POV Hécate :
The sun is barely setting and I already have a problem.
My problem is that it is dark and I am hungry. And the only way to feed myself is to cook a ration. And to cook a ration, you need fire!
You can imagine that fire on wood does not mix well.
So to solve this problem, I made a fire with my old uniform in a corner of the raft.
With this fire, I have to hurry to cook before either the fire goes out or the raft burns.
Fortunately, it does not take much time to cook the ration.
I managed to cook my food without my raft going through it.
Before eating, I have to put out the fire and what could be easier to put it out with water which is just nearby.
Now that the fire is out, I can enjoy my meal.
While I was eating, I took my flashlight and my equipment and looked up how it worked.
But I quickly realized that the equipment was already prepared for me and ready to use.
Just open a valve and I can breathe with it.
"Well, a good thing actually"
Since I had nothing to do with the equipment anymore, I left it on the side and continued to eat my meal while thinking what to do if I found a boat or an island full of living beings.
A plan quickly came into my mind.
My plan is simple. I will use my diving gear to infiltrate undetected.
Once done, I take out my P90 and shoot anything that moves.
I just hope that if it's a boat, I can easily get on it.
I also wonder if I can take the boat for me.
A boat is better than that old raft that risks capsizing with every wave.
With this plan in mind, I stop eating and change my current gear to scuba gear.
Indeed, if I see a boat in the distance, there is a good chance that they have also spotted me.
Then I should hurry to jump into the water to execute my plan.
Of course, I did not equip the fins, the oxygen bottles and the mask. But the rest is equipped and ready to use.
Once finished, I sit down on the ground and resume my meal where I left off. But I realized that I had already eaten everything.
I take a sip of water and saw that I have nothing more to do, I head for my tent, more precisely my bed.
Once reached, I settle in, close my eyes and try to fall asleep.
____Time Jump_____
"I hate sleeping."
You understand, I did not have a restful night due to different things.
Anyway next .
I get up from my bed and head out of the tent.
Once outside, I see the same landscape that I left last night. The only difference is that now it is daylight.
Once this observation is made, I take out a bottle of water and I drink.
As soon as I finish the bottle, I put the plastic bottle in my inventory and start doing exercises.
I do as much as my body can handle.
Too bad my body didn't last long. I don't know how long exactly because I don't have a watch but I think I only did 20 minutes of training.
It's little, too little. I will start again in the evening before going to bed from now on.
Now I'm going to rest for a few minutes because I can't even raise my arm properly.
_____time jump_____
Damn, I just fell asleep.
Oh no, the sun is almost down. The training exhausted me so much?
"My body is really weak."
With this thought, I tried to get up but my body called me to order. I have never had such aches in my entire life.
As I pondered what to do with my useless body while looking at the horizon, I saw something floating high far away.
Squinting at the floating object, I quickly realized it was a medium sized boat.
With this realization, all the pain I felt went away and was replaced by excitement.
"Ohhhh My first victim"

Boat captain POV
Today was a great day of looting.
I looted and destroyed 4 merchant ships and as a bonus, I destroyed that filthy thief's ship!
This thief stole several boats that I was targeting!
He managed to steal them from me just because he was going faster but once I managed to catch him, his ship turned into wreckage!
There was no chance!
I have better men with a mage system than him.
Hehehehe
Now the whole crew is drinking like there's no tomorrow!
Personally, I don't drink because I have a bad feeling. I sense a malevolent presence and it intensifies more and more.
My men tried to show me that there is nothing in the water and even less on the water. That despite the fact that we dropped anchor, we can leave in less than 30 seconds and that even if something dares to come and confront us, we will eliminate it without too much difficulty but nothing helps.
« HO CAPTAIN! COME HAVE FUN WITH US ! » shouted a crew member.
« YES MY CAPTAIN! COME ! IT'S NOT EVERY DAY WE HAVE SUCH A WONDERFUL VICTORY » shouted another crew member.
« In the end, they are right. Nothing will happen »
« Okay, OK, I com….. »
BOOOMMMM!
« WHAT'S THIS ?! A MAGE HAS LOST THE PEDALS?! »
« HAAAA HELP MEEEE! »
« WHAT IS THAT ?! »
BOOOOOOMMMMM!
« What is happening ?"
Two explosions just happened in less than 5 seconds.
And those two explosions were strong enough to kill over half my men.
I don't know of any mage who can send out such a blast with such a short interval.
"THIS MUST BE AN ATTACK BY AN ENEMY SHIP!"
« STOP SCREAMING LIKE WISPIES AND GET UP DAMN YOU! » I shouted with the most force I could find.
« WE GET ATTACKED BY AN ENEMY SHIP! SO TAKE…. » I ordered before being interrupted.
The next moment, I found myself on the ground, covered in blood.
« THE CAPTAIN HAS BEEN HIT » someone shouted
« QUICK ! PROTECT…»

POV Hecate
"The captain is dead, more than the rest of the crew"
With this thought, I put the fire selector of my P90 on automatic and I leave the rest to my precious P90 which has never disappointed me.
BRMMMM!
"More effective than I expected"
With just a simple charger, the rest of life that remained on the boat is gone.
Now that I no longer see people alive, I change the magazine and finally get on the ship.
With light steps, I clear the deck of the ship.
On the deck, nothing moves, so I head for a door that must surely lead to the inside of the ship.
Once I get to the front, I slowly open the door while being prepared to fight back.
Once completely open, I go down the stairs and I do as I did on the bridge, I clear.
In the end, there was nothing down there, just treasures and food.
Anyway, nothing is alive on this boat anymore and that's a good thing.
"My plan worked perfectly"
My plan was to approach the ship with my scuba gear.
Once close, I had to eliminate all the sailors who were bathing.
This party was very easy because they were all drunk and completely blind for lack of black.
As soon as I finished, I clung to the ladder they probably put up. Once there, I quickly bought two grenades and threw them one after the other. I didn't want my grenades to explode in the same place.
After the explosions, I climbed the ladder and as soon as I saw a man who was above everyone with lots of people shouting at him to come, I quickly understood that he was the captain .
So as a good tactician, I eliminated the chain of command.
Once done, the men were disorganized and it was easy to do the rest.
Anyway, now I find myself with a lot of corpses, treasures, food and a boat that has two big holes in the deck.
Well, let's start by looking at what this battle brought me
~ Army System
Name: Hecate Smith
Age: 17
Code Name: Nightmare
Levels 20: 12,750/20,000
Silver:55.265 silvers
Quest in progress: none selected
Inventory
market
Quest list
Fighting method~
"Excellent . With all these silvers, I would no longer have a problem with money and I am now level 20."
If I'm level 20, I must have unlocked a lot of new items in the store.
"Let's see "
~Market
1xFN Scar-L: 10,000 silvers
30x bullets of 5.56 x45 mm NATO: 500 silvers
1x magazine of Scar-l:500 silvers
1xtwo point strap:250 silvers

1xtactical watch:500 silvers
1xL96A1: 12500 silvers
10x 7.62 x 51 mm NATO: 500 silvers
1xmagazine of L96A1: 500 silvers
1x4x32 riflescope: 500 silvers
1xbipod:500 silvers~
I unlocked an assault rifle and a sniper.
Thanks to them, I could make different less dangerous plans.
Anyway, I will buy each new items with a holographic sight, a laser and 3 scar magazine and L96A1.
I'm not going to buy pouches for magazines because I don't plan to change pouches every time I change weapons.
In addition, the P90 remains my main weapon.
Regarding the price for my purchase, I have to pay 28,750 silvers.
That's a lot considering how much I earned today.
I would look at my purchases later because I would like to test something.
I head for the treasures that are inside the boat. Once arrived, I take in hand a vase which must be worth a lot.
With this vase, I try to put it in my inventory.
~Ding
1x old Vase add to inventory ~
I can put things that don't belong to the system in my inventory.
"Let's go to step 2"
I open my inventory and go to the walking functions. Once done, I select the sell option.
As soon as I selected , I see my inventory appear and the vase is in it.
I select the vase and I sell it.
~Do you want to sell 1x old vase for 500 silvers. Confirm?~
"As I thought . I can sell items that are not in the system"
With this thought, I confirm my sale and the vase is sold.
"I know what I'm going to do while waiting for my next victim"
But before that, I have to prepare food and drink.
I haven't eaten anything since morning.
With this thought in mind, I go back on deck and start to make a fire with the wreckage of the ship.
After a while, I sit down on a chair and start eating.
As I eat, I think about the details of my next plan.
My plan in general is to settle on this boat and let it drift.
The other ships will see me and they will want to investigate what happened on this ship or just steal the treasure.
And as soon as they board my ship, I will activate my traps.
And I will kill the lucky ones who are still alive.
But the problem that I encounter and that I try to solve is precisely the traps.
At first, I was just thinking of tying grenades with strings. And as soon as I have to activate them, I just pull the strings. But I find where the strings are.
If I use strings or rope or something but it is possible to see them, they will be able to suspect that something is wrong.
What to do ?
.
.
And damn it, I can't find anything.
I would throw grenades at random and we'll see.
It's not a simple sword that will defeat me.
"Good, now the plan is finished, I can enjoy the night and my meal."
