Rebirth

Outside the grounds of his high school, Light Yagami discovers a notebook that claims to be able to kill anyone whose name and face is known to its owner. He initially dismisses the so-called "Death Note" as a hoax, but after testing it's powers for himself he discovers that it's powers are indeed real. The original owner, a shinigami named Ryuk, approaches Light and explains that since Light was the one who picked it up, the notebook is now his. Additionally, Ryuk demonstrates that since Light is the owner, he is the only one who can see and interact with him. Light decides to use the Death Note's power to rid the world of evil and become the god of a new, peaceful world.
