Alright, let's get this started!
So, I've been planning this fic for a few months now, and while there's a lot of details I still need to work out for it (especially for later chapters since we don't know what the future lessons of Obey Me! hold), I decided to go ahead and start writing at the very beginning.
I think we see in-game that the MC is a very resilient person, despite being somewhat of a blank slate. I thought about this and had an idea: "How would Light Yagami survive in the Devildom?"
Then I thought about this a lot, wrote theories for the game, and will probably incorporate them into this story, so... enjoy!
"Please save me. I beg you. You must find me."
One cold, rainy Christmas in Tokyo, Light Yagami shot up in his bed in the dark of night, in the hours when only monsters and ugly insecurities awoke. For the last few nights, ever since the Spaceland bus-jacking incident, the same voice had said these very same words to him in his dreams. Every. Single. Night. It was beginning to interfere with his sleep, his sanity, and his plans for his glorious new world.
Something big was on the cusp of happening - he had known this since he got Raye Penbar's name. But as the nights went on, he only continued to drive himself mad as he scrambled to figure out what it could be. His initial thought was that perhaps he had made a mistake handling Penbar, that there was some entity unaccounted for that could trace him back to the scene of the crime and implicate him. Yet, while this was a possibility he needed to account for before he could crush the agent's heart, something in him whispered promises of something else - something beyond his wildest dreams. However, despite pouring every ounce of energy, imagination, and focus into this puzzle, he felt unsettled by the possibility of even more unknown factors coming into play in his life. To compensate for this fresh bout of uncertainty, he planned as many names in advance as he could - should anything happen to temporarily inconvenience him, criminals would continue to die for twenty-three days. Despite his precautions, however, he couldn't feel safe as long as this sense of foreboding loomed over him.
Scanning his room, he noticed Ryuk curled like a cat on his bedroom floor, and then he saw it - a flash of something on his desk. Snapping to full attention, he slunk out of bed and tip-toed across the floor quietly so as to not wake his family. Approaching this foreign object, he noticed that it seemed to have a message written on it - in English, too. Upon picking it up, Light could see that it was a paper - not any ordinary paper, as he could practically feel the power radiating off of it, much like how he could feel the Death Note safely tucked away in the false bottom of his desk drawer. He quickly scanned over the paper, wary of its contents.
Congratulations!
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at the Royal Academy of Diavolo.
We are looking forward to welcoming you as part of our new exchange program.
'Diavolo? As in, the Italian word for Devil?' He supposed that must be the true name of the Shinigami King that Ryuk had briefly mentioned in passing. But why bother to send a letter to him instead of coming down himself? And what did he mean by exchange program? Were the Shinigami hoping to learn something from him? It was a reasonable assumption, he supposed, given how Ryuk had claimed that Light himself was a better shinigami than, well, most actual Shinigami.
As if on cue, a magic circle of some sort underneath his feet began to glow.
And thus Light Yagami's world went dark.
This is just essentially a little "teaser trailer" of what is to come, but I hope you all stick around for the ride! And please don't be shy about leaving feedback or interacting with me, I love meeting you all and hearing what you like/think I could improve on my writing!
