Sen De La

Amid Southeast Asia's geopolitical tensions, the shadows of old power rise once again. The Nine Dragons, a criminal syndicate deeply rooted since the New Order era, now move with greater ambition through their secret initiative: The Phoenix Project. This project is not merely an attempt to dominate the region’s economy and politics but a manifestation of an ancient cycle—a cycle of destruction and rebirth that has persisted for centuries.
As the first signs of collapse emerge—environmental disasters, political corruption, and escalating violence—an unlikely group of individuals realizes they must break the wheel of fate before it turns again. Sebastian, a time traveler burdened by the consequences of his every intervention, understands that the future will remain unchanged unless the core of the problem is uprooted. David, the conservationist bound by an ancestral curse, watches as the Phoenix Project threatens the delicate balance of nature he has dedicated his life to protecting. Thalia, gifted with mystical powers deeply rooted in Javanese traditions, begins to see visions of past and future horrors that reveal the Nine Dragons’ darkest secrets.
Yet, the greatest threat does not only come from outside—it lurks within. Bintang, who has long walked the line between darkness and light, must choose where he truly stands—will he remain a shadow maintaining the balance, or finally emerge as a key player in this war for power? Felix, a former enforcer of the Nine Dragons seeking redemption, is confronted by the past he cannot escape. Meanwhile, within the Nine Dragons, fractures begin to form: Wei Long (The Iron Fist) and his philosophy of ruthless control clash with Huang Jin (The Phoenix), who believes in complete annihilation before rebirth.
As the final battle approaches, the truth behind the Phoenix Project is unveiled: this is not just a political and economic scheme but a part of an even older cycle—a pattern that has repeated itself since ancient kingdo

The Rise of the Nine Dragons-Breaking the Cycle

The coalition’s convoy rolled through the abandoned docks, their headlights slicing through the thick coastal fog. The meeting point was set—a rusted-out container yard on the outskirts of Batam. It was supposed to be neutral ground. 


Mayang had brokered the deal, hoping to turn Huang Jin against the Nine Dragons. But Bintang’s warning echoed in her mind. 


And now, as the first shot rang out, she knew he had been right. 


Gunfire erupted from the shipping containers above, muzzle flashes lighting up the night. Shadows moved fast—figures in tactical gear, surrounding them like a pack of wolves closing in on prey. 


“Ambush! Cover!” Felix roared, shoving Kiran behind an overturned jeep. 


Rangga sprinted for cover, his enhanced reflexes barely keeping him ahead of the bullets tearing through the ground at his heels. He vaulted over a metal barricade, landing hard but alive.
