I was Reincarnated in Another World with Absorb Skills

Chapter 3- Magic box

Dahan-dahan kong binuksan ang aking mga mata at isang nakakasilaw na liwanag ang bumungad sa akin, forcing my eyelids to flutter against the golden rays of the sun. I instinctively raised my hand to shield my face, letting my fingers filter the beams of sunlight. As my eyes adjusted, I slowly pushed myself up to a seated position, the soft grass brushing gently against my bare skin.

Where… am I?

All around me was a stretched vast, dreamy meadow. The grass was tall and soft, swaying with the warm summer breeze like a sea of green and gold. Wildflowers of every hue bloomed in carefree clusters—blues, violets, pinks, and whites—dancing with the butterflies that flitted around them like a living confetti. In the not-so-distant view, a serene lake sparkled beneath the clear sky, its glassy surface reflecting the puffy white clouds and endless blue.

It was breathtaking. Peaceful. As if I had stepped into a painting.

“So I was really reincarnated, huh,” I murmured aloud, half in awe, half in disbelief.

Saang lupalop kaya ng Earth itong lugar na 'to? It felt otherworldly. Parang hindi na ito ang mundong kilala ko.

I slowly stood up, and that's when I realized na nakahiga pala ako sa damuhan... completely naked.

Napahinto ako, napakurap-kurap pa. Wait, I'm naked!? I looked down at my body in shock. This wasn’t my old body. It lacked the familiar softness and roundness I once had. My new form was slender, well-proportioned, and surprisingly… elegant. Parang katawan ng isang dalaga. Model kung baga.

I bolted toward the nearby lake, heart pounding, and knelt beside it, leaning close to the water. The moment I saw my reflection, my breath caught in my throat.

A young woman stared back at me so much ethereal, almost unreal. Her face was small and heart-shaped, with smooth porcelain skin that gleamed under the sunlight like it was dusted with moonlight. Her lips were naturally red, like they had been kissed by roses and her nose was high-bridged and delicate. Long, feathery eyelashes framed her diamond-like eyes, which shimmered with a mysterious gleam— light silver with hints of lavender, like stardust trapped in crystal.

Then there was her hair, my hair, silky white strands cascading like a waterfall down to the grass, reaching beyond her waist and almost to the ground. The ends gently kissed the surface of the lake as I leaned over, causing soft ripples in the water.

“Wow… ako ba talaga 'to?” Bulong ko at inihawak ang kamay sa aking mukha na siyang ginaya din nang babaeng nasa tubig.

"So… it’s really me," I whispered again, this time with a smile slowly spreading across my lips. I looked like I was around seventeen. So young, so radiant, like a noble girl out of a fantasy novel.

“Thank you, Goddess Lisha…” I said with quiet reverence, bowing my head slightly. Gratitude filled my chest, warm and overwhelming.

But then a gust of wind swept past, making me shiver.

Even though the air felt warm, it still tickled cold as it brushed against my bare skin. Mabilis kong niyakap ang aking hubad na katawan at nagumpisa ng mag-panic.

“Wala nga pala akong damit!” Hindi makapaniwala at parang nahihiya pang sabi ko.

I looked around desperately, hoping no one or nothing was watching. Thankfully, I was alone. The meadow was vast and silent except for the occasional chirp of birds and the hum of the breeze.
