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.

*Gained 1 fatigue.*
The creature raises its tiny axe above its head and runs at you, screaming. You jump to the side, and the creature trips on a rock. You kick it. The creature skids away from you and accidently drops its axe, then gets up limping and raises its hands in the air in the universal sign of surrender. What do you do?

Time: 20:35

You examine the water as closely as you can without actually drinking it. As far as you can tell, it’s completely normal, albeit red, water, but the longer you look at it the more unsettled you get. You decide to stick your hand in, and it feels like normal water, but doing so made you slightly nauseated.

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, thirty-five minutes pass, discovered lake!*

You decide to head in the direction of the setting sun, west. At first you walk, but then you decide to pick up the pace and begin to jog.
You've been jogging for about thirty-five 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?

Day 1

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?

*Five minutes pass.*
You have a cloth shirt, a pair of cloth pants with two pockets, and leather shoes. It isn’t much, but then, your village doesn’t want to give you much of its limited supplies if odds are you’re just going to die anyways.

You look around in all directions, but as far as the eye can see is endless grass with an occasional tree dotting 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.

Feeling confused, I sit down and relax on the lakes shore. I let the water caress my feet while I think about what to do next. I sit for some time, losing myself to my thoughts, and eventually drift into sleep.

You walk towards it, picking up its axe and putting it in your pocket on the way. You decide to try to communicate with it, who knows what valuable information it could share with you about the demon realm?

You say, “Hello, I am Glitch, what is your name?”

In reply, he says, “!@#$%, you filthy !@#$% human! I don’t your !@#$% !@#$%, ya !@#$5 piece of !@#$%. Shoo!”

It’s starting to get late, so you decide to head back to your campsite before it gets dark, knowing that back home that’s when wolves come out, so who knows what may come out in this cursed place? Almost as soon as you started walking back however, you were already in the middle of your campsite! Clearly, even the very land in this realm is controlled by demonic energies! What do you do?

You've been walking for about an hour, seemingly making no progress against the endless waves grass, when all a sudden you're in front of a lake, exactly what you were hoping for. 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!?

It's significantly more red then anything else in the area, and looking at it gives you an unsettling feeling. Is this even really water? What do you do next?

Day 1

You stick your feet into the water, but pull them back almost immediately because you got a sudden urge to vomit. Carefully sticking them back in, the urge came back the instant your skin touched the water, getting stronger the further you submerge your feet. You decide to just rest by a small hill just outside of the tide’s reach.

You’re woken up by a jabbing feeling, you think someone’s poking you with a stick. Rolling away into a defensive stance, you examine who you’re going to have to fight. The first thing you notice is its eyes. The completely black, piercing eyes send shivers down your spine. It's wearing a purple hat, that almost resembles a 'robin hood' hat. The two foot tall goblin has purple hair, and is wearing some sort of leather clothing with a strap across her shoulder, which is accompanied by a small pack. You also notice it has a pointy stick in it’s right hand

It asks in a surprisingly gentle female voice,"Do you mind if I try this potion on you?" it... SHE asks, as she opens the pack strapped to her and reveals a flask with bubbling pink liquid inside. The top of the flask is corked, and pink smog seems to occupy the top of the flask, in between the cork and the liquid itself. What do you do?

*Ten hours pass.*
You gather as many rocks as you can to create a circle around you, hopefully anything that wants to kill will kick it and wake you up, giving you a chance to defend yourself. You also remember there were old wives tales about how demons couldn’t pass through circles either, maybe that could help? They were supposed to be salt circles admittedly, but it’s definitely better than nothing.
Hours later, you wake up ready and refreshed to go and slay demons and bring justice to the infernal realm! Now, if only you knew where some demons were…

*Gained 30 experience for winning a fight! You need a hundred experience points to level up, the amount needed to level up increasing by one hundred each. E.G Need 100 to reach lvl 2, 200 to reach lvl 3, 300 to reach lvl 4, etc. Also, you don't have a tent at your campsite, it's literally just some bunched together grass for a bed in a small clearing you made.*

Deciding to leave the foul mouthed beast behind, you head back to your campsite. You hear it starting to shout some more obscenities at you, but suddenly you're back at your campsite! It appears to be the same mechanism that took you from the plains to the hills so suddenly, but this time you didn't have to walk more than five paces! Turning around, you can still see the hills, but the creature doesn't seem to be there anymore.

Behind you, you can still see the lake, which definitely wasn't that close to your campsite when you first arrived. Beyond that, nothing seems different from when you first arrived. Well, it is darker because the sun has gotten a bit lower in the sky, but it's not any different from back home. What do you do?
