A/N: Not much to say... Enjoy! Warning: L's true name!

I remember when Whammy first found me in London. My mother and father had disappeared so suddenly that I got lost.
Whammy told me that he owned an orphanage for children who were more than capable to lead tomorrow's future.
He asked me if I wanted to go, and of course, since there was no other option, I said yes.
During the following years of my time at Whammy's, I was obviously more superior than any other child. Whammy's was an orphanage where no matter what category of work you wanted to work in, they accepted you.
Lillian, as I can remember, was an excellent artist. She rivaled Da Vinci's work with the simplicity of a brush stroke, but she struggled to understand the complexity of long division.
Jason was a born chemist, he discovered more compounds in his teens then any other chemist had at the withering age of 40. Yet, he doesn't quite understand the concept of Law and order. He cringes when ever someone brings up law.
But Whammy and Roger called me 'special'. I could paint a pretty decent picture and understand math. I understand science very well and I am a detective so I do know a lot about Law and Order.
From what I understand, the Whammy's orphanage had only one purpose: To raise the hope for tomorrow's future. In several investigations of my own, Whammy's orphanage only accepted the best and the most potential to benefit society.
Which is where we come in. There was some sort of monarchy in Whammy's house. Everyone wanted to be number one. To be admired and feared by the rest of your peers. If a talented artist was number one, you would notice the a renaissance of art and learning sweep the world.
If a scientist became number one, a new age dedicated to science would seize the minds of the outside world. In other words, the Whammy's house was very influential.
But I, L Lawliet, was special. Because when I became number one, instead of a few decades of my influence, I created a legacy that carried on for hundreds of centuries.
And that my reader, is where are true story begins.
