(Less than a minute ago) A new skill has been acquired!]
Did it just... did I just... did another point...
Don't panic, let's just check what skill it is first.
[Skill: Analyze
Rank: Normal (Active)
Level: 1 Proficiency: 0%
Description:
When you analyze, relevant information will gather in your mind. Slight chance of regaining relevant knowledge you've forgotten about.]
Huh... this isn't that bad at least I know what it does. According to the site it's the most common skill, I haven't read that much about it so I should probably go back on the site to get more information...
*Growling*
But damnnnn I'm hungry, research can wait, let's eat. Back into the kitchen we go!
Let's seeeeeeee.... fruits and vegetables... *closes the fridge*
Yep, it's empty. Hmmmm... let's search for some actual food.
5 minutes later...
Fuck, all I have to eat are vegetables and fruits... and I can't go outside with a wounded leg when there are goblins there... I know, let's make use of my new skill and analyze the situation...

Alright, I give up. There's nothing I can do besides starving.

"Alright, I get it. You want me to eat!" - I said while punching myself in the stomach.
A new bruise appeared for no reason, why does this keep happening to me?
Anyways let's try making something edible, but how do I do something like that with these? I've got an idea - the [Analyze] skill can analyze objects. Let's analyze those vegetables and fruits, and see what I come up with!
A few minutes later...
I set some vegetables that looked edible on the table and this is what I got!
[Object: Potato
It can be baked, boiled or fried. Note: Requires peeling.]
Potato gets 10/1000 edibility points. For reference, a bag of chips is at 1000/1000.
[Object: Tomato
It can be sliced and put on sandwiches. Note: Only edible with salt on top.]
Tomato gets 0/1000 edibility points since I've got no bread.
[Object: Cucumber
Can be sliced and put on sandwiches]
Same as tomato, no points for you.
And that's it! What? I'm a picky eater, ok? I only eat food I see on commercials!
The only thing I can think of doing right now is horrible. I'm gonna.... I... I'm gonna eat a raw cucumber for now while boiling the potatoes!
Don't look at me like that! I need to eat something urgently and I'll have to wait for the potatoes! It's only logical that I eat something and I seriously don't like tomatoes without salt! I do have salt but without bread it'd be a waste...
And that's how I spent the past 15 minutes...
Now with a bowl of boiled potatoes I've decided to continue the research...
An hour later... alright apparently I've already been using the skill as it's intended. I couldn't find any solid information on it, besides the fact that the "slight chance of regaining relevant knowledge you've forgotten about" in this skill is really slight like about 0.01% unless it's leveled up. And how do you level up a skill? Well you're gonna have to hunt yourself a monster and get some EXP. From what I understand EXP can be either spent on leveling up yourself or your skills but we'll get to that when I actually go outside, which isn't likely to happen soon with my leg still injured.
Did I seriously spend an hour just to find that out? Well... yes? All the other information was either too vague to be useful or I had already figured it out by using the skill.
For the third skill I still have no idea what to do. According to the site, it's best to get one combat related skill by fighting a goblin but with my current situation I'd probably die. Not because my thigh is injured, it's because according to the sites measurements, a guy who only sat at his PC playing games for a few years is weaker than a goblin.
What should I do now? Let's focus on preparing for the outside world.
Let's start by analyzing all my current skills and useful objects in the house, I'll get back to you once I'm done.

4 hours, 3 bananas and 1 mental breakdown later, I got hungry so I ate some bananas ok?!
[Skill: Analyze
Proficiency: 100%]
Alright, what I came up with is in order to be ready for the outside world, what I need are muscles. Don't you dare think I came up with that after little thought, I actually used the internet and found out that muscles grow by regenerating after being broken or something like that, so that's why I figured the [Regeneration] skill will make working out faster! I'm a genius, aren't I? But that's not all. I've actually found some dumbbells in my parents' bedroom. It should be decent for training the muscles in my arms, and after my leg heals I can do squats and curl ups. You'll see what a guy who used to grind free to play MMORPGs can do!
