Light had found a notebook on the school grounds. Curiosity got the better of him and he took it home.
'DEATH NOTE' is written on the cover. After reading through the rules. He can kill someone.. if he writes down their full name.. and has the image of them in his head.
He had to test it out. After watching the news. He saw a man that's trapping innocent people in a store. And wrote down the name that the people spoke up. After a minute he died of a heart attack.
"Did it really happen? Was it simply done by writing down his name? Killing indirectly. Pen and ink and paper. Writing is the gun, I only have to aim.."
Light spoke to himself in shock. No way, it has to be a coincidence! He opened the window. Looking around for someone else to test it on.
