Y/N a young man is summoned to a new world along with 4 others each with a unique weapon. Y/N's being a magic staff the others a sword, a spear, bow and a shield of all things.
It had been two days since I got the time stone and now I can't find the last one so I decided to just go meet Naofumi in Shieldfreeden. Along the way we needed supplies so we stopped at a town I used my reality magic to create an illusion that Nitra and I were a husband and wife while Luna was our daughter. I gave the girls a list of what we needed while I went into an artifact shop to see if there was something that could help me find the last stone. In the shop I met a strange woman "welcome dear hero" she said "what are you talking about I'm not a hero" I said trying to lie "you don't need to do that you are safe here" the old lady said I sighed in relief and took down my illusion "I'm sorry for that" I apologized "no need dear, I heard about what the king has done to you and the shield hero" the old lady said "yeah it sucks" I said rubbing the back of my head "now dear what can I help you with?" the old lady asked "I need help finding a stone" I answered "let me see your staff dear" the old lady said I gave it to her then she put her hand over the top and casted a spell "you have five stones of infinity space, mind, power, and time the last one you need is soul" the old lady said handing my staff back to me "so do you know where it is?" I asked the old lady's demeanor turned sad "sadly I do but before I tell you where it is I must ask you do you have someone you love" the old lady said. The question brought me back a bit "Luna and Nitra" I whispered "ah two I see" the old lady said "yeah they are party members Luna was a slave when I saved her, Nitra she joined us when I saved her kingdom and her herself" I said "they must be special to you" the old lady said "yeah I guess, they've been there for me" I said "have they told you their feelings yet?" the old lady asked "yes they did two days ago, their feelings were genuine and I didn't want to except them" I answered the old lady laughed "let me guess you didn't want to hurt them because you would have to return home to your world" the old lady said "wait how did you know that?" I asked "you are not the first staff hero same with the other heros their not the first either" the old lady answered "I knew a staff hero in your situation they fell in love but they had to return home" the old lady said. I was surprised by what she was telling me "I can see that you do have people you love but this can be a good thing and a bad thing when it comes to the last stone I hope you make the right choice" the old lady said handing me a scroll I opened it to find ancient writing and a symbol "find the ancient oak and carve the symbol into the ground" was what it read. I thanked the old lady and began to leave her shop I recasted the illusion and as I opened the door I looked back and asked the old lady "what was his name?, the staff hero you knew" I asked "her name was Elizabeth and she was my mother" the old lady answered that surprised me I thanked her again and left I contacted the girls and told them to meet up with me back at the town square so we could get going to find the last stone then go meet Naofumi in Shieldfreeden.

The girls and I followed the path to this ancient oak tree along the way we asked locals if they knew where it was and they all pointed in the same direction apparently it was a sacred location and that there was a legend about a man who wanted to save everyone but he had to make a sacrifice to do it. I wanted to tell the girls about what happened with me and the old lady but decided against it I needed to know what the ultimate sacrifice was. We eventually came upon a giant oak tree that looked like it was touching the heavens I told the girls to stay back I pulled out the scroll and opened it up I looked at the symbol on it and then carved it into the ground when it was over there was a giant symbol on the ground.
