Sen De La

Under the protection of the Nine Dragons, corrupt officials, greedy corporations, and powerful criminal networks thrived. The Stars and their allies must navigate a world dominated by the Syndicate, where every move against them feels like it's made under the ever-watchful eye of the dragon.
Yet behind the Syndicate’s seemingly impenetrable power, cracks begin to form. Internal power struggles have been settled, and a new generation of successors has risen. But the world is not prepared for what comes next.
As rebellion brews quietly beneath the shadows, a hidden card is played—the ACE of Spades—a covert operation that unknowingly sets the foundation for The Phoenix Project, a global agenda that seeks to burn down the old world and rise anew from its ashes.
The new successors of the Nine Dragons are not just inheritors of legacy; they are architects of chaos. With the precision of visionaries and the ruthlessness of warlords, they manipulate economies, disrupt ecosystems, and infiltrate governments. Their ambitions no longer stop at Southeast Asia—they aim to shape the very future of humanity.
Beneath the dragon’s wing, the world appears calm. But the Stars know better:
This is not the end of the old order.
It is the beginning of something far more dangerous.

The Rise of the Nine Dragons - Under the Dragon's Wings

The command center was a carcass of its former glory. 


Darkened monitors lined the walls like sightless eyes, their screens spiderwebbed with fractures that caught the flicker of dying emergency lights. Severed cables snaked across the floor, some still sparking at the frayed ends like venomous serpents frozen mid-strike. Acrid smoke clung to the air—burnt insulation, old wiring, and sweat. The stench of collapse. 


Luo Jian slumped in his chair like a dethroned monarch, the leather creaking beneath his weight as he leaned forward. His fingers traced the jagged edge of a shattered monitor, each movement slow and deliberate. His eyes—bloodshot, sunken, wild—met their fractured reflection in the screen. Ten versions of himself stared back, each splinter a different truth: the cold-eyed tactician who once controlled Jakarta’s surveillance grid; the tyrant who silenced uprisings with the tap of a key; the ghost of a man whispering secrets to machines no longer listening.
