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

Felix had spent years as one of the Nine Dragons’ most feared enforcers. His hands, once steeped in violence and destruction, now trembled with guilt. He had left that life behind—or so he had convinced himself. Yet here he was, sitting alone in a rundown bar on the outskirts of the city, nursing a drink to drown the memories. His demons were never far behind, and tonight, they felt closer than ever. 


The bar was nearly empty, save for a few regulars slumped over their drinks. Felix liked it that way—quiet, unassuming, a place where no one asked questions. The dim light above his table flickered erratically, casting shadows that danced like ghosts on the peeling walls. 


When Clarissa walked in, Felix knew his fragile peace was over. Her sharp silhouette against the doorway cut through the haze of alcohol and cigarette smoke. She moved with purpose, her heels clicking softly on the worn wooden floor as she approached him.
