-exoticidiot- so sorry if it didn't seem as interesting but if you could stick around till the authors note at the bottom that would be great. Also, what do you mean by shipping fantasy as there will most likely not be any ships for this fic? So if you could explain to me what that means then that would be greatly appreciated as I'm fairly new to fanfiction myself and don't really know much of the terms.
-adonis.urresta- that was what I was gonna write but then I decided on the screen that's in this chapter instead just because it was the one I was most satisfied with.
-Deathenglegamers1144- and I am iron man
-guest- so sorry you confused but the premise of this story is Subarus story with ram and rem while wielding the infinity gauntlet.
-earlynickname- thanks man.
-Steinfeld- thanks, yeah Subaru isn't gonna like Roswaal at all.
-gloriouseuros- thanks I'm glad you found it funny as I'm not sure how to write comedy.
-reinhardt53- honestly I couldn't get it out of my head so here's another chapter. Hope I don't disappoint.
-Gacs- yeah basically Subaru's gonna be a father to rem and ram.
-improsadas- and I am iron man.
-guest- glad you liked it.
-guest- don't worry they won't end up with him.
Subaru got up right before sunrise. 5 years had passed, and Subaru had eventually gotten the trust of both ram and rem.
Even though ram would never admit it they were one happy family.
So Subaru got ready to sell his sparklers. They were very popular. so popular Subaru once sold over a thousand, and because they were so cheap most people were willing to spend large amounts on large quantities.
Right as he stepped into the kitchen he spotted ram.
"Oh good morning."
"Morning barusu."
Nodding Subaru began to eat the food ram had placed in front of him. Smiling he complimented the food.
"Hey, ram the food was amazing."
Subaru handed ram his plate and began walking towards the door.
"I'm going to the village."
"Don't embarrass our household any more than you have."
"Ouch, ram laying on the insults a little thick there. is this the start of your teenage rebellion phase?"
Ram huffed and turned her head.
Subaru shook his head and signaled his leave.
"Well I'm off and you know how to call me if anything happens."
"Yeah yeah I know."
Ram pulled out a cyan-colored gem. The gem was a safety precaution Subaru had made just encase they were in danger or they needed him.
With his last peace said he walked off towards the village. As ram set out to do the laundry, Rem would join her after the sun rose.
The afternoon came and ram could hear someone walking. Turning around ram saw a tall man dressed rather strangely. He walked up to them with purpose. Without him nothing she used the gem to alert Subaru.
Rem stayed behind ram as she approached the man.
"Hello, sir can I help you."
(A/N just imagine Roswaal voice because I'm not gonna do that stupid thing where I stretch out his words when y'all can just use your imagination.)
"Why yes, I'm looking for maids, and you look like you might be interested."
Then she saw Subaru appear behind the man. Turning around, ram walked towards the house, with rem following.
Roswaal was surprised. The tome had told him to save the last remaining oni, only to get lost, as there wasn't an attack, and this strange man wearing strange clothes and a very ornate-looking gauntlet. That the tome didn't mention at all was here.
Roswaal briefly wondered if he had strayed from the tome only to realize this man didn't exist. At least from his teacher's perspective.
Smiling Roswaal restated his offer.
"I came here looking for workers."
"As I see well no thanks."
As the man walked past him Roswaal began to lay on the bribery.
"I'm paying handsomely and you can even stay at my manor. Along with full access to all my facilities."
The man scratched his head and awkwardly replied.
"Look man sorry but we're not interested."
Roswaal smiled.
"Well then thank you for your time. And if you ever find yourself near the Roswaal estate, don't hesitate to ask for me, as I'm more than willing to host you."
Nodding the man walked off and away. All while Roswaal smiled. Maybe he could use this to his advantage.
Later that day Subaru was eating at the dinner table when he made a decision.
"Hey, rem ram let's go on an adventure."
Both girls froze.
"Barusu, what brought this on."
"Well, I've been thinking it's time to go out."
"But why."
Rem questioned.
"Don't get me wrong I'm happy here with you and ram but I just want some adventure."
The girls nodded with his reasoning.
"Well, then we should use this week to prepare for a long journey."
Smiling Subaru jumped up and celebrated.
"Achoo"
A week later Subaru had caught a cold. Now while he laid in bed, ram and rem went to the village to grab the food they would need.
Head spinning, Subaru lamented his situation. He tried to get up only to get a massive headache. Looking around his room he saw a red crystal.
The red crystal would heat up whenever rem or ram activated their crystals.
He stared at it for a minute before he saw it. The small glow and then the heat it gave off alerted him.
Rem and ram were in trouble.
10 minutes earlier
Ram and rem had just finished buying the food they would need. As they were leaving, the forest fell silent. Usually, they would hear birds or animals runny through bushes, but at that moment the forest was completely silent.
Ram looked to the villagers only to see they had noticed the change too. Then she felt rems fear and anger.
"Witch cultists."
While not as angry as rem would have been, she still held resentment towards the cult for destroying their home.
Then men in robs came out, and surrounded the village.
As they began attacking ram and rem made quick work of them with their magic.
Until they heard a voice.
"Honestly I don't know why I have to be here."
Suddenly a man dressed in all white appeared. He looked around and saw how many cultists were dead.
"Great you can't even do the one job you were given."
One of the men from the village charged the white man only for him to get disintegrated as the man quickly dealt with him.
Looking over to the twins he sent dirt towards them. Ram grabbed rem and dodged to the right.
Looking back they could see the man throw more dirt at them. Not able to dodge ram shielded her sister, in hopes she would survive.
BOOM!
Ram and rem looked up to see Subaru shielding them. They smiled, Subaru was strong and the man was gonna lose.
"Cough cough ram rem go to the villagers."
They nodded and ran to the villagers. Subaru looked at the man.
"Hello, who might you be."
The man frowned.
"I am Regulus Corneas. How dare you interrupt me. It's rude and annoying."
He sent more dirt towards Subaru and Subaru created thick walls to stop the attack. Then he sent spikes at regulus who just stood there.
When Subaru saw he was unaffected Subaru began to try to use the stones directly on him. When nothing happened Subaru's eyes widened.
Then Subaru sent spikes, pillars, and even energy at regulus only for him to counter every time. Eventually, regulus began to push his advantage and they switched with regulus attacking and Subaru defending.
Then regulus dashed towards Subaru with him nearly managing to dodge it.
"Oh no!"
"Subaru!"
"Barusu!"
Subaru heard the gasps but couldn't tell what for. Until he looked at Regulus. In his hand, there was what looked to be an arm. An arm that looked suspiciously like his arm. Looking down he could see his arm up to his elbow was gone Completely.
"I'm done playing games."
Regulus threw his arm like it was merely trash, and dashed towards him. Knowing he couldn't risk losing the gauntlet arm, he, in a blind panic used all six infinity stones.
"INFINITY PUNCH!"
Subaru punched regulus, and he stumbled back clutching his nose. When regulus release his nose Subaru saw blood leak down his nose. Everyone's eyes widened for entirely different reasons.
The villagers had heard the stories of regulus and we're amazed that this man managed to make him bleed.
Rem and ram were still shocked from when Regulus ripped Subaru's arm off so quickly.
Regulus felt pain for the first time in a long time. Looking at Subaru he was still too shocked to do anything.
Subaru felt fear, this man had just withstood the full force of all six stones and came out with only a bloody nose. It wasn't even broken.
Letting panic tack over Subaru began punching regulus who was still too shocked to do anything about it. Subaru began punching over and over hitting different spots on regulus's body.
Then after a couple of hits, Subaru delivered an uppercut to regulus's jaw knocking him to the ground.
Subaru then jumped on him and continued to punch him in the face. Raising his hand Subaru was about to slam his fist into regulus's face only for him to disappear.
Leaving Subaru there is a crater, where his hand hit the ground instead of regulus.
Rem and ram ran to Subaru as he began to fall back. Just then the village snapped out of their stupors and two healers rushed up to help rem and ram.
Subaru was in a forest, looking behind him he saw a man with the gauntlet. Subaru's eyes widened in fear. Then the man snapped his fingers and he felt himself began to dust. Looking around he saw rem and ram get turned into dust.
Looking at the figure he couldn't make out its face and as Subaru took his last breath he woke up.
Now seating Subaru looked around the room. Seeing nothing Subaru looked at himself. He tried to move his hands only to see he couldn't move his left hand. As it was no longer there. He only had up to his left elbow.
Still reeling from his nightmare Subaru took off his gauntlet and hid it under his pillow. Then he got up and walked outside.
It was night, rem and ram were most likely asleep. Deciding he needed some fresh air he walked outside.
Noticing a strange fog Subaru didn't go far from the house.
As he just sat there when he heard someone.
"So you're the one that managed to beat regulus."
Spinning around Subaru got a good look at the figure. It was a small woman with pale skin and platinum hair.
Gulping Subaru cursed. Had he not been so scared of his dream he would have brought the gauntlet with him.
"Relax I'm not looking for a fight."
Still keeping quiet Subaru just stared at her.
"Look I just came to talk and it's not like my authority works on you anyway."
Subaru was confused.
"For whatever reason, you don't seem to exist. It's almost as if the universe doesn't recognize you as one of its own."
Still, on edge, Subaru finely talked.
"What do you wanna talk about."
"Not much but I am curious as to what kind of person you are."
Deciding he couldn't really take her on he humored her.
"I'm not much really just a single father taking care of two girls, you?"
"I am pandora it's nice to meet you."
"Oh I'm Subaru Natsuki and you didn't answer my question."
She smirked but didn't comment. Eventually, they began to talk about things that had no consequence what's so ever and both had found it rather enjoyable.
Once the sun began to show pandora left promising to do it again sometime. Subaru had to get home before either of his girls woke up and started a fuss.
As he got home he began working on his first safeguard against losing the gauntlet. His fight with regulus had opened his eyes. He wasn't the biggest nor badest thing out there, now he had a new reason for exploring. He would need to see the strongest and he would need to see just how strong they were.
Ok, so the next chapter solely depends on you guys. So I have three route plants and you guys get to pick the routes.
The first route I'm calling overlord Subaru and it's where Subaru becomes a candidate for the throne.
The second route is where Subaru meets Emilia and stays with her and follows the plot of re:zero with massive and minor changes.
The third rout is where Subaru adventures and helps everyone out with their problems.
Also if you guys have any other ideas let me know and I can see what I can do. So just review and the one I get the most reviews about is the one I chose. You guys have one week from the release of this chapter to decide, and if no one decides then I will pick and you guys might not like what I pick.
So please, leave a review.
