one master bedroom then it had a basement that had two weird metal boxes.
They looked in their rooms and found it fully furnished and some clothes that fit them. Ram sent Subaru a look and guided rem towards the bathroom where they could change out of their blood-stained robes.
Meanwhile, Subaru just cheated using the reality stone he made himself fresh again. This gave him time to think about today's events or the past two days.
He is living the fantasy life most otaku would dream about. But Subaru also had a rude awakening, this world wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. rem and rams village was a massive reminder that this isn't a game, and Subaru could still feel the pain of using too many stones cause, for now, his limit was one.
Nodding Subaru began to make dinner. Subaru didn't have an appetite despite the long day it's been. So he settled on just making sandwiches. When ram and rem came out of the bathroom they joined Subaru at the table.
The next day while rem and ram stayed at the house Subaru went back to the village to buy food and sell more sparklers. that was the daily routine for the next year.
Until he came.
And ok sorry for the ending. Ummm all I can say is ill try to get the next chapter out soon. Leave a review.
Please let me know if I made any mistakes because I literally wrote this all at midnight and just wanted to get this idea out of my head.
