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

Back in Jakarta, the atmosphere was thick with tension. The city, once bustling with the usual energy of commerce and life, now hummed with a low, restless fear. The protests had begun. People were angry and desperate for answers. The government was failing, and rumors of Phoenix were starting to leak. 


David stood with Clarissa, their eyes scanning the chaotic streets from a high vantage point. A distant fire burned in the heart of the city, smoke rising to cloud the sky. It felt like everything was unraveling—and it wasn’t just the Nine Dragons causing the destruction. The people, in their desperation, were starting to turn on each other. 


Clarissa’s voice was steady, but there was an edge of concern. “We need to act. The more we wait, the harder it will be to control the narrative.” 


David nodded, but his mind was elsewhere. He thought of the Dragon Crown, the power it held, and the burden it placed on him. Could he use it to stop Phoenix? Or would it consume him entirely?
