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 Rise of the Nine Dragons – Shadows Over Southeast Asia

Outside, the earth quivered as the aftermath of Mayang’s gamble began to unfold. The train had been diverted, but the damage had been done. The Nine Dragons had made their move, and now the team was forced to make theirs. Every second that passed felt like an eternity as they regrouped in the heart of the station, facing the oncoming storm—and the wrath of the Nine Dragons. 


As the team approached their objectives, they encountered Shen Ai, the Black Lotus. Unlike his predecessor Wei Long, Shen Ai was more methodical, a master of psychological warfare. He had anticipated their arrival and prepared accordingly. 


“Welcome,” Shen Ai’s voice echoed over the station’s intercom. “You’ve made it this far, but the game has just begun.” 


Suddenly, the lights dimmed, and a series of holographic projections appeared, displaying the team’s every move. 


“He’s using the system against us,” Clarissa muttered. 


Eka’s fingers flew over her tablet. “I can shut him out, but it’ll take time.” 


The wrath of the Nine Dragons.
