Darman Sanjaya Notowongso, a formidable martial artist from the Land of the Dayak, enters the Dragon God Academy—an institution that is part of Ophis's history. The Dragon God Academy was founded by Yui Fujita and subsequently bequeathed to Ophis.
For five centuries, hidden deep within the spiritual meridians of ancient Javanese valleys, the legendary king and sage Prabu Aji Saka underwent rigorous cultivation to attain immortality. He sought to transcend mortal shackles and reclaim absolute sovereignty over the ever-shifting landscape of the Nusantara Archipelago. However, the spiritual density of the modern era had waned, stifled by overlapping dimensions and the lingering ashes of an ancient cosmic war.
Despite possessing profound wisdom and mastery over ancient scripts, Aji Saka encountered an insurmountable obstacle: he could only reach the Golden Core Stage (*Jindan*).
AJI SAKA'S CULTIVATION PROFILE
Current Realm: Golden Core Stage (*Jindan*) | | Status: Stagnant (500 Years of Isolation) | | Shortcoming: Insufficient spiritual weight to rule Nusantara | | Next Objective: Transfer to Kuoh Academy for Advanced Metaphysics | +=======================================================================+
In the current power structure of the Alpha World—where gods, devils, and advanced reincarnates roam freely—a Golden Core alone is insufficient to command supreme authority. Recognizing his limitations, Aji Saka opened his eyes after centuries of meditation. To overcome this bottleneck, he had to return to the source of his foundational knowledge. He packed his belongings and set his sights on the modern city of Kuoh, Japan.
There, Ophis—the Infinite Dragon God—currently serves as a High Professor. Nearly fourteen centuries had passed since Aji Saka first studied under her guidance at the Nusantara Dragon God University—an ancient southern branch established by Ophis in the Indonesian archipelago during the golden age of early kingdoms.
The Nusantara Dragon God University was no modern structure; it was a living historical monument built upon ancient soil. Originally founded by the absolute Dragon Mother, Yui Fujita, this sanctuary was directly interwoven with the volcanic ley lines of Java and Sumatra to harvest the Earth's raw elemental energy. When Yui ascended to the deeper strata of the Alpha Continent, she bequeathed the entire institutional legacy to her youngest daughter, Ophis.
For generations, this southern branch—hidden deep within dense tropical rainforests—served as a premier training ground for Southeast Asia's spiritual elite. It was a place where local mysticism blended seamlessly with high-level dragon magic, ensuring that the archipelago's supernatural entities remained disciplined and concealed from the eyes of ordinary humans.
III. The Arrival of the Dayak Pioneer: Darman Sanjaya Notowongso
As Aji Saka prepared to depart for Kuoh, a new force arrived at the iron gates of the Nusantara Dragon God University. Emerging from the mists of the Kalimantan wilderness was Darman Sanjaya Notowongso, a legendary champion and powerful mystic from the Land of the Dayak. Endowed with ancestral protection from forest spirits and bearing a raw, wild spiritual mark, Darman harbored a profound secret.
[SOUTHERN BRANCH GATE] =========== [Aji Saka: Golden Core] ＜---＞ [Darman Sanjaya: Dayak Mystic] (Departing for Kuoh) (Entering the Academy Grounds)
In this overlapping timeline, Darman Sanjaya Notowongso was the chosen physical vessel for the soul of Uchiha Darman. As he stepped into the historic Ophis Academy, the Uchiha lineage dormant within his soul reacted violently to the rich draconic aura permeating the campus. The deep crimson patterns of his Sharingan flared briefly beneath his traditional Dayak talisman, sensing the ancient arrays carved into the stone by Yui Fujita herself.
Darman Sanjaya Notowongso sought to fully unlock the dual potential of his heritage—merging the lethal, reality-altering ocular jutsu of his past Uchiha incarnation with the pure, nature-attuned spiritual arts of his Dayak ancestors.
In the central pavilion of the historic university, the departing ancient sage and the newly arrived Uchiha reincarnation crossed paths. Aji Saka, clad in serene traditional robes, paused to gaze at the young warrior from Borneo. His Golden Core resonated faintly with the intense, lethal pressure radiating from Darman's soul.
"The winds from the East carry the scent of ash and burning red eyes, young warrior," Aji Saka said softly, leaning on his staff. "You enter this sanctuary just as I depart it. Seek the inner chambers constructed by Yui Fujita; only there can your foreign fire find balance with the soil of this land."
Darman Sanjaya turned back, his gaze steady as his hand rested upon the hilt of his enchanted blade. "The world is changing, Elder. The rift in Kuoh is widening, and the seal
The ancient gods are growing weaker. If you are looking for Professor Ophis, tell her that the Nusantara Guard has claimed her legacy. "We shall hold the southern gate."
With a respectful nod acknowledging their mutual regard, the two great powers of the Archipelago parted ways. Aji Saka vanished into a streak of golden light, journeying across the ocean toward the supernatural hub of Kuoh, while Darman Uchiha strode firmly into the hall of the Dragon God University, ready to rewrite the archipelago's destiny with his own hands.
A Meeting at the Threshold
The golden spiritual aura of Prabu Aji Saka's Golden Core stage clashed violently with the deep crimson shadow of Darman Sanjaya Notowongso's Mangekyo Sharingan within the central pavilion of the Dragon God University of Nusantara. The air grew hot, thick with the scent of ozone, ancient parchment, and the deep, damp moss of the Bornean wilderness. This was no mere changing of the guard between eras; it was the precise moment a fierce, centuries-long rivalry was born.
They did not face one another over territorial disputes or ancient political grudges. Their gazes were fixed upon a unique and mesmerizing figure standing atop the university's grand staircase: Eka Puteri Maharani.
[Eka Puteri Maharani] (Incarnation of Kadita / Ruler of the Oceans) / \ / \ [Prabu Aji Saka] ＜---＞ [Darman Sanjaya] (Golden Core Sage) (Rivalry) (Uchiha Reincarnation)
Eka Puteri was no ordinary student from the elite class. She was the pure physical embodiment of Kadita, the Queen of the South Sea (Nyai Roro Kidul). Her presence exuded the terrifying pressure of the Indian Ocean's depths, and her hair cascaded like dark liquid silk, adorned with emeralds gifted to her by the Fujita Clan. Winning her favor meant securing the ultimate spiritual alliance within the terrestrial sector of the Alpha World.
Aji Saka stepped forward, his traditional royal attire rustling as his Golden Core flared with brilliant, ethereal light. For 500... ...years, she has cultivated her mind and spirit, and her grace is unrivaled.
"The ocean will not bow to the chaotic flames of a foreign gaze, young warrior," said Aji Saka, his voice echoing with the philosophical weight of an ancient king. He fixed a calm yet challenging stare upon Darman. "The Eka Puteri's destiny is intertwined with the ancient sovereignty of this land. A soul shattered by the ashes of past ninja wars cannot hope to match the eternal harmony she requires."
Darman Sanjaya Notowongso sneered, his hand gripping the hilt of his Dayak sword tightly as the three *tomoe* in his crimson eyes spun to form a deadly, intricate mandala. The silhouette of his Susanoo briefly manifested behind him, casting a terrifying, spectral shadow of rib-like structures across the courtyard.
"Harmony is a luxury for the weak, Elder," Darman replied, his voice filled with the cold, uncompromising arrogance of the Uchiha lineage. "The Southern Sea is in turmoil, constantly threatened by the Kuoh Rift and the greed of Gaia Im. Your five hundred years of isolation have made you weak." He had no need for the philosophy of an ancient king—he needed a sword capable of piercing the gods themselves."
III. The Empress's Decree
Amidst the Javanese sage's golden radiance and the Dayak Shinigami's absolute, dark flames, Eka Puteri Maharani observed with a calm, enigmatic smile. She did not retreat from the immense pressure generated by their rivalry; instead, she raised her hand, sending a surging wave of pure turquoise oceanic energy sweeping across the courtyard, instantly quelling the auras of the Golden Core and the heat of the Sharingan.
"You both speak of what I need as if the ocean could be charted by words alone," Eka Puteri said, her voice echoing with the deep resonance of the ocean depths. "If you wish to prove who is worthy to stand by my side as ruler of the Nusantara, do not display your arrogance here. The Gate to Alpha World is opening, and Professor Ophis seeks those capable of conquering the parallel rift."
| THE EMPRESS'S TRIAL | | Aji Saka's Strategy: Divine Philosophy, Formations, & Core Mastery | | Darman's Strategy: Ocular Jutsu, Susanoo, & Dayak Mysticism | | Grand Prize: Eka Puteri's Heart and Alliance |
With those words, she turned and vanished into a mist of sea foam, leaving the two rivals standing in the silent courtyard. Aji Saka tightened his grip on his staff, his eyes burning with renewed determination to break through his cultivation barriers, while Darman Sanjaya allowed his Sharingan to glow brightly in the night. The race to the heart of Alpha World had officially begun, and neither of them intended to yield.
