SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

If you don't want to buy official 5E, but you want to get something as close.

I sort of do own 5E. 

I have both free downloadable demo games.  I have D&D Basic 2018, and D&D Essentials. 

However, I also have Adventures in Rokugan D20 rules.  This is probably as close to owning D&D 5E as I'll get.  I'm not much for complex rules, but I'm still curious about what goes on with the biggest game in this hobby. 

That's why I'm asking.  Which game can be a direct replacement for D&D 5E?

The answer seems to be Tales of the Valiant.

I'm not going to get TotV, but it's nice to know. 
I'm glad for you if you like the top selling game of the genre.  Me, I like the road less travelled, and will be the player asking we try a game you've never heard of.

The Game Master's Guide for Tales Of The Valiant is the most complete guide of its type that I have seen. It even contains two kinds of monster creation rules. As well as listings for several Pantheons of gods. It just delivers in every way.

Both of the D&D DMGs do not contain any monster creation rules. And neither does either of the D&D Monster Manuals. WotC just leaves you on your own for monster creation.
