The Beginning
You grew up in the small village of Chiakor, a remote village with rich traditions, buried deep in the wilds.
Every year for as long as you can remember, your village has chosen a champion to send to the cursed Demon Realm.

Legend has it that in years Chiakor has failed to produce a champion, chaos has reigned over the countryside. Children disappear, crops wilt, and disease spreads like wildfire. This year, you have been selected to be the champion.

Character Creation
What is your name, Champion?
Male or Female?
If your are male, are you lean, average, or thick?
If female, are you slender, average, or curvy?
What is your skin color; light, olive, dark, or ebony?
What color is your hair, and how long?

Stats for the game include:
Strength - Increases your physical strength.
Toughness - Increases your health points and how quickly fatigue increases.
Speed - Increases you chances to evade attacks, certain encounters and to run from a fight.
Intelligence - Increase the chance to withstand certain encounters. Spells are also easier to learn and cast.
Corruption - Shows how corrupt you've become since entering the Demon Realm. If high enough, you won't be known as the nice guy anymore. Nice thoughts and actions will be harder to perform if corruption becomes too high. Anger rises a lot faster when more corrupt.
Fatigue - Determines whether or not skills and spells can be used. Waiting, resting, and sleeping reduce fatigue.
Hit points - Your life. If it reaches 0, your enemy will find a way to corrupt your mind or body in some way, adding to your corruption.

Every person is born with a gift. What's yours?
Strength - Are you stronger than normal? +5 to strength
Toughness - Are you unusually tough? +5 to toughness
Speed - Are you very quick? +5 to speed
Smarts - Are you a quick learner? +5 to intelligence
Endurance - Are you energetic? Recover from fatigue faster

Before you became a champion, you had other plans for your life. What were you doing before?
Alchemy - You spent some time as an alchemist's assistant, and alchemical items always seem to be more reactive in your hands. You are much more successful at making concoctions than the normal person, and can make others much more potent.
Fighting - You spent much of your time fighting other children, and you had plans to find work as a guard when you grew up. You do more damage with physical attacks.
Healing - You often spent your free time with the village healer, learning how to tend to wounds. Healing items and effects are more effective.
Religion - You spent a lot of time at the village temple, and learned how to meditate. Meditating will reduce corruption.
Schooling - You spent much of your time in school, and even begged the richest man in town, Mr. Savin, to let you read some of his books. You are much better at focusing, and spellcasting uses less fatigue.
Slacking - You spent a lot of time slacking, avoiding work, and otherwise making a nuisance of yourself. Your efforts at slacking have made you quite adept at resting, and fatigue faster.
Smithing - You managed to get an apprenticeship with the local blacksmith. Because of your time spent at the blacksmith's side, you've learned how to fit armor for maximum protection. Increases armor effectiveness.

This RPG is based off of a similar one I played on this forum a couple years ago of the same name. I will not link to it because this will be heavily story based, and I don't want to release any spoilers. There won't be any hard math in this game, just me looking at your Character Sheet and deciding how well you should do at whatever you want to do based on your stats.

Locations Found- Plains

You take one last glance at your village before entering the cave. It was very dark, but you could see dim red glow in the distance. Walking towards it, you soon come across a swirling red portal that smelt slightly like rotting eggs. Knowing what you had to do, you stepped through it and appeared in an alien world. It appeared to be a normal plain, covered in long grass, at first glance, but then you realized the whole world was tinged slightly red.
Turning around to fully examine this strange place you found yourself in, you notice the portal disappearing! Panicking, you tried to leap through it, but it was already gone before your feet left the ground. It was probably for the best; if you did make it back, who knew what kind of tragedy the demons would inflict upon your village for not giving a sacrifice.

Deciding to set up camp, you ripped some of the grass out of the ground beside yourself and pushed it together to form a makeshift bed for when you'll eventually to back to sleep. For now though, there's a whole new world, perhaps even universe, for you to discover. What do you do?

I look around for anything that looks hazardous (Cliffs, Demons, Etc). I then try and find a food and water source.

Time: 20:30
Day 1

*Fatigue rose by 5. When fatigue hits 100, you'll fall unconscious. Higher fatigue makes you worse at any task. You can lower fatigue slightly by not doing strenuous activities, or by a lot by sleeping.*

You look around in all directions, but as far as the eye can see is endless grass with an occasional tree doting the landscape. You don't see any wildlife either, but you could swear that patches of grass rustled as soon as you looked away. Deciding you might as well start making your way if you're ever going to get something to drink, you set off in the direction of the setting sun, west.

You've been jogging for about thirty minutes, seemingly making no progress against the endless waves grass, when all a sudden you're in front of a lake. Looking behind yourself, you see the plains are still there, and realize that you must have been pretty tired to not notice a lake right in front of you. Or maybe- Could there be something mysterious going on with the demon realm's landscape!?

Not bothering to consider the implications any more, you approach the lake to get a drink when you realize you aren't thirsty in the slightest. Normally you'd get a drink anyways and just brush it off, but this lake's water looks pretty disgusting. It's significantly more red then anything else in the area, and looking at it gives you an unsettling feeling. What do you do next?

I look for any kind of path.

If I don't, I examine the views around me.

You look around, but you cannot find any sort of path. Examining your environment, you see that there is grass as far as the eye can see, with just the occasional tree dotting the landscape. What do you do?

*Thirty minutes pass, fatigue increased by 5, discovered the hills! I messed up the time in your first CS a little bit too, it should say 20:00.*

You head towards where the portal used to be and don't stop walking. Judging by the position of the sun, you know that you are walking south, and are careful to stay in a straight line so you don't lose your campsite. After about five minutes of walking with no apparent progress, you decide to pick up the pass and begin jogging. After another twenty-five minutes, you suddenly find yourself in a totally different area. You are standing on a hill, and there are hills as far as the eye can see, similar to how the plains seemed endless. Turning around, the plain is still behind you.

Tentatively walking forward, you jump back when a small creature with an axe jumps from behind a hill at you! What do you?
