《The New Era Project》Chapter 1: Crossing Over
Advertisement
A state of paralysis envelops Feng Ye.
Darkness and nihility span across the void in all directions.
Endless darkness.
A single thought appears in the youth’s mind, “Am I dead?” As he slowly feels lightheaded and is about to faint, a cold systematic voice resounds in his mind.
System: “Congratulations to the host. System Binding Successful! Instability of space detected- transporting host to a stable space.”
Feng Ye awakens and quickly realizes that he has regained the ability to move. With a startled jump, he starts sizing up the environment only to be welcomed by four shabby wooden walls, a worn down wooden desk, office chair and a bed. A curtain blocks a single window in the room which faces away from where the desk and office chair are located.
Feng Ye starts yelling in his mind, “WHAT THE FFF!?”
“Where am I? Shouldn’t I be dead? Wtf?” Thoughts of uncertainty, alarm and of fear well up in Feng Ye’s mind as memories of the darkness and nihility send a chill up his spine. As he takes a moment to think of his present situation, Feng Ye is relieved that he did not express his shock vocally in this unknown environment.
He takes a seat on the office chair and recalls what had just occurred. Feng Ye was walking to the bus stop to go home when suddenly, a crack in the space in front of him appears and slowly expands like the hatching of a chicken out of an egg. A powerful force of attraction immediately pulls him into the dark crevice. Before Feng Ye could calm down, he was surrounded by darkness and nihility only to faint.
This leads to the present situation. “Is this crossing over in legend? At least I have a system so I still have a chance.”

“System, what’s going on?” Feng Ye inquires in his mind.
A screen appears in his mind, titled Main Menu with four options. System Status, Host Status, Store and Settings with the last two options non interactable.

Feng Ye, in his mind, selects the System Status option first and is greeted with a new screen.

His expression becomes a startled one. “View System Logs.”

*sigh
“I really am a lucky one to be able to coincidentally be able to bind to the system. I would have had to pass away in that gloomy place.” Unfortunately, from the System Log the system is in a state of energy recovery which has restricted its non-core features. In 8 days, he would be able to use the rest of the features.
Feng Ye then recalls the Main Menu and selects the only other available option, Host Status.

Looking at the attributes in his mind, only a single thought appears, “Mediocre”
Feng Ye is an athletic individual who spends a lot of time as a competitive swimmer in his high school years. Although, as a university student, he no longer has time to be apart of the competitive scene, he still has not neglected the sport. Due to his athletic background, Feng Ye has strength and vitality of 10 points.

Unfortunately, as an asian he is only 5’8 and is not as tall as others which would explain his speed being a mere 5 points. At least he isn’t classified as an idiot with 15 intelligence..
As a light novel and anime enthusiast, Feng Ye has also read his fair share of reincarnation and transmigration novels. “Abilities….. I wonder what kind of gift the system will give a beginner such as me.”
Feng Ye immediately displays a solemn look and kneels down in the worn down room.
“RNG-sama, please give me a good ability!!!”
“System Open Inventory.”
System: 1 X Gift Parcel detected. Has host determined to open?
“Open!”
System:
1 X Backpack
1 X Set of 20 Skill Points
1 X Random Ability
1 X Laser Pointer
“Okay, the items seem pretty standard. At least these items are reasonable. No complaints.”
Feng Ye immediately opens the backpack only to discover it is his original backpack that he was wearing before crossing over. All the familiar contents help relieve his startled mind. He still has his wallet, cell phone, notes, and stationary materials. Although the cell phone has no signal, the normal features still work.
Feng Ye immediately starts to allocate the skill points.
“Right now, I am a pitiful weak existence. I should add 10 points to STR, 5 to SPD and 5 to INT. By raising INT, it should help my mind sharpen considerably which can help me make more effective allocations in the future.”
Feng Ye, after allocating the skill points, immediately uses the Random Ability item. An uncontrollable pressure arises from within his mind for several seconds.
System: Congratulations to the host. Host has obtained ability- Hidden Wanderer.
When the feeling leaves him, Feng Ye opens his attribute panel again.

Upgrading this skill permits host to disguise as individuals who are stronger than the everyday individual. Next upgrade requires 5 AP.
Host Inventory
“Hidden Wanderer is a pretty decent skill. As I am pretty much alone in this world with no information, it will make information gathering easier. Unfortunately, I didn’t draw out some earth shattering ability like sharingan from Naruto, or vector manipulation from A Certain Magical Index. Feelsbadman.”
After peering through the curtains and taking a brief look outside. Feng Ye was shocked. It seems to be dark outside. A brief glance at his phone indicates that the current time is 1:32 AM. Besides the darkened sky, a brightly lit city demonstrates its magnificence. From his room, Feng Ye noticed that he is in the suburbs of the city. Such a city made Feng Ye think as though he had travelled into the future. Shiny towers reflecting office lights are even distributed throughout the city. Fast subways of transportation zoom throughout the metropolis. Screens reflecting the weather conditions flicker throughout.
“Wow….”
With his worldview broadened, Feng Ye decides to properly explore the next day. After a night of rest, his first step into the new world begins.
Opening the door of his room, a new journey awaits in front of him. Little did Feng Ye know that the beginning of a New Era is about to begin.

8 147FERMI PARADOX
“Dead? Am I dead? Is this heaven or hell? Where am I right now?” I muttered to myself. When I was confused about the phenomenon happening right now, suddenly I heard someone calling me from behind my shoulders by saying “Dewa Candra Kumara, Dewa Candra Kumara it is great that you are finally here!”

**for Quravin** It's the summer of 2010, and Evan Barker's older brother Jason has just committed suicide. His devastated parents are reeling from the Recession, his friends are shiftless drunks, and his younger sister has been committed after discovering Jason's body. In an attempt to assuage the trauma his family has experienced and break away from his own shitty existence, Evan decides to grab his portion of the modern American Dream by trying out for that year's American Idol auditions in Nashville. Never mind that Evan's a 21-year-old virgin with a self-image as poor as his social skills. Never mind that he's never even attempted to sing before. In 21st century America, anything is possible, or so Evan's been told by a cultural upbringing of "Follow your dreams" and "Everyone is special" and "True love awaits". Speaking of true love, Evan asks Lily Trent to accompany him on the journey. Lily is a childhood acquaintance with whom he's recently reconnected and developed a crush on. Lately Lily's been working as a stripper, a cynical and jaded young woman who may or may not have her own motivations for joining Evan on the trip. Evan hopes the time alone will spark reciprocal affections in Lily, and an improbable come-from-nowhere triumph on national TV will not only free his family from their blue collar burdens, but win him the respect and love he craves-- not just from others, but from himself. Together, Evan and Lily discover why learning how to fail may be their generation's greatest lesson. Cover art by Gerry Siorek
