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.

The safe house has barely had time to settle, and already, the team is under attack again. The Nine Dragons, furious over their failed attempts to control the narrative, have sent more muscle to shut down the operation—this time, they’ve sent Qing Zhao, the ruthless enforcer and master of pressure point fighting, to silence them. The pressure is mounting, but the team is ready to face the storm head-on. 


The room is calm for a moment—just long enough for the team to regroup after the last fight. Felix wipes blood from his hands, and Eka types furiously, ensuring the data they’ve collected is protected. But that calm doesn’t last. A sharp, high-pitched sound splits the air—a piercing, metallic whistle, followed by the hum of something descending. 


Felix, his instincts on high alert, spins around. 


Kiran, quick to respond, grabs a pistol and moves toward the door. 


"Prepare for contact. This won’t be a simple raid—they’ve got Qing Zhao with them."
