Дальнейший сюжет

Roman, a 19-year-old nobody, ponders the choices that have made him one of life's losers. Lured by a street graffiti promising a better future, he is drugged and wakes in a glamorous mansion to find himself handcuffed and immobile. His captor is a vampire who must pass on his powers before committing suicide — the consequence of having lost a vampire duel. This process involves the transfer of a parasitic worm vampires call "The Tongue." Roman is to be the Tongue's new host and thereby a member of the secret elite who rule the world.
Roman is next confronted by Mithra, a mentor figure who seems rudely disinterested in his student. Mithra explains that Roman has been renamed Rama and that the Tongue is less parasite and more symbiotic passenger with objectives of its own. Rama also learns that vampires do not drink blood (which they call "Red Liquid") but when they sample it, via the Tongue, they absorb all the knowledge and experiences of the donor.
Sampling various Red Liquid extracts from great minds of the past, Rama is tutored in the twin disciplines of Glamor and Discourse, rhetorical devices designed by vampires to blind humanity to the hidden reality of the world by focussing their minds exclusively on the pursuit of financial wealth. In an elaborate sequence involving vampire kung fu, a spectacular high speed car chase through Moscow and a rubber sex doll, Rama is also trained in the arts of Combat and Love—two sides of the same coin, he is told. Experimenting with his new powers Rama learns it is time for his first bite of human prey. Stalking an attractive young woman in the street, the bite gives him access to her innermost memories and he thoroughly enjoys the experience of manipulating her into bed.
Beginning to doubt the ethics of his new life, Rama is told of the next stage in his education. He will participate in something called "The Great Fall" and will do so alongside a fellow initiate, Hera. Meeting Hera online, Rama sees that she is young, beautiful and as confused by her new life as he is by his. After tasting the mysterious liquid that is his invitation to The Great Fall, and reciting the words, "Into darkness, backwards and downwards!" Rama is able to assume a bat-like form and fly. Swooping across the glittering nighttime Moscow skyline he encounters Hera and soon they arrive at a deep cave on the outskirts of the city. Back in human form the young couple meet senior vampire Enlil, the equivalent of human management, he explains. Hera points out that Enlil looks just like a vampire from the movies, to which he replies that vampires all over the world regularly fund vampire movies...
