"How the hell did that happen? Never mind luck blessing," I say to myself. Standing there stunned at what just happened, I start to realize I'm hungry. Unfortunately I can't scald, or boiling the bird to loosen the feathers, which makes it easier to remove.
Getting to the tree, it looks like it's around 10 feet (~3 meters) thick. Thankfully it has a lot of rough bark, so there's plenty of handholds. Getting to the tree I start finding handholds, slowly making my way up the tree. Climbing up I almost slipped after which I stopped and thought if I could prevent it. This happened a few times until just as I was about to grab a branch my foot slipped from under me. My luck blessing saved me, because I was able to grab hold of the branch and not fall. Finding another foothold I pulled myself up onto the branch and sat for a moment.
-Climbing Lv.1 skill gained
Panting for a few moments I catch my breath and am just a few short feet away from the bird. I reach the next closest branch and I finally reach it and pull the spear out of the tree with the bird.
Now with the skill gained it's much easier to climb down the tree. Thankfully I make it down without any mishaps. Sitting down on the ground I start to pluck the bird, keeping an especially long and good looking blue quill feather. 'Thankfully I still remember cursive, I wonder how the auto-translate skill works. I guess I'll find out next time I write.' Finally I finish plucking the bird after about fifteen minutes.
Finding some tinder and some good wood, I spend the next hour experimenting how to start a fire. Finally successful I cut open the bird, with my sharp rock, gagging as I pull out the organs and throw them into the woods. Done with that I wait till the fire is small flames and embers and pierce the bird and cook it over the fire. Slowly the juices start to drip from the bird into the fire as small bursts of flame come from the fats. After thirty minutes the bird is done cooking and I start to eat the food, savoring every bite.
"Oh my god, I can't believe this tastes so good. Why does it taste so much better than unseasoned than anything I've ever tasted," I mutter to myself, moaning at the amazing taste. So satisfied some of the juices drip down my face, my blissful and content feeling not even caring.
-Cooking Lv.1 skill gained
"I wonder why that skill was so much easier to get than the others? Experience? I mean I guess I have experience cooking but not in the other two skills. I guess that makes sense," I mutter in thought.
"I guess what makes sense," behind me I hear a question from a baritone voice.
"****," scaring me out of my wits, I grab one of my spears and swing it at the man behind me.
"Well that's no way for a lady to speak," he says with slight amusement as he casually catches my spear.
"Well I don't give a damn, so leave before I put my spear up your ****ing ass," I say to him with hostility in my voice. Unfortunately my 4'10" (~150 cm) hight isn't very intimidating. "Now tell me why you snuck up on me or that won't just be a threat."
"Well you aren't exactly being conspicuous, your fire made a lot of smoke. Other than that though, I didn't sneak you were pretty absorbed in your meal," he said. Hearing his arrogant voice I inwardly sneer at him. What I see is a six foot (~182 cm) well built man with blonde hair, whose every action screamed hero complex. 'Analyze'

'Oh please no, please don't be a horny summoned hero,' I think dreading what he might say to me, and seeing the look in his eyes I think he will. 'Horny ***ing hero I don't want to be in your damn harem!'
"Before you even think about asking that question, that is clear in your eyes, the answer is no I'm not interested." Cutting off before he can ask I see slight disappointment in his eyes. I don't want to check two boxes for his harem, beast-kin and loli.
