I'm out of Magicka, And I'm being chased by a sea monster. I need to come up with a method for killing, disabling, or even retreating from this creature.
Considering the fact that it's outrunning me, I can't retreat.
So I'll have to either kill it or disable it, that should be easy with my current armament, but I have little ammo, and missing my shot would be disastrous, and If I wait for it to get close it could be a problem aiming at the thing, and I don't know what kind of weird magic or supernatural strength it might have.
I have one idea. My Auxiliary armament, if Producing ammo for those smaller guns is cheaper, then disabling or killing that thing at this range would become easier.
Status, how much Magicka do I have?
-Magicka: 2%
Well, it's something, I'll make ammo for my 12 10.5-centimeter gun.
...
I produced 22 rounds... It's not a lot but it's not like I'm fighting a destroyer. I only need to kill some aquatic life, should be easy.
I decided that I should only load two turrets on my stern with 11 rounds each, I'm only going to fire slowly, as I want to be as accurate as I possibly can.
I slow to let it catch up faster, when it's within one kilometer, I aim just slightly ahead of the bulge in the water.
I fired four shots at the creature. Two of them hit, and the creature viers to the right a second later.
I adjust my aim towards the creature and again, fired four shots, since it was now only 700 meters away, they all hit.
The creature dives as soon as it's hit.
Oh no...
And at the worst possible moment, my propellers die.
[Ability 'Propulsion' has leveled up (Level 1)]
This. Is. BAD! Well except for the level up...
This is the worst possible outcome. I have lost my ability to move, and my enemy is out of sight.
Wait a minute, I think I'm forgetting something... What weapon is used to attack enemies under the sea?1"Under the sea
Under the sea
Darling it's better
Down where it's wetter
Take it from me"
Even tho I do not possess any method of tracking my enemy, I do have Depth charges.
This may have been the best possible outcome!
[Gained ability 'Radar and sonar']
Yes! That is perfect!
I then activate the ability, somehow it can track this creature, I don't know how, but I'm grateful!
It's only 50 meters under the sea, and 100 meters away. Shit, It's close!
I immediately make as many depth charges as I can, which is three. I then drop them into the deep, blue void.
A little while later I can feel slight shockwaves coming from the water.
The creature slowly starts raising, I aim my turrets at its predicted spot of surfacing.
I soon see its body peeking out of the water, I immediately fire all 16 remaining rounds I have left... All of them hit the still target.
The water slowly turned red, and a couple of pieces of pink flesh floated to the surface, The body was riddled with large bloody holes.
It was mainly blue with black and purple accents, it had the general shape of a shark, and it was about the size of a large torpedo boat.
With the creature lying on its side, I could see its mouth. It was like a child's nightmare had just come to life, its jaw was lined with Razor sharp teeth, and because of its size, it looked like it had hundreds, if not a thousand teeth. It had six black eyes with no purples at all.
...
[You have killed a 'Demonic shark', gained 6 levels.]
[Gained title 'Monster Hunter']
What... Did I level up? This is great! I have to see what changed!

So I gained 10 points of Magic from Adaptability? I guess the ability increases my stats based on my needs?...
Anyway, I also gained the title monster hunter. that's cool I guess...
OH! My Magicka is in full condition!
I should spend probably half of it on ammo, and the other half on fuel. Since they are both important supplies, I shouldn't prioritize one over the other.
I'm also going to spend my Magicka on rounds for my 10.5-centimeter guns, my larger guns are really expensive and just overkill, a couple of dozen rounds from a 10.5 could kill a monster, and even if it misses it won't be an expensive mistake.
After emptying all of my magicka on ammo and fuel, I gained a fair bit of fuel, I can maybe get around with this much, and I nearly filled my racks with 10.5-centimeter rounds...
I think it might have something to do with the increase in the magic stat. This is, of course very welcomed, as I only have to spend most of my Magicka on fuel!
I also have some ability points, I could buy some abilities or level up some abilities, but since I can level up my abilities naturally, ill just see which abilities are worth buying.
Ability Outlet!
[Superior German Engineering]
Great, the gods are German weeaboos.
An ability to change what type of rounds are being fired.
An ability to auto-target areas that are less likely to sink/kill
An ability that makes the hull Regen from corpses/debris
An ability that can create mana batteries
An ability to partially submerge the ship without capsizing
An ability to electrify the hull/corridors of the ship(anti-invasion ability)
anti-rape
[Superior German Engineering] this is because German engineering is considered some of the most advanced, when the war ended the US and the USSR rolled dice for whoever would get the ship, the US got it and reverse-engineered it with questionable success, then they nuked it, cause you can never not nuke every old warship you got. this title is powerful. it will help the protagonist afford the super expensive abilities and increases stat gain and some other stuff.
also, the Captain ability is the people's interaction ability, communication is the main thing, but stuff such as who can and can't board the ship, goes along with this ability.
@KMS_Prinz_Eugen professor thx for teaching me

@Bingbongzz I agree with this person who agrees with me.
