The Rise of the Nine Dragons – Shadows Over Southeast Asia is an epic tale of a group of individuals facing the looming threat of a powerful organized crime syndicate, the Nine Dragons Syndicate, which holds a tight grip over the economy and politics of Southeast Asia. The story follows the journey of Bintang, a former journalist, and Sebastian, a time traveler, as they confront the cunning tactics and dark forces led by influential figures like Tian Hao and Yun Feng. 
Set against the vibrant backdrop of Jakarta and Indonesia's new capital (IKN), the core conflict revolves around political ambition, environmental crises, and economic manipulation. The tension arises as personal political agendas clash with the greater good, forcing Bintang and his team—comprising a former hacker, a diplomat, an environmental activist, and a conservation officer—to battle not just for justice but for the future of their land. Together, they face an enemy that wields not only power and wealth but also the ability to disrupt the natural balance.
At the same time, we have Heru, a character-driven by revenge and the pursuit of scientific advancements. His motivations create a tension-filled dynamic within the narrative, adding depth to the ongoing conflict between Bintang's team and the Nine Dragons.

To fully understand her role, Mayang agrees to undergo a sacred ritual. Through the ritual, she will connect with the Bajakah’s spirit and commune with the forest itself. Surrounded by thick incense smoke and the soft, rhythmic beat of drums, Mayang sits cross-legged near the sacred fire. The elders chant, invoking the spirits of the forest. The air seems to thrum with energy as Mayang is pulled into a trance-like state. 


In her vision, she finds herself in a primeval forest, untouched and vibrant. Towering trees encircle her, their leaves shimmering as if bathed in ethereal light. At the center stands the Bajakah, glowing with a soft, golden aura. Its roots pulse with energy, extending deep into the earth. 


Bajakah Spirit whispering. “We are the guardians of the land. The balance must be preserved. Protect us, and we will heal.”
