Black should clearly just play 2...cxd5 and be very slightly better. Black's moves here transpose into the Benoni Defense. Your moves are mostly normal but why e3? Just play e4.

I'll assume you're speaking as black since if you played this as white... black will just take and you won't get to push d5.

error number 1) this is a benoni transposition, it's not a new opening.

error number 2) you won't get past move 6 regardless of which side you're playing, since neither e3 or e6 get played in this position.

Any opening worth playing has already been invented/discovered/created/developed (insert whatever verb you'd like). If you find yourself saying "I invented a new opening", you're either wrong (it's already been "invented") or it's a bad opening (don't play it). This isn't intended to sound harsh - I'm trying to encourage being realistic and not wasting time on nonsense.

That's mostly true but there are rarely some exceptions. And some lines, while they have been played before, are very rarely played but still are very good / have been too neglected.

Oh well. At least i tried.
