Sen De La

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.

Kiran’s Apartment–Late Night - is dimly lit, papers spread across the floor as he speaks into his laptop camera. On the other side, Clarissa, her face illuminated by the screen’s glow, listens intently from Singapore. 


Kiran speaking low. "I’ve got a name—Dato' Rahman. He’s playing the same game as Sibegis but from the Malaysian side. They’re both knee-deep in the IKN project, and the Nine Dragons are behind it all." 


Clarissa leans forward, her brows furrowed. "Rahman? That makes sense. He’s been championing Malaysian investments in the IKN for years. But I didn’t think he’d get involved this deep." 


Kiran grimly. "It’s not just Indonesia anymore. The IKN is turning into a power triangle between Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia. Everyone wants a piece of this future capital—Rahman, Sibegis, the Nine Dragons. We need to act fast before this spirals out of control."
