《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.

“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.

It is in that dangerous concoction of emotions that the god of monsters created the first dungeon core. Forged in a crucible of dedication and desire, the first core held potential, the likes of which could surpass even the civilised mortal races. Unfortunately it was not meant to be, the core was lost in a tragic accident and its creator thought it to have been destroyed. Over one-thousand years later, the core reformed inside an extinct volcano. In time it would grow enough to learn and learn enough to grow. This is the story of the first dungeon core. Crucible, the lost dungeon core. Note: Story updates every hiatus*. *I appologise for the delay.

8 424Out of the Motherland
Russia, 1941. Operation Barbarossa. Winter has set in and the German advance is stalling before Moscow. Temperatures are dropping as the promised end to the Russian invasion has not arrived. The winter is the coldest of the century, and German troops are freezing as they push themselves through the snow towards the enemy. Meanwhile, dissent stirs among the German ranks and on their home front. Karl Tesdorpf, a captain in the 30. Infanterie-Division, is caught between his family and the Schutzstaffel - he escapes, but becomes a fugitive among his own allies. Russia, 1941. Western Front. The Soviet frontlines have been overrun again and again. Their great people are completely on the defensive. While reserves are brought in to stem the German forces, the troops on the front line are left with limited supplies and support. Whole Soviet armies are wiped out as they are surrounded and cut off, and for the troops on the ground and in the air victories are few and far between. Amid this chaos, his rifle division reduced to a tenth of their size by enemy armour, Oryl Denikin walks away from the conflict. He heads home, into German-occupied territory, but he is soon to find that his motherland is no longer the place he knew and lived. As both sides funnel their resources into the second great war in a generation, trying to force the other to break first, millions upon millions of men are caught in the middle. This is the tale of just two of them. Dedicated to Gerhard, of #55 - the reason this story exists.
