Taste Of Death: The Last Three Minutes

Ryan was a Blood-Tongue detective who could see what the dead had witnessed in their final three minutes by tasting their blood, and he stumbled into the vast conspiracy of the Cruorgaze Cult when he came across a dish made of human flesh. The truth behind his father's murder, the slumbering will of an ancient blood progenitor inside his girlfriend Aria, his friend's vampire lineage, the mastermind Roman, and a transmigrator all led him to the Pentadragon jade pendant and the Gate of Rebirth. Ryan used his tongue as a blade and worked with his companions through sacrifice and protection to dismantle the vampires' millennium-long scheme, set right everything that had been twisted, and bring his beloved home.
