Summary: Light muses on his ambitions.


They don't see it the way he does. They don't realize how much better the world could be – if it were cleaned up a little. But where does a little become a lot; and, where does a lot become too much?

Dystopia, he scoffs, the vision he has for this world is no dystopia. It is perfect. Better than the original by far. And he will keep it running like clockwork – with an iron fist.

Latently, he acknowledges that he is too far gone. It's too late to call him back from the brink of insanity. He's already started the tip over the edge. Somebody stop him before he manages to-

Actively, he thinks, what's the point in stopping now. He is creating a better world. There's just a little left to go. Surely, he can do better than God. After all, all God did was create the world and sit on his ass...

Megalomaniac? Ha! How dare they think to type him with such pitiful creatures! He doesn't wish to rule the world; he will become god of the world. Obviously, this is greater than megalomania. His standards are higher.

… It's become far too much already. And the world is going to change.
