Welcome to the Japan server, where our protagonist Light Yagami is a Level 99 school NPC. He's top of his class with perfect stats, and he's bored out of his skull, like a sweatlord who beat the whole game on Nightmare difficulty and has nothing left to do. The server is a toxic lobby. Criminals are spamming the chat, the devs (the police) are AFK, and Light is hard-stuck in a life with zero endgame content. Then the sky drops an unpatched, game-breaking item on his head: the Death Note. Its rules read like a Terms of Service nobody agrees to, but this DLC costs one soul to unlock. The loot comes with Ryuk, a Shinigami who looks like a goth Hot Topic mascot. He fell asleep in the lobby and only wants apples, because the dude is basically a Level 1000 Discord moderator who logs in just to watch the drama. - Light is bored out of his mind, doing school and cram school like the world's most overqualified NPC on autopilot. He clears the tutorial boss with his eyes closed and still complains there's no content. Thousands of years of human civilization, and his main hobby is staring out a window and thinking "meh". - He finds the Death Note and reads the rules like a lawyer reading a mobile game EULA: "Write a name, they die." Zero warranty, no refunds. The only reasonable response is to say "lol no way" and then test it immediately, because Light is the kind of guy who sees an unlabeled lever and pulls it just to see what happens. - The first beta test is Kurou Otoharada, a hostage-taker on live TV holding a daycare hostage. This guy is a Level 5 NPC with a main-character complex who thought he was running a raid boss. Light writes his name, and the guy drops dead of a heart attack live on air. That's what you get for rage-quitting on a server with a daycare. Zero respawn timer, no revive spell, straight to the Shadow Realm. The police look like silver-ranked League of Legends players flaming each other at 3 AM, and nobody can figure out what just happened. - Light…
