Seeing this, he was speechless, at least now he was certain he was not on Earth anymore. He carefully read all the information present, level 2... It didn't take a genius to know it was low. As for his weapons he didn't have any reference to compare with so he could not say if the damage values were high or not.
He cautiously moved his hand closer to the levitating screen.
As he touched the panel, the text transformed:
-[Cold-blooded]: Increase resistance to mental attacks and psychic disturbances, allows one to think calmly in any situation.
-[Indomitable] :Increase physical resistance and increase pain resistance
-[Analysis] : allows one to analyze an object or a living being
-[Plunderer] : Allows one to steal abilities from slain beings , the chances of theft increase with one’s level and the number of beings killed.
It was already hard to believe the situation he was in was real and now he had fantasy skills as well ?
The fact that he accepted the existence of these abilities so easily probably came from [Cold Blooded]. But it was useless to dwell on that.
[Cold Blooded] and [Indomitable] were already pretty great from their description but [Plunderer] was just incredible. He understood right away that theoretically he could become stronger without limit and exponentially!
He decided to test [Analysis] right away. He focused on the corpse of the monster in front of him and activated the skill by simply saying its name.
A new, smaller window appeared in front of him, [Goblin Lvl 5], was the only thing written. He felt a little disappointed but hoped that the descriptions would become more accurate if he continued to use his skill.

The sun was already getting high in the sky so he packed his things and set off again, the rest of the day was hot and he spent it activating [Analysis] on everything around him in the hope of learning more about the place he was in.
When evening came, he finally achieved his goal, when he activated it without a specific target, something new appeared [Great Gubu Forest east of Erma's kingdom].
When he read this message, he breathed a long sigh of relief, even though it was vague, he now knew that intelligent life existed around here since there was a “kingdom”, he was heading in the right direction and had not spent the last 2 days walking in vain.
He spent his second night high up in the branches to avoid repeating the same mistakes as the day before. He slept with one eye open and was on the lookout for a possible attack. But the night passed and nothing came out of the darkness.
The next morning, at dawn, he scanned the surroundings with his sensors but the area still seemed deserted. He was starting to descend from his perch when he thought he heard a noise in the distance, he froze immediately and stopped breathing, hearing nothing but birds singing.
Then suddenly he heard voices, human voices! His helmet audio feed allowed him to spot a conversation more than 200 meters away, he ran towards the source as fast as he could and quickly arrived at a nearby road, but his experience with goblins made him wary, he hid in bushes and watched.
The first thing he saw was some horse-drawn carts in which men, women and children were piled, all tied up, they looked malnourished and dirty, with only thin scraps of clothing to cover themselves.

6 men surrounded them, in such a way as to encircle the carts. All of them were equipped with the same weapons and armor, namely a long sword and a round shield. All except one, wearing a long hooded robe and waving a long stick as his only weapon.
Before any rash action, he used [Analysis] on the soldiers, the strangely dressed man and the prisoners.
[Warriors of the Xis Empire lvl 8 to 12], [Mage of the Xis Empire lvl16], [Inhabitants of the Kingdom of Erma lvl1 to 5]
At that very moment no doubt remained in his mind anymore, the soldiers had raided the neighboring kingdom to kidnap slaves and were returning to their homeland.
He thought about his options, he could follow the soldiers to reach the Xin empire without creating a commotion or shoot them all and free the prisoners or even simply continue on his way. After all, he had nothing to do with this...
While he was thinking, the group passed by his position and he heard the guards talking to each other, unfortunately he didn't understand a word they were saying, apparently “automatic translation” was not included in the other world package.
He saw however one of the guards approaching a carriage and starting to speak, or rather shout to a young woman inside it.
She had short red hair and a tomboy look, rather cute with her blue eyes and freckles, her forms prevented any confusion about her sex despite her rather small breasts.
The guard grabbed her hair with one hand and began groping her chest with the other, a vicious smile on his face, the young woman protested violently and spat at his face with a disgusted look, he answered with an angry snarl and slapped her violently across the face.
She let out a high-pitched cry and slumped in the cart. The other soldiers just laughed stupidly.
The girl’s eyes hesitated between pride and a desire to melt into tears, she finally crawled into a ball hiding her face and busted lip in her arms.
That was it...
A cold rage grew inside the traveler, his decision was made.
What was the point of starting over in another world if he let things like that happen right in front of him ? This time, he had the power to act, he was not helpless anymore...

The Loyal Ones [Dark Biopunk Fantasy]
TLDR; A slave monster survives horror, war and servitude, while trying to live with himself. Thralls are a race of monstrous slave soldiers, in a universe where biological magic takes the place of technology. Centuries ago, their ancestors were desperate humans, who volunteered to be transformed for the Poison War. Today their unfortunate descendants are still soldiers and laborers. In contract law they are 'corporate wards'; slaves owned largely by arms dealers. Dally Harper starts this story as a champion cage fighter. He is one of the 'lucky' ones. It's all downhill from there. Content Warning: Explicit violence and gore, slavery, implied sexual assault. None of these are framed as positive or glorified, however they do have a strong impact on the plot and main characters.

Suddenly, they show in the progressing city of Yulin-dai to remind the world that they will never be forgotten.

The Mermaid's Shoal
Elfyn O Se has lived by the laws of the sea his whole life. He'd go by Elf to his friends if he had any left, but at least his crew are willing to work with him, and it's not because he accidently cursed them all.

He might have a chance to break the binds for himself and his crew, if he can pull it off. There's just one problem; a rival mermaid called Anwen. As mysterious as she is terrifying - and adamant that Elf can't win - she offers an alternative to break the curse if the crew can help her get home. The crew of the Ossory now finds themselves caught in an odyssey brimming with magic and monsters. Battling against champions of terrible adversaries, mysterious lights from the deep, and kleptomatic selkies who deal in blood, Elf is faced with a choice. Will he risk the future of his world to save his crews' souls, or condemn them all to protect the archipelago from certain calamity?
