== About the Series ==
Welcome to the comprehensive database for the world of Rodinia!
'''A Place Beyond The Light''' is a gritty, high-fantasy and isekai series taking place on the war-torn continent of Rodinia.


'''Current Story:''' [[A Place Beyond The Light: Smoke of Revolution]]
The overarching plot explores the struggles of ordinary people, mercenaries, and fallen nobles caught in a devastating power struggle between the Kingdom of Ardenia, the Albion Empire, the Holy Empire of Rodinia, and the Undying Empire.


The story follows '''[[Asep Muhammad Ridwan]]''', a former street brawler and ex-convict from Bandung, Indonesia, who is suddenly transmigrated to the fantasy Kingdom of Ardenia. Unlike traditional "Otherworlder" heroes summoned by the Church, Asep receives no divine powers, no holy authority, and zero plot armor. What he does possess is a complete lack of native Lumite in his blood, making him an anomaly, and a desperate craving for a good cigarette.  
== 📚 Main Series: Smoke of Revolution ==
The currently active flagship series. It follows '''[[Asep Muhammad Ridwan]]''', a former street thug from Bandung, Indonesia, who is transmigrated to Rodinia. Bereft of natural magic, Asep teams up with the genius sorceress [[Treste Comte Mordeau]], mercenary commander [[Zachary Valente]], and [[Princess Adreana]] to turn the tide of a continental war using mechanical ingenuity, asymmetric warfare, and sheer grit.


Joining the [[Castalia Mercenary Company]] under the leadership of [[Zachary Valente]], Asep is thrust into a brutal, multi-front regional war. As the [[Albion Empire]] invades and the horrific [[Eclipse Cult]] rises from the shadows, Asep partners with the exiled prodigy sorceress and alchemist [[Treste Comte Mordeau]] to trigger a premature industrial revolution and military complex by introducing internal combustion engines, vehicular combat, and guided rockets to a world where magic and swords still rule the battlefield.
