A/N: This is my second story so sorry if you feel I lack writing skill. Anyway, shinigami have extra powers in this story, but I'll explain later in the story.
Main Rules of the Death Note
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.
All humans, without exception, will eventually die. After they die, the user can go to neither heaven nor hell.
Light Yagami had died. He had remembered that he could go to neither heaven nor hell, and then he saw Ryuk write down his name. He knew what came next, and he felt himself dying. It was painful, but not as bad as he'd thought.
When he awoke, he felt weird. He had just assumed he would be ended, feel nothing, but yet he felt similar to the way he did when he was alive. He was in a dark, mountainous area. He didn't recognize where he was, but he wanted to. He walked around a bit, finding nothing. "I guess this is the nothingness Ryuk described," he said aloud. He was kind of annoyed that he'd be alone like this with nothing to do forever.
While Light was wandering around the shinigam realm, Ryuk was watching from a distance. "Hehe, I wonder when he'll realize what's happened. You'd think he'd notice his wings, and the fact that he looks like a shinigami," he said. He was delighted in knowing that Light had no idea what was going on for once. He would have to laugh at him about it later.
Light wandered some more before plopping down onto the ground. He went to lie down, when he noticed a strange feeling all over his back. He sat up, at turned his head ninety degrees to find that he had wings. He was surprised by the discovery, and jumped from fright. He contemplated the reasons he could have wings.
He had become an angel
He had become a shinigami
He looked down at his hands, and noticed that they were darker, and that the rest of his body had too. He was still a bit unsure of what had happened, so he decided to look around some more.
As light was looking around, he found a death note. He picked it up, and instantly he knew it belonged solely to him. He could feel the connection between himself and the death note. He looked inside. It looked exactly like the one he'd been using in the human world, and in that moment, he knew exactly what had happened. "He lied to me! That jerk, how could he not tell me that users of the death note became shinigami?" he said. He hadn't noticed he had been talking out loud, until he heard Ryuk's voice off in the distance saying, "I was wondering when you would find out, but I guess you just did."
