Niccolo the travelling merchant will catch you with his fishing rod, he wakes you up, then leaves, save at the golden statue. Then exit south.
You hear a scream from the meadow, there will be Chopin Hood attacking a girl, kill the monster then there will be some dialogue, then she joins you but first you have to find a book for her, form the bottom left square, go up 3 times then slash at the grass infront of you, once you find it keep searching becuse you can get some items from the grass. Go south to exit.
There will be some Rabites, they are easily taken care of, go northeast on each screen to get to Topple, but you can get some experience, if you see a sword above you, that means that your sword has gained a level, it can gain up to 99 levels, each makes it more powerful, if you see al LV up logo then press and it is probably best to choose Magician every time until you becom a Magician, then you can choose whatever you want.
The Girl will leave you when you go to Topple but feel free to explore the village.
