About This Game
I've recently found KibblesTasty's five free homebrew classes, and was instantly fascinated by them. I really hope someone reciprocates the favor and I can try playing one, but I'm happy to GM nonetheless. I've never been in an isekai game, so this would be one.

Detailed Description
Visit Kibbles' site, you can find the free classes almost at the bottom.
The character is a video game player (MMO or single player, makes no difference), and gets stuck in the game world, which becomes impossibly realistic after an in-game rest.
The character will lose 5% of current Xp when they die, and will respawn at a location known to the character, chosen by the player. I think 5% Xp stings, but not tragic, and this will strongly encourage the player to play smart. This also means I will NOT hold back, because the character won't really die.
Since no system is exactly the best for solo play, unless it is specifically designed for that, I'm planning to use the method of one such game: contacts.
If you need a skill or ability you don't have, you'll have to find a contact, and invite / hire them to do the job, which might involve accompanying you at least temporarily. Finding a contact will be easy in this game, exactly for this purpose. Experts like this will be in abundance, so it's going to be character/player choice to pick the one based on the price (material or favor-based).
It will be up to the player to roleplay/control such companions or leave that to the GM.
Another way is to have more than one PCs, which is fine with me; which also makes the Warlord a usable class here..

*peers in* Hey fabulist everything alright

Strange encounter, Merisiel leave with this thought, a truly strange encounter , she sense that there is something deeper but she's only interested in the reward, she already had to fight a monster for what could turn out to be pennies, thats not good, she's no knight in shiny armor. She leave the cave and go back the way she has come, using her grappling hook to make the climb back to the city, once there she will pick one of the posters and move to francis's parents home.

He's going to go check out the slide line and see if anything magical or physical would have triggered the slide or accidentally caused it
-
What does he do next? Checking on the slide line, checking the grotto, or something else?

Francis watches as Merisiel puts away his letter with perceptible longing and doubt in his eyes. As the elf turns to the creature and asks for its name, it muses for a few seconds before answering her. "I am Friend. I'm Friend for Francis, you can call me that." It turns back to Francis and indicates the way up the ledge with one of its hands. "You were telling me the story about the girl in the forest with the ghosts. I'd like to hear what happens to her and her family."

Theodore Benson | HP 20/20 | AC: 15 | Spell Slots: 1/1 Condition: new task - investigate the slide Theo paused for a moment in thought. Having been raised in a coven of 'witches' himself he took slight offense at the assumption that witches and hags had something to do with the slide however a memory surfaced of some of the elder's teachings saying that most fear what they do not know and the magic the coven does is often considered unknown because they prefer to keep their knowledge of ancient magic pacts and agreements out of the hands of those they do not trust and while most in their particular coven uses magic for the greater good, there are some in other covens who seek to use magic for their own personal gain and sometimes might even use it for evil. "I'll take a look, at the slide line" He stated evenly "I know some arcane lore and what to look for to tell if the slide was caused by magic or was a natural event waiting to happen due to other reasons accelerated by use of magic and if magic is involved, I will investigate those strange and scary people just to put people's minds at ease."
-
Merisiel take the letter, fold it with care and stow it in her journal, finally she place the journal back into the backpack "i'll try to be as quick as possible" she say at the boy then she look at the creature "thanks for taking care of Francis..." she realize the creature hasnt said it's name " how should i call you?"
-
"Well, if you are versed in arcane lore, you could have a look at the slide's starting line, people always whisper about witches and hags. If nothing else, it will make them feel safer, hmmm? Also, there's a grotto just a little further north of here, and folks say they've seen ... strange and scary people there. If you have the time, that is, but return to Breakstone if you have to."
-
Francis muses a little about what she says, then a puzzled little smile spreads over his face. "Well, ok, I guess." then he turns and climbs back up the ledge, and reappears after half a minute. He's got a moderately crumbled sheet of paper tucked into his pants, which he handles over to Merisiel. Dear Dad + Mom, I'm down here in the cave, with my friend and I really like it here. Come and talk to me, you gonna like it too. I love cherry pie. Francis OOC I'd still like a Perception DC 16 check 🙂

Theodore Benson | HP 20/20 | AC: 15 | Condition: task cleared Theo exhaled "breakstone practically half gone now from what I saw. Not fully sure who's in charge but the guy who recruited me, Herbreth, seemed to organize the group he gathered pretty well. However after doing some of the critical healing work there. I just followed Panna to here on her request without clearing it with him so he might be a bit upset with me when he and the others catch up or when I check in with him if I decide to go back to Breakstone. Although considering all the healing work I did today I think he might let it slide." He chuckled lightly on the whole slide line but then realized his line was inappropriate considering the current situation and he lightly bopped himself in the mouth. "Bad theo." He snapped at himself then exhaled "anyways you all got me for the time being until this mess is cleared up." Theo hummed "as for the slide I’m no expert on deducing why something happen but I'm thinking the rain and possibly the mining might have been a cause of it.

She think about the kid's story and his request , wondering if this monster isnt some kind of guardian spirit shaped by Francis imagination and latent powers. "well, you see, i cant just bring them here, i'm a stranger, this place is outside the city and quite dangerous, they wont follow me without a good reason" assuming they have some common sense. "but you can write a message, i can show it to them as proof that i have indeed found you , or you could tell me something only you and them know, or give me an object that will surely recognize as yours, i need something to persuade them" She has her own motivations to make such request, Merisiel intend to get paid before sending the parents here, in case they decide to cheat her out of the reward...or get killed by the monster.

The creature lets out small sounds of relief at Merisiel's talk to Francis, and the boy looks rather surprised. He opens his mouth several times but then says nothing before he can formulate an answer. "I ... like it here. My friend," -- he indicates the creature standing there -- "loves my stories and I like telling them. And she gets more interesting every time I tell one, you know. She keeps things what I tell and she looks different, like I was making her up. Or drawing her." His big smile looks really genuine at that. "Now, come on, Francis, I'm your friend, not everybody's. Remember what we talked about?" "Ok, sorry. ... I'd like to talk to mom and dad, here. Or, outside the cave. Can you bring them?" - he asks Merisiel. OOC I'd like a Wis save vs. DC 16; and if you'd like to persuade Francis in any direction, a Cha check.

Merisiel cant avoid making a comment at the creature" for an immortal you care a lot about fleeting lives like ours, to you we must be like a mayfly, born yesterday, dead tomorrow" Not that she is truly interested in the monster's motivations, she's just doesnt like being called mortal, those who use such term tend to have god-complex. Anyway the boy appear and the inventor dedicate her attention to him, she get close enough to observe the Francis, but not too close, she doesnt want to scare him, or annoy the strange creature. "Hello Francis, your parents have filled the town with posters about you, if you want to return to them i can escort you, if, instead, you want to leave them then, at least, do write them a note, tell them whatever you want, lie if you wish, but give them something or they will keep searching. I'll deliver it." Ultimately it's Francis choice, Merisiel wont drag the kid against his will, they arent paying her enough to pick a fight with a shapeshifting monster.

Panna crouched down with the two in fever, but didn't dare to touch them. She was worried sick but she was apparently afraid of something. While Theo treated them, a smile spread on her face, and as soon as he was done, she sat down and took their hands without a word. The two hugged her and the three were lost in being together. Endrean left Theo to do his job, and went around to assist with the buildings. He returned a few minutes after Theo finished. "The folks told me you did what you could. Thank you for your aid. We don't have healers here, they mostly make a living in town. ... What's the situation in Breakstone? Who's in charge there? We have no idea what caused this landslide, there are so many possible reasons. The rain is one, but we haven't had anything this bad in living memory."
-
The creature's eyes suddenly change into feline eyes after it blinks, then its tail slowly morphs into that of fox. While the changes take place, it contemplates what Merisiel said. "The world is dangerous. It is dangerous to mortals, it has been since the invasion. The creatures of darkness don't want peace with mortals, you are just sustenance for them. This little human can't fight one and survive, like the one you defeated outside the shroud. ... Talk to him, if you want to." It looks up where it descended and calls out. "Francis, there's someone here, and elf if I say it properly, who wants to talk to you." After a few seconds, a boy appears at the top of the ledge. "Hello?"

No worries man, take what time you need. I’ll be here

Dont worry, take the time you need, real life has always the priority

Hi, I've had some rough hitches in my life, but things are smoothing out a little. I hope to get a game post on Sunday.

Hi, I've had some rough hitches in my life, but things are smoothing out a little. I hope to get a game post on Sunday. I think we should put me as a player on hold until I have more time and energy.

Merisiel cant hide her surprise(and fear), the creature remind her a chimera, but unlike the mythological beast this one is intelligent and able to communicate. The inventor has so many questions but this is not the right place and time, she need to think carefully her next action because this could end very badly for her. Mustering the courage to speak, she reply at the creature "I..." she cough "I'm not looking for troubles, i'm not going to take the child anywhere against his will, if he is truly happy here then let him speak, allow me to verify, if what you have said is true, i'll leave" she had her doubts about the whole story and did suspect that the child fled from his parents, but the only way to know what happened is to speak with Francis.

Eh all 4 are about equal in terms of me being able to pull an authentic feel (I know the general idea but exact theme replication is going to take some research. Might be able to do Jungle tribal the best)

Theodore Benson | HP 20/20 | AC: 15 | Condition: Next village Theo hummed "I'll get to work" Theo took a deep breath focused his thoughts and went to work ~~~ Work Results ~~~ The old man was fortunate Theo had some spirit guides as backup as with their help they managed to clean and patch up the old man (11 plus guidance of 3 makes the DC) The two with the fevers were easily treated. Theo did have to use some magic to heal the remaining 4 (two spell slots consumed) however one of the spell slots he used was to create good berries and fed them to people to make sure they would fully recover At the end Theo was minorly exhausted but the work was complete Theo exhaled "that should keep all here off death's doorstep." He stated

As her voice echoes in the cave, the previous soft speech stops and there is silence for a while. Then she hears movement to her right, sliding noises moving towards her. Something then visibly descends on the wall dropping from the ledge, and a creature stands in front of her, half a dozen meters from her. It is a mish-mash of known animals and supernatural creatures known to Merisiel. Generally humanoid, with a dragon's head, lynx's fluffy ear, long arms of an ape ending in webbed fingers, a tail ending in a stinger, and random pieces of armor here and there covering little spots on its body. "The boy wants nothing from you, mortal. He is happy here, and you shouldn't take that from him."
-
Merisiel focus more on beign careful than stealthy, moving silently may be good but not slipping down a fissure is better, she doesnt know the place so prefer to minimize the risks. Hearing a voice she decide to be forthcoming, if the cave is inhabited then she is the intruder, better to announce herself. "Francis? Francis? can you hear me?"

"Seven who can't really move, and three of them are in danger of dying. Farbal here," he pointed at a man, maybe old enough to be Theo's great-grandfather, who had crack dry sand all over his clothes, "was the only one caught inside, he wasn't fast enough. Hanya and Karol have the fever, that's why we brought them all outside to cool down." The latter two were a young woman and a middle-aged man with calloused, working hands. "They won't hold together long without skillful help." OOC Same mechanics as in Breakstone.
