Chapter 1: A Mysterious Notebook

Shinigami Realm

Dusty, dark, and boring, that was all the Shinigami realm had to offer. Ryuk couldn't even remember the last time he had heard something that would entertain him. He felt bored and uninterested with everything there was. Killing humans with his Death Note seemed unsatisfying because they were worlds apart, the games played by the other Shinigami bored him, the food was tasteless, and the sight was simply dull.

Ryuk tried several times to acquire a second Death Note so he could travel to the human world, but was unable to. It seemed that Sidoh blew the whistle on him and no one wanted to be anywhere near him.

Ryuk simply sat there, wondering what his life would be like if his old friend were still alive. Suddenly, Ryuk heard steps coming in his direction. He turned and was greeted by an unfamiliar face.

"Who are you?" Ryuk asked a Shinigami he had never seen before.

"I've been looking for you" the Shinigami responded "I wanna hear your story"

"Story?" Ryuk asked.

"I'll make it worth your while" the mysterious Shinigami then tossed something at Ryuk. Ryuk caught it in his hand, he opened it to reveal a Shinigami apple.

Ryuk began to chuckle at the sight of the rotten piece of fruit in his hand "Oh well, I would have liked one that's a little more juicy." Ryuk then took the apple and shoved it into his mouth.

"I wanna go down to the human world" said the mysterious Shinigami "I'm sick of this place, it's so boring. I've heard that the human world was a lot more interesting."

Ryuk then proceeded to swallow the apple "Well, it's no use complaining about how boring it is here." He said as he turned towards the Shinigami "Now, if you were thinking of doing something stupid, like changing the human world, that would be interesting. I was getting bored anyway, I'll humor you. Take it as my appreciation for that lousy apple. I'll tell you the story of a human I once knew, one who tried to change the world and become God."

Ryuk then told the new Shinigami the story of his old friend Light Yagami and his Death Note. He explained to him the thousands of criminals he killed when he first found the Death Note, his little brain contest with the detective simply known as L, how he nearly became the God of the human world and his defeat at the hand of L's successor, Near.

When he was finished, Ryuk opened his Death Note and looked at a single name written on it. Light Yagami.

"No, Light, you weren't actually a God back then, you were something else" he said while staring at the name, he then turned as he realized something "Hm, he left" Ryuk then turned towards the moon. "Go ahead, why not give it a shot? If you're lucky some unbelievable guy might just pick up your notebook. Maybe you'll get to see something you'll never forget for the rest of your life. That's what I think, wouldn't you agree…Light?"

Royal Woods, Michigan (Monday, September 5th 2016)

Lincoln simply sat there, on his desk, reading from his text book, like the rest of his classmates. He glanced at his wrist watch, five minutes 'til lunch time. Lincoln continued reading what was supposed to be a news article from a couple months back with the date March 5th 2016.

The article read.

Burglar Spotted In Royal Woods

A series of robberies have been occurring in the town region of Royal Woods Michigan. Local authorities recommend remaining indoors and keep doors and windows shut.

Lincoln remembered the events; his sisters were scared when it started, nonetheless the burglar, whose name was revealed to be Frank Smith, was caught shortly thereafter and everyone felt relieved. After what seemed like an eternity, the bell rang and all the students headed towards the lunch room.

As he walked towards his locker, Lincoln began to question his path in life. A while back he received a visit from his father's younger brother who was in the police force.

"If only I could contribute to do the same as my uncle" he thought to himself "things only seem to get worse every day."

Lincoln put his books in his locker and headed towards the lunch room. As he did so, Lincoln began to wonder if he made the right decision when he decided to join the police force like his uncle. He may not have been as physically inclined as Lynn but he was considered the smartest of the bunch, second only to Lisa.

"Lincoln" the white haired teenager heard a voice cry out his name, he turned to see his best friend, Clyde McBride accompanied by his girlfriend. "How you doing buddy?"

"Hey, Clyde" Lincoln responded, he then turned towards the Goth who was actually friends with Lincoln's younger sister, Lucy "Haiku."

"Lincoln" Haiku said in a half whisper. The two had been at odds recently, mainly due to the fact that Lucy had arranged a secret date for them which ended on a sour note. To the point that tensions sored when Clyde decided to ask her out.

It wasn't that Lincoln wasn't happy for his friend; it was more that he felt a bit uncomfortable around her.

The three paid no mind and headed towards the lunch room. After getting their trays, Clyde began talking.

"So, Lincoln have you thought of taking anyone to the dance next week?" Lincoln simply stared at the table, completely amerced in his own thoughts "Lincoln"

"Huh" the white haired teen jolted his head up "Oh, sorry. I was just thinking. Have you guys seen the sudden increase in the town's crime rate?"

"Lincoln, Clyde just asked you about a dance and you're more concerned about the town's crime rate?" Haiku asked annoyed.

"Baby, leave him alone." Clyde said "Remember he said that he wanted to study to be a detective, so he has to focus on this sort of stuff." Haiku simply huffed, Clyde turned back to his friend "But she's got a point, Lincoln. You should give yourself a break, go out with someone. Don't you wanna give your mom grandchildren?"

"Why bother? I'm not even interested in a relationship at the moment." Lincoln responded "Besides, my uncle already explained to me that the profession I chose wouldn't really give me time for something like that. I kind of need to get used to it."

Clyde looked at his friend. He appeared to be absent, his body was there but his mind wasn't.

"What goes on in that head of yours?" Clyde thought. After several minutes, the bell finally rang and the students headed towards their next class.

Later that afternoon, Lincoln was walking home when he noticed something. "What's this?" he asked as he reached for the strange object. He couldn't make out exactly what it was as it was covered in dust. He blew on the cover to clear the dust and was left confused "What the?" the object was revealed to be a notebook with a black cover and big white bold letters that read DEATH NOTE. Lincoln stared at the black covered notebook and opened it to reveal the undercover which showed a list of what appeared to be instructions which read:

HOW TO USE IT

The human whose name is written in this note shall die.

This note will not take effect unless the writer has the person's face in their mind when writing his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.

If the cause of death is written within the next 40 seconds of writing the person's name, it will happen.

If the cause of death is not specified, the person will simply die of a heart attack.

After writing the cause of death, details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds.

Lincoln stared at the notebook with a raised eye brow "A notebook that can kill anyone whose name is written in it?" He thought to himself "I'll bet it's some sort of prank that Haiku is trying to pull on me." Lincoln then started to observe the notebook's under cover "Although it does seem to be too detailed to be a simple prank." Lincoln didn't pay much thought to it and placed the notebook in his bag. "I must be out of my mind."

After five minutes of walking back home, Lincoln opened the door which squeaked as he did so. "Dad should really get that door fixed" he thought. "I'm home" he shouted. Suddenly, a blonde eleven year old girl ran down the stairs. She wore a light blue shirt with a brown skirt.

"Lincoln" she said as she hugged his leg "I missed you, big brother."

Lincoln wrapped his arm around his little sister "Hi, Lori." He said "How was your day?"

"Ugh" Lori complained "There's this jerk at school named Bobby, he's been throwing these stupid pranks at me."

"Maybe he simply wants to get your attention" Lincoln said jokingly, Lori huffed at him. "Any way, I have a lot of homework, but call me if you need anything."

"Okay" Lori said as she ran towards the living room, only to see her little sister, Luna, watching TV. Lincoln laughed as his sisters fought over the remote and headed towards his bedroom.

Several minutes later, Lincoln had finally finished his homework and decided to inspect the notebook he found on his way back.

"So, if I write anyone's name in this notebook, as long as I memorize their face, that person will die?" he asked himself "Sounds a bit outlandish if you ask me. Although…"

He then recalled something that was occurring when he was 4, a specific case his uncle had worked on.

"Could this be it?" he thought "The weapon used by Kira all those years ago?" Lincoln paid no mind to it and simply closed the notebook. A while ago, Lincoln had saved enough money to buy a small TV for his bedroom.

And since he had nothing better to do, Lincoln decided to watch some TV. He circled from channel to channel eventually stopping at a local news broadcast.

"I am currently standing outside of 'Flip's Food N Fuel' were Frank Smith, the notorious burglar from several months ago, is holding the establishment owner hostage" said a horrified news reporter as the camera zoomed in to show the man's face, he had his arm wrapped around Flip while aiming a knife at the elder man's neck with his other hand "The police has just arrived at the scene are surrounding the establishment".

Lincoln simply rolled his eyes and then turned towards the notebook lying on his desk. He walked towards it.

"Alright, Kira" he thought to himself "Let's see if this is really your secret."

Lincoln then opened the notebook to the first page which was completely blank; he then proceeded to grab a pen and took a close look at the man's face.

Lincoln then pressed the pen on the paper and scribbled it until he wrote the name Frank Smith on the notebook.

"Alright, so forty seconds starting now." Lincoln turned to his wristwatch and waited. Thirty seconds later he turned back to the screen and closed his eyes.

"Nothing" he thought "Well, I wasn't expecting much." He then grabbed the notebook and proceeded to close it.

"Wait a minute, what's happening?" said the news reporter as the camera zoomed in to see the escaped criminal suddenly dropping his knife and loosening his grip, allowing Flip to run. Smith brought his hand close to his chest and began screaming before collapsing onto the floor.

Lincoln simply stared in complete shock as a police officer ran towards the man who lay motionless on the floor. He placed his hand on Smith's neck, searching for a pulse. Several seconds later, he turned towards the chief. "He's dead" the officer shouted.

The young man gasped in pure horror. He didn't know what to expect, an extremely dangerous criminal that escaped from prison several years ago suddenly collapsed onto the floor and died before his eyes, exactly forty seconds after he had written the man's name in a notebook.

Lincoln was left speechless, motionless, and breathless as he stared blankly at the notebook. He looked at the white letters one more time before opening it. He stared at the strange letters in the undercover.

"Lincoln" said a voice from outside his door, Lincoln ran to open it and saw both his parents and sisters standing outside with worried looks on their faces. "Are you okay?"

"What's wrong, big brother?" Lori asked.

Lincoln looked at the look of innocence in his sister's eyes, it felt wrong, but he didn't want her to worry. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Yeah, I'm fine." He said "I was just startled by something I saw in the news."

"Alright" said Rita "Do you need anything?"

"I'm fine, mom" Lincoln insisted.

Lincoln walked back into his room, closed the door and then dropped his façade, inside he was trembling.

"I killed him" he thought to himself. "I never imagined myself capable of killing. What am I going to do? I was always told that Kira was a bad person, and I just used the very same weapon he used. Does that make me a bad person?"

Shinigami Realm

Ryuk noticed as the new Shinigami walked towards the portal to the human world

"Looks like someone found your Death Note" he whispered "I suppose asking you to bring me an apple is out of the question. Bah, no matter. Have fun."

The new Shinigami continued walking when he noticed the other Shinigami staring at him.

"Hey, new guy." Midora asked "Where are you going?"

"I hate to disappoint you but this entire place looks like this." Kinddara Guivelostain added.

"I know" the Shinigami responded "But I think I dropped my Death Note. I'll check the human world and see if it's there."

"The human world?" Midora asked "You actually heard Ryuk's story?"

"I did, is there a problem?" he turned towards the slug-like Shinigami.

"Not at all, at least not for me." Midora responded "I'm just saying that you shouldn't get your hopes up."

"I'll keep that in mind." The Shinigami stated as he continued to walk towards the portal to the human world. He sprouted a large pair of Skeletal like wings and flew into the human world.

Author's note: So, what did you guys think of the first chapter? And what do you think Lincoln's gonna do with the Death Note? So, before any of you ask, yes. That Shinigami is the same one from the Death Note Relight Films.
