Progress Knight
Progress Knight follows a single life in a medieval kingdom, told through progress bars and numbers. You start at age 14 as a penniless beggar with about 70 years to live. Time passes on its own while your job earns coins and your chosen skill slowly levels up.
Every life has an end, and that is the hook. Once you grow old, a mysterious amulet lets you begin again with lasting bonuses, so each life moves faster than the one before. Ihtasham42 made the game and released it into the public domain.
How to play Progress Knight
You always hold one job and study one skill at a time. Click a row to switch to it. Higher levels need more xp, and each job level pays a little more. Better jobs open once you reach level 10 in the previous job and hit certain skill levels, such as Strength 5 for the first military rank.
Money is shown in copper, silver, gold and platinum, with 100 of one making 1 of the next. When you can afford it, the Shop lets you move to better homes and buy items. Homes raise happiness, which speeds up all xp, while items like the Book or Dumbbells help specific skills. Each one has a daily upkeep, and going below zero coins strips them all away.
The Amulet tab shows up at age 25. From 65 on, you can be reborn, gaining an xp multiplier on every job and skill based on the highest level you reached. Two automation switches, auto-promote and auto-learn, become available once you turn 20.

Tips
- Level Strength in your first life. It unlocks the military ladder at level 5 and is needed for some common jobs too.
- Grab the Book from the Shop as soon as you can. It is cheap and boosts skill xp, which helps everything you train afterward.
- Keep an eye on your daily net income before adding upkeep. A purchase that pushes you into the red will cost you every item at once.
- Do not hurry into your first rebirth. Your bonus depends on the highest levels you reached, so a longer life pays off in the next one.
- With auto-learn on, mark unhelpful skills as skipped so the game spends your time on the ones that matter.
