Unnamed Dev

You: Where am I? What is this? Who are you?...

You: Who am I?... Do you know my name?

Stranger: No, I am afraid I do not. However, my name is Ralf.

You: Do you know how I got here?

Ralf: Sadly, I do not. I am but a simple wanderer.

You: Do you know anyone who knows who I am and anything of my past?

Ralf: There are some people who could perhaps find your name and background, but I do not know them.

You: Do you know how I could find the m?

Ralf: No, but I do know that getting them to perform such a task would require immense resources.

Ralf: As you can't seem to remember anything, I will teach you a little of what I know so that you can get by in this world.

Ralf: The rest is up to you.

You: Thank you.

Ralf: Its my pleasure.

You: So were do we begin?

Ralf: Well, to start you can explore to gather seeds. Food is a requirement after all.

Ralf: I see you have grasped the basic concept behind this task. However, you may find it easier to perform this task after examining a large number of seeds.

You: Thank you for that advice.

Ralf: Now moving on... You can plant these seeds, though it will take some time, and due to your mediocre skills, not all of the seeds will end up well planted.

Ralf: The seeds will grow after a short period, and then you can harvest the grown wheat.

You: That's good to know. Is there anything else?

Ralf: Wheat will rot if left standing in the field, so it's a good idea to quickly harvest it.

You: And that's it?

Ralf: That's it for now, but I will teach you a way to plant seeds more efficently, it'll cost you some wheat though.

Ralf: Why thank you, kind sir.

You: Of course, now what is this plowing?

Ralf: Plowing allows you to plant seeds more efficently then just digging holes and scattering seeds.

You: Ah. Now what should I do?

Ralf: Well, continuing to harvest wheat for food is all well and good, but to truly get places in life you need money!

You: Money? What is that?

Ralf: ...

You: ...

Ralf: Money is... a currency... um... It's something that is accepted to have a certain value with a group of people.

You: So... wheat is money?

Ralf: Well, money is assigned a value that it may or may not actually have, and that value varies based on the whims of the group of people.

You: But.. I need it?

Ralf: Yes. In this area coins are the currency. I'll introduce you to a trader, and he should be able to get you a few copper coins for 25 wheat.

Ralf: Furthermore, you can trade 100 copper coins for 1 silver coins, and 50 silver coins for 1 gold coin.

You: That sounds... hard.

Ralf: Well, get your first 30 copper coins and we'll go from there.

You: I have the coins. Now what?

Ralf: Well, now that you have some money, you can get people to work for you.

You: So... I give this... money... to people and they do things for me?

Ralf: Yes, that's about how this works. Except normally you would have to give people money every certain amount of time, or they would quit.

Ralf: So instead, you'll be buying slaves.

You: Slaves?

Ralf: People who are forced into labor and treated as property. It's not a pretty way to achieve your dreams, but it is a fast way.

You: Okay... I guess...
