Part 2 - Called Back
Kayla entered the room with hurried steps and only stopped at the sight of the dark shadow by the window, looking outside at the city at his feet. The blazing fires had long died out, leaving only darkened stone, ash and an intense and sickening burning smell in their place. The palace, where they now met, had been the only construction that had been spared the massive destruction that had devastated the Kingdom of Everlyn.
“My Lord! Why have you commanded me to halt the attack on Mithir? The city would have fallen in less than half a day!”
“Kayla, I’ve told you before. Destroying everything that stands in your path isn’t always the best way to accomplish our objectives,” he whispered condescendingly and turned to face her. “Besides I need your presence elsewhere. News from the west have reached me. It would seem my jewel is somewhere over there. I charged Caleb with finding it. However, in case he fails, I may need your intervention.”
“West? But … how?”
“It would seem it found its way to somewhere near Melkar. And this cat and mouse game has gone too far,” he went one, approaching her, and Kayla lowered her gaze.
“If that is what you wish …”
“Yes, it is,” he replied, lightly touching her head, sliding his fingers down the long strands of red hair that fell all the way to her waist. “Your hair, like this, makes you look like one of them. You could easily go unnoticed in a human city,” he said sarcastically and Kayla escaped his touch, living flames burning in her eyes.
“I’ll leave immediately.”
“Yes. And keep me informed.”
She simply nodded and left the room, her steps echoing against the white stone floor.

Serafan laughed, amused with the anger a few mere words could invoke, and took a deep breath.
“It would seem you earned yourself some time, my beloved Endio. Lets see then if your precious city is as resistant as you claim …”

Only Villains Do That
While waiting on an Akihabara train platform one day, ordinary high schooler Yoshi Shinonome was suddenly plucked from his normal life in Japan and whisked away by a beautiful goddess to Ephemera, a world of magic and adventure, to serve as her Hero and drive back the evil Dark Lord. This is not his story. Standing nearby at the moment Yoshi was isekai'd was a man named Seiji - a rude, cranky, misanthropic musician who was not at all pleased to find himself also snatched up and transported to Ephemera by the goddess's wicked sister, Virya. According to this self-proclaimed Goddess of Evil, the whole fantasy adventure thing was a game she and her sister played to stave off the boredom of immortality, and since the good goddess, Sanora, had picked her Hero...well, Virya needed a Dark Lord. A grown man with his own career and ambitions, Seiji has no interest in playing. Unfortunately for him, the call to adventure was not a request. Now, he must conquer Ephemera and defeat the Hero...or Virya promises to make him beg for the release of death before granting it. Playing along for his own survival, Seiji nonetheless is under no illusions who his true enemy is, and it's not the naive young would-be Hero from his own world. Placed in an impossible position, Seiji must make enough progress toward world domination to keep his sadistic patron goddess off his back, but not so much that he can't strike an accord with the forces of Good and convince the Hero Yoshi that it's the goddesses who are their mutual enemy. Forced to embrace Evil without being too evil, Seiji walks the razor's edge, building his forces and biding his time till he can get revenge on the goddesses and be free of them, his only certainty that he will not be getting out of this with his hands clean. A Dark Lord's gotta do what a Dark Lord's gotta do. Updates Tuesday and Friday. Most Patreon tiers get to read one chapter in advance of the public release!

Untouched (Untouched #1)(Old Work)
{COMPLETED!} A story of twists and turns, and an epic struggle. He was there. And then he was gone; vanished. Ellen's attacker was killed in broad daylight under unusual circumstances. One minute he was behind her; the next, caught between the hoods of two cars. That's when she questioned how normal she truly was. But when she becomes exposed to an unknown world, she quickly learns that there is more to life than meets the eye. Necromancers, sleight of hands, illusions, and trickery are amongst the many tools used by others to hunt her kind. The struggle becomes real as she fights to remain untouched; all whilst in the middle of an epic blood battle between good versus evil. "Through all of the countless crap stories and recycled tales, Untouched is a rare diamond in the rough. With tantalizing descriptions and characters with incredible depth, T.K. Kotkoda paints a unique tale that is a much-need change from the stereotypical Paranormal story. It has been my pleasure to read it." - JDGRIMM - Highest Paranormal Rank: #28 [5 May 2017] -
