STORYLINE-
There has been a recent overpopulation of monsters among your fair land. Most of these monsters are quite fierce and deadly. The monsters have been attacking villages all across the land. You are a lone warrior seeking to help defend your people from the dangerous overpopulation.
GOAL-
You must upgrade your character to find the king of monsters, defeat him, and vanquish all his underlings along the way.
THE DETAILS-
You will need to travel around to different areas and upgrade your character as you prefer. Instead of choosing a class to begin with, you may upgrade your character to resemble a class you prefer. After you defeat a monster, you will gain some materials from it. You may use the materials to craft weapons and items or you may sell them for coins. The weapons you can wield and make, depends on your stats. (P.S. you may not always get materials from monsters.)
THE MAP-
There are many different places to explore throughout this RPG. The maps will be quite simple, since this is a RPG, not an adventure game. I'll summarize the map. Each player will start in the village of 'Rhoedia'. This village has (P.S. this is important if you want to go places): A general store (containing health poitions and various items for sale) A weapons store (from which weapons are bought and sold) The inn (used to restore health at a price) The bank (used to store money, weapons and items) And Several houses belonging to the locals.
The buildings are accessible from anywhere in the village. From Rhoedia, you can follow 'The Forest Trail.' You may venture off of or on to the trail at any time. When you go off the trail and into the wilderness for a while, is when you go to fight monsters. The deeper into the forest you go, the higher difficulty the monsters will be. But the harder monsters will give you more experience points and better materials. Once you get back to the trail, you may follow it to a big gate. This is all the map information I'll give you for now, the rest is for you to explore!
MONSTERS-
Monsters will vary in all sorts of shapes, sizes, stats, abilities, and locations. I'll inform you when you encounter a monster, what it is and what its stats are, before you try to fight it.
LEVELING UP
First off, you'll need 20 exp to level up, to level up again, you need to add %50 of what you needed before. Example: 20 exp will be needed to level up first, %50 of 20 is 10 so add those two together and you'll need to reach a total of 30 exp to level up again, %50 of 30 is 15 so add the two together and you'll need to reach a total of 45 exp, (When it's uneven, I'll round up for you) then a total of 68 exp is needed to level up again, then a total of 102 exp, then 153 exp, and so on. If you don't understand, it's okay, I will handle the exp addition anyway. After every level up, you will be able to upgrade your character with 4 extra points.

TIPS-
1. Just because you can go into an area doesn't mean it's safe. Monsters more powerful than you may be lurking around. 2. If you lose a battle you will immediately respawn at Rhoedia with half vitality. 3. You may "Ask a local" whenever you are in the village if you need some advice. 4. When you beat a monster, I will tell you what raw resources you gain, and put them in your inventory. At any time, you may "Attempt to craft an item from..." whichever items from your inventory, and with luck, you'll make a weapon, shield, or armor. 5.I recommend you balance out your character, rather than spend all your upgrade points on something like, agility. 6. You do have two hands, but two hands only. This means you can either hold one huge weapon, a weapon and a shield, or two light weapons.
Words from the creator (me)
I will try to be as active as I can, in order to keep up with everyone. I will only be able to handle 15-20 players. You may join at any time. Except for your vitality, experience points, and level, you will be in control of changing your own stats (But still monitored by me to prevent you from CHEATING), I will add things to your inventory as you collect them. As far as player-to-player interaction, it is encouraged. You may swap weapons, gold, and strategies as long as both players agree. Trades will also be overseen by me, so I can be aware of any inventory changes, and prevent mishaps. You may also battle the monsters in co-op, but the experience from the monster will be divided between the battlers. (P.S. This is going to be somewhat of a basic RPG, and you will not be able to use any magic attacks. Sorry if I disappoint you. I may make a more advanced RPG sequel to this one, if this one is successful. Then I'll include magic powers.)
You meet a small troll. But this troll has a sword, and knows how to use it. It charges at you.

"Ahoy, down there! ... Ah yes, behind this gate lies the country's seaside. More ferocious monsters lurk behind these walls. This gate was made to seal off as many creatures as possible. But you fella, look quite potent to defend yourself. Very well, you may pass." You then follow a long winding path through a valley, that eventually comes to a cave. You come to a fork in the cave. The left path is slightly dimmer and warmer. The left is a bit brighter and cooler.

(oops. i put both of them as left. me is a dumb. me need to make brain turn on.)
To your relief, you exit the cave safely and visit the village of Jeynon. It has the same buildings as Rhoedia: a general store, a weapon store, a bank and an inn. To the left of where you came out of the cave is the beach, and the ocean as far as the eye can see. To your right is the village. If you walk further down along the beach, you may run into monsters.

You walk in to see the owner who says "Howdy stranger. I ne'er seen your face here before. Lemme tell you what I got here for sale. I'll tell ya some secondary weapons I got: a slingshot and sharp rocks as ammo (25 coins), a basic knife (25 coins), a bundle of throwing knives (50 coins), a tomahawk (50 coins) a bow and arrow (110 coins), and a mace (110 coins). As for primary weapons, you got yourself a fiiine one already. But, you leave those fancy cyclops bones, that simple sword, and the weapon you got already, then I should be able to combine them into a weapon of unmatchable power (25 coins). I can also add that plating to your armor (10 coins).
(And you will be able to pick up your throwing knives again after you use them. So they are reusable.)
The tree tactic works, but the troll is shorter than you, so you can't go between its legs. But you manage to get some decent slashes in while it's tired, then it begins to put up more of a fight.
I try to force his sword out of his hand and the kill him. If that doesn't work I try to wait for his attack side step and chop off its head. If that doesn't work a unleash a fury of offenseive blows.
