BLOOD OF BORNEO
PREMISE
Damang, a former special forces operative (Military Scholar) who returns to his village in the interior of Kalimantan, finds his homeland beginning to "sicken." A multinational corporation called The Andalusian Order has arrived under the guise of a green energy project. However, Damang smells blood.
Led by Elias Thorne, a charismatic occultist who possesses telekinetic powers and the ability to manipulate blood, the sect is actually searching for the "Heart of the Earth"—the largest spiritual energy point in Kalimantan—to awaken a dark entity from the ancient Andalusian era that they worship.
The sect did not come empty-handed. They brought The Paladins, a mercenary force modified with dark magic, making them bulletproof and granting them abnormal speed.
When his father (the Tribal Chief) is brutally slaughtered before his eyes using a magical ritual, Damang realizes that his assault rifle is not enough. Guided by the spirit of the Panglima Burung through blood-soaked dreams, Damang must undergo a forbidden ritual to awaken the Flying Mandau and master high-level invulnerability.
A great war erupts:
Machine guns vs. poison blowdarts that hunt their targets.
European blood magic vs. the ancestral spirit powers of the Dayak.
Damang must hunt down the sect members one by one within a jungle that can transform into a deadly labyrinth, before Elias Thorne completes the eclipse ritual that will plunge Kalimantan into eternal darkness.

Chapter: Chapter 96: The Broken Fang
"Shut down that transmission, Jaka. Now!"Liling’s voice was raspy, sounding more like sandpaper against dry wood than the command of a commander. He tried to rise, but his own body weight felt as if it were being pulled by gravity five times stronger than usual. He collapsed back onto the mound of silver ash the remains of his decaying cosmic armor."I can't, Liling! That submarine bastard has locked the decree frequency from the Lazarus protocol. Its network is piggybacking on the ocean’s low-frequency sonar!" Jaka cursed. His shattered right eye lens emitted small blue sparks, while his mechanical hand pounded against his neck intercom panel, which continued to buzz hoarsely."How much time do we have before that underwater nuclear reactor is detonated?" Commander Bara stepped closer, his wrinkled face appearing even darker, stained by the soot of the cosmic storm."Twenty-four hours, Old Man. Or to be precise, twenty-three hours and fifty-eight minutes from now," Jaka replied. He

Chapter: Chapter 95: Earth's Sovereignty
"Fire! Do it now, you space-faring bastards!" Liling roared, her voice raspy, cutting through the roar of the storm churning above the skies of Long Baram."The antimatter beam from the upper orbit and the annihilation wave from The First Weavers are going to collide right above our heads, Commander! We have less than ten seconds!" Jaka howled through the remaining intercom frequency, his voice fractured by electrical distortion. His cybernetic body, now inside the cockpit of the Baram Wing, projected grim tactical data. Two pillars of mass-destruction light, one obsidian red from the human traitor fleet, one purple-gold from the higher-dimensional creators streaked from opposite directions, ready to reduce Kalimantan to ash."Liling, what are you doing?! Pull out your mandau!" shouted Commander Bara from the edge of the ravine, his blood-soaked hands trembling violently as he watched Liling flip her Silver Star Mandau with both hands, pointing it straight down, directly toward the ce

Chapter: Chapter Title 94
"Cut the connection, Isabella! Now!"Liling's voice thundered, severing the quantum data stream that was flaying her consciousness. On the floor of the Sky Emerald Flower, her silver body tensed, emitting emerald green electrical sparks that tore through the mechanical Dyson-Parasite cables embedded in her spine."Liling! If you release this anchor now, the station will lose control of the sun! Earth could freeze over again!" Isabella screamed from within the core network, her voice distorted by intense panic."Earth won't freeze because of the sun, Isabella! Earth will be destroyed because its very soil is about to be ripped out!" Liling roared, her cosmic metal-clad hand gripping the Silver Star Mandau. "Jaka! Can you pilot this wreck without me?!""Go, Commander..." Jaka replied, his cybernetic body creaking as he crawled to the main server console, dragging his melting leg. His eye lenses flickered red. "Let me hold this last dawn above the moon. Bring Baram's Wings home. The chil

Chapter: Chapter 93: Guests from the Void’s Depths
"Jaka! Your system... how are you active again?!"Liling’s voice trembled within the internal frequency network of the Sky Emerald Flower station. Her consciousness, which had just merged with the quantum reactor, detected a familiar electrical pulse creeping from the corner of the ruined room.On the mangled titanium floor, Jaka’s cybernetic body, which had been stiff and smoking, slowly straightened. His shattered right eye lens flickered erratically, emitting an emerald-green glow no longer the binary blue of the Sovereignty. The cosmic silver energy Liling had released earlier had apparently forcibly jump-started the old technician’s core circuits, burning away the remnants of his mechanical limitations and replacing them with primordial life force."Don't ask... how I... woke up, Commander," Jaka replied in a raspy mechanical voice, broken by static distortion. His robotic body creaked loudly as he forced himself to stand. "Ask this station’s radar system... why space-time in the

Chapter: Chapter 92: The Interstellar Silver Bridge
"Liling! Don't let your consciousness fade! Hold on! Hold on for three more seconds!"Isabella crawled across the metal floor, which was cooling from the thermal sterilization. The network of cables behind her head had snapped, leaving behind circular burns that oozed clear lymph fluid. Her eyes widened in horror as she watched her best friend’s body begin to be enveloped by a web of black Dyson-Parasite cables, resembling the veins of a starving, ancient beast."The signal... the Exodus Colony Fleet... they’re already here, Isabella," Liling whispered. Her voice was no longer just the vibration of vocal cords, but a radio frequency modulation booming through the control room speakers. Her silvery eyes now emitted racing red binary code, reflecting the shadows of hundreds of red dots closing in behind the station’s cracked glass."To hell with that fleet! If you don't lock your anchors now, the Sovereignty’s automated purge program will wipe your brain before they even fire their firs

Chapter: Chapter 91: The Companion's Choice
"Stand down, Commander Liling. Or this blade will finish what The Hollows failed to do."The voice emerged from Isabella’s lips. It was flat, cold, and entirely devoid of the human warmth that Liling once knew beneath the lush canopy of the Long Baram forest. The laser dagger in Isabella’s right hand hissed constantly, casting an orange glow that cut through the ice fog and quantum coolant vapor between them.Liling did not back down. Her body floated statically in the leaking vacuum, supported by the remnants of the Emerald Tattoo crystal roots that gripped the titanium floor beneath her."Isabella... how are you here?" Liling whispered, her voice raspy, trembling through the dying frequency of her neck intercom. "You... you were the Sovereignty’s hostage. We searched every corner of the earth's crust for you!""A hostage?" Isabella smiled faintly, an artificial expression forced by the strands of bio-electric cables plugged directly into the nerve endings behind her ears. "There are
