The golden rays of dawn spilled over the horizon, casting a gentle glow across an untouched stretch of beach. The sky above was a canvas of soft lavender and peach, streaked with the last whispers of night. Waves rolled in from the endless blue, their foamy edges brushing the sand with a soothing, rhythmic hush, like nature's lullaby echoing into the morning.
A cool breeze danced along the shoreline, carrying the scent of salt and fresh earth, weaving through the palms that swayed like silent sentinels. Here and there, seashells shimmered in the early light, scattered across the sand like pieces of fallen stardust. Seagulls cried overhead, diving through the open air, enjoying their fishy breakfast with loud, greedy satisfaction.
Amidst this quiet paradise, a striking figure lay still on the beach. An incredibly beautiful girl could be seen resting beneath the pastel sky; a soft blue beret sat gently on her head, and her clothes fluttered as the breeze passed over her. Her golden hair spilled out like sunlight across the sand, catching the light with every small movement.
Waves could be heard sliding along the shore, and the seagulls—now momentarily full—circled lazily above, their wings catching the wind.
"Uh… where am I?"
A seemingly out-of-place voice broke the calm, disrupting the serenity with its suddenness. It was high-pitched and incredibly beautiful, a sound so melodic that the seagulls dropped their breakfast and turned, stunned, to stare at the girl who had spoken.
(•Answer: The host is currently on an unknown island.•)
"What was that... GREAT SAGE, REINCARNATION? Oh yeah, I reincarnated, which means…"
The girl suddenly shouted, stood up, and walked toward the ocean. She stared at her reflection in the water, eyes wide with awe.
"Wow... I'm stunning."
She touched her face, then glanced at her delicate, flawless hands—skin unmarred, ethereal, as if carved from moonlight.
With a dazzling smile, she said, "Great Sage, it's nice to have you as a partner. Can you pull up my system? If I'm going to be in this new world, then I better get to know my new abilities."
(°Confirming host's request to bring up system status... Initiating Great Multiverse Musician Cultivation System°)
A blue glowing panel appeared in front of the girl; she looked down and began to read.

After reading the glowing panel from top to bottom, Lyra stood there with sparkling eyes and a mind full of questions. But before anything else, the system had reminded her that she still lacked something important—an identity.
With a soft smile, she whispered toward the ocean, her reflection shimmering in the gentle waves.
"Honoring my favorite constellation—one shaped like a harp—I've decided my first name will be Lyra, and my last name… Celestine."
The moment the words left her lips, she felt something shift deep within her. A gentle warmth spread through her body, as if invisible shackles had been released. Her soul and body aligned, and for the first time since awakening, she truly felt whole.
With that settled, Lyra turned her attention back to the system, her curiosity fully ignited. She needed to understand how it worked—after all, this would be her greatest tool in becoming what she always dreamed of: the most renowned musician in all the worlds.
"Great Sage," she began, "what exactly can this system do?"
(•Answering host: The system has three core functions:
1. Shop – Allows you to purchase composition scores from your past life. Note: to perform any score, your instrumental proficiency must meet its requirements.
2. Gacha – Use fame points to perform a randomized draw. Potential rewards include items, skills, or proficiency boosts.
3. Status – Displays your current personal stats, including skills, compositions, and inventory. •)
"Okay, classic system setup. Nothing too crazy... Great Sage, I noticed I've got a newbie gift pack. Can we open it? I'm expecting some legendary, game-breaking stuff in there."
She could barely contain her excitement. Every reincarnation story worth its salt had some kind of overpowered starter pack.
(•Opening Newbie Gift Pack…

Lyra stared at the air in front of her, utterly unimpressed.
"Hey, Great Sage. Where are my god-level skills, huh? Or at least a mythical-tier composition? What the hell is 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'?!"
Her face crumpled as all hope drained from her soul, and she collapsed dramatically onto the sand, arms sprawled like a defeated crab.
(•Host… sigh. Would you like to view the items' descriptions or shall I dispose of them?•)
Like a switch had flipped, Lyra bolted upright, clasping her hands in mock reverence.
"No, no! Please calm down, Sir Great Sage! There's no need to be rash. I was... simply overwhelmed by your generosity. Yes. That's it. Please, show me the item info."
(•…Why do I feel like you have a lot of experience groveling, host... Very well. Here are the item descriptions:

Lyra rubbed her eyes, completely stunned. What kind of magical nonsense is this?
She wanted to become the greatest musician—not a star-summoning, soul-channeling demigod. And yet…
Was she complaining? Not even a little.
"The more overpowered, the better," she grinned, leaping up. "If my music can cause miracles, then fame will come easily!"
Still smiling, she summoned the Mirage Conductor Baton from her inventory. The item appeared in her hand with a gentle shimmer. It looked simple at first glance—a short wooden stick—but upon closer inspection, the handle and tip bore an intricate floral design. It radiated elegance and mystery, perfectly matching her new identity.
"With this," she said, holding it aloft, "I don't have to worry about not having enough hands. I really am a one-man orchestra!"
Lyra laughed as she twirled the baton in one hand, skipping joyfully along the shore. The future sparkled with possibility, and the world of One Piece lay open before her like an unwritten score.
But her celebration came to a screeching halt as a deafening explosion rocked the horizon.
