Read Curse of the Vengeful Tongue
Asahara Gin was always seen as a rising star in the police force — quick on his feet, sharp in combat, and gifted with instincts that most detectives could only dream of. But one fateful case changed everything. An unexpected encounter with a criminal far more dangerous than he had ever faced left Gin wounded not only in body but in spirit. What should have been a straightforward pursuit turned into a turning point in his career and his life.
In the aftermath, Gin’s path collides with that of Mera Shusui, a seasoned detective known less for brute strength and more for sharp intellect, keen observation, and a mysterious aura that unsettles both allies and criminals. But Mera isn’t just another partner — he comes with a dark condition. To work together, Gin must enter a binding master–servant contract, one that ties their fates in an unusual and dangerous way.
The reason for this bond is chilling. Somewhere out there lurks the most feared serial killer of their time, a ruthless predator whose crimes defy normal investigation. The killer leaves behind not just bodies, but clues soaked in malice — and the only way to track him is to collect the blood of other criminals, each sample holding secrets that inch the detectives closer to their true target.
Now forced into an uneasy partnership, Gin and Mera hunt through the underworld, chasing leads and fighting enemies while wrestling with their own differences. One is guided by raw strength and fiery determination, the other by careful strategy and cold logic. Together, they’ll face secrets, betrayal, and deadly traps — but both know one truth: stopping this killer means risking everything.
In a world where justice comes with a price, how far will they go to end the nightmare?
