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 find 10 coins in the vases, but no key. That's when you look up on the chandelier to see it key. It looks like it's on the edge so a slight nudge, somehow, might make it fall.

As you are following a trail of giant footprints, you run into a giant beetle. It has thick plating and poisonous jaws. It is quite mobile and dangerous.
You emerge in a dim, gray room. There is nothing in it except for two, bared windows and the door in front of you. This door has three triangles similar to the ones you saw first. But on the three points of the first triangle are the numbers: 6, 4, 10 and in the middle is the number 24. The second triangle's points has the numbers: 8, 6, 1 and in the middle is 19. The points on the third triangle has the numbers: 6, 7, 4. Find the middle number of the third triangle.
