Water...

There is only water, all around me. I'm surrounded by water and a bright blue sky with a sun blazing overhead.

I only had three questions...

Where am I?

Who am I?

What am I?

And then my memories came flooding in, like a tidal wave.

Ah. I understand now.

I'm in another world.

I am the Prinz Eugen.

I'm a Heavy Cruiser, a warship.

I don't know how, but after I capsized, I somehow got transported to another world. How I know that I don't know... Why I am here? I also, do not know. How I'm sentient? That... I still do not know the answer...

I have all these questions, yet no answers to them.

How am I going to get supplies like fuel and ammo?

How good would my crew even be?

wait...

Do I have a crew?

...

Nope. I don't have a crew. How do I even move then? how do I fire my weapons?  How do I defend myself from Destroyers and Cruisers?

[Gained ability 'propulsion'.]

[Gained ability 'Fire-Control system'.]¹This is fire control, as in controlling the guns, not a Fire-Suppression system...

what... what is this? Suddenly, as if responding to my thoughts, a flat, transparent blue plate appeared in my vision telling me that I have gained an "ability" called "Propulsion" and "Fire-Control system'.

What does that even mean?

[You have obtained an 'ability'.]

Again, what is that? 

[an ability is the power and skill to do something.]

ok... well, how do I use an ability?

[abilities are simple to use, you just will it, and the ability will activate.]

and how do I view my current abilities?

[by thinking or saying the term 'status', it will show a simplified version of all your statistics and conditions, which also includes your abilities.]

alright... Status!

...

What?

That is kind of overwhelming...

I hope this status thing can answer my questions...

What is a Level, stats, unique abilities, titles, and experience level? and what is "Magic"?

[Levels are a rough estimation of the individual's stats and experiences, the higher level an individual is, the stronger and more proficient at their abilities they are. Abilities may also have levels, the higher the level of ability, the more proficient an individual with that ability is.]

[Increasing your level will result in a minor growth in all of your base stats as well as rewarding you with ability points]

[Stats are a rough numerical measure of your base statistics, such as but not limited to, Fitness, Agility, and Magic.] 

[Unique abilities are special abilities that are extremely difficult to obtain, they do not have levels, but they are usually extremely strong and useful, and individuals with these abilities are highly valued in most societies.]

[Titles are just as they sound, they are rewarded to you based off of your accomplishments, some can even grant you rewards and bonuses such as stats and abilities or even unique abilities.]

[Experience level is the amount of experience you have to obtain to reach the next level, experience grows with your experience in anything, be it fighting, crafting, building, politics, or even exercise.]

[Magic... Magic is the power or influence over reality itself, with the power of magic you can bend the fabric of reality to your will, of course only the most powerful of mages can have such a large influence over reality.]

Oh... magic, that seems interesting...

Also! How do I obtain more abilities?

[There are a few methods as to how you can obtain abilities. The first and easiest method is to purchase them in the "Ability outlet" The method to view the Ability outlet is the same as the status, you simply think or say the term "Ability outlet" and it will appear. Then you can purchase abilities with ability points.]

[Another more commonly used method, is to earn your abilities, for example, if someone trains, or fights with the sword, they will receive an ability related to swordsmanship, of course, this isn't easy but it's free, and you can spend those points when you want to level up an ability early or buy an ability that you may desperately need. Although for your case, earning abilities will be almost impossible because of your body.]

Last question, what is Magicka?

[Magicka is the measure of how much magic you can cast. Magicka is essential to any fighter as most abilities require Magicka to use, or operate.]

I have abilities... does that mean that I have Magicka?

[yes.]

Cool, do you have anything else that I may need to know?

[My time with you is over]

What do you mean our time is over? Are you leaving?

[The tutorial has ended. Good Luck on your journey, and be sure to entertain us well!]

What do you mean, "...Be sure to entertain us well!" Who am I even entertaining? Will I ever meet them?

Hello, Network!

Hello!?

...

uh...

Alas, I am once again... staring into the deep blue sea...

KMS_Prinz_Eugen

I have beat my word goal INTO THE GROUND! my original word goal was around 500, but after checking, I have 900 words!!! Also sorry for dumping information on you that you already know, I just have to explain to the protagonist how everything works... the next chapter will be the protagonist checking out the "Ability Outlet" and maybe even a confrontation... also please tell me how I can improve, especially with this chapter, as I want the best quality out of my series!
