Chapter 1: The First Step

The sun was just dropping down over the horizon. It seemed like it'd be a calm, peaceful night in the city, or, at least, slightly more peaceful than any other night. This was only so in the world of the mundane.

In the Shinigami Realm, things were as dark and dull as they usually are. The Shinigami making bets on stupid, material things, having boring conversations. There'd be the occasional human kill, but that wasn't as fun as it used to be.

The Shinigami, Drakyl, thought about this life he was living, and decided to attempt to make a name for himself, even though it wasn't as easy as a simple pen-to-paper death trick. He remembered the Kira Crisis…and wanted to see it happen again.

After about 5 hours of careful planning and thought, he realized the only way he'd have that power was to obtain a second Death Note. This was not as easy as it sounds. His simplest option was to steal it from the Great God of Death himself. He, beforehand, had taken the liberty to scout the palace that the Great God of Death lived in for quick and close exits, hiding spots, and guard placements. This would not be easy.

Light on his feet, quieter than the absence of sound itself, he made his way into the palace, climbed and crawled like a shadow on the wall, past every guard and visiting Shinigami he saw. He almost landed on a guard from the ceiling once after his hand slipped, but he quickly regained his composure. At last, he had made it to His Highness's room. He quickly snatched up the Note and silently flew out the window. As soon as he reached a high altitude, he let out a loud, devilish cackle.

The first step was complete.
