Seems that what you're looking for is Ironsworn, it's a free, rules lite RPG that can be played Solo. I love it and it's sci-fi counterpart (Starforged) and there's also a pirate one in the making.
Also not free (DnD also isn't) but you can take a look at Dungeon World it's based on Apocalypse world so it's more RP friendly and can be very easy for newcomers because it's much more rules lite than DnD. Personally one of my favorite systems for medieval fantasy, but I don't really like DnD so this might not be what you're looking for. To play solo you might need this supplement though I've never used it.
I'll second Ironsworn - it takes a little bit to figure out the mindset, but it's also improved my other games since I started playing it! And, yeah, Ironsworn is free!
