~Death Note~

Felix POV- 

The sun dipped low in the sky, casting long shadows across the campus of Jeongguk University. As students trickled out of classrooms, laughter and chatter filled the air, blending into a vibrant symphony of youthful energy. Among the throng was Lee Felix, a charming and brilliant college student with tousled blonde hair and an easy smile. However, today, a lingering sense of unease sat in his chest, and he felt out of place amidst the vibrancy around him.

After a tedious day of lectures, Felix longed for something to break the monotony of his routine—a moment of excitement, something beyond the ordinary. He stepped out of the main building, the fading sunlight warming his skin, and began his walk home through the expansive campus grounds.

As he strolled along the cobblestone paths lined with trees, Felix took in the sights around him. Groups of students congregated on the grass, some studying, others laughing and sharing stories from their day. Despite the lively atmosphere, a restlessness simmered within him, leaving him yearning for something more.

Suddenly, something caught his eye—a glimmer of black against the lush green grass in the courtyard. Curious, he approached the unusual sight, kneeling down to examine what appeared to be a notebook. It was bound in sleek black leather, with the words "Death Note" embossed in stark, white font. A shiver ran down his spine at the sight of it. What an odd name for a notebook.

He glanced around, but the courtyard was mostly deserted, save for a few distant figures engrossed in their conversations. It seemed he had stumbled upon something unusual, and the thrill of discovery ignited a spark of excitement within him. Felix picked it up, feeling the weight of it in his hands, and flipped it open. The pages were blank, save for a few handwritten rules that sent a chill through him.

"The human whose name is written in this notebook shall die."

Felix laughed nervously, the sound echoing in the stillness around him. It had to be a prank—an elaborate joke set up by some bored student. Yet, as he read on, a morbid curiosity began to brew inside him. The rules detailed the power to control life and death, specifying that the victim would die within forty seconds unless a specific cause of death was provided.

He felt a knot tighten in his stomach as he processed the words. What if it was real? The thought was both thrilling and terrifying. Images of criminals and wrongdoers flashed in his mind, and for a fleeting moment, a sense of power surged within him. But as quickly as it came, fear clawed at him. He could never actually use this.

Felix stood up, gripping the Death Note tightly in his hands. No. This was too much. The very idea of possessing such power filled him with dread. He could feel the weight of the notebook pressing against his chest, a reminder of the dark potential it held. He shook his head, as if trying to physically dispel the thoughts swirling in his mind.

After a long day of classes, Felix found himself in his dorm room, the Death Note sprawled open on his desk like a dark secret waiting to be unleashed. The clock on the wall ticked softly, a reminder that time was fleeting and every moment held weight. He picked up the pen, his fingers trembling.

The rush of adrenaline coursed through him, but with it came an overwhelming sense of dread. What if this wasn't just a joke? What if he really could kill someone with this? The thought made him shudder. How could he even think about using it?

With a mix of fear and hesitation, he glanced at the clock, the second hand ticking away. He could feel his heart racing, the reality of what he held in his hands sinking in. What was he thinking?

But in a moment of desperation, he found himself writing down the name of Kang Minseok, the notorious gang leader whose exploits filled the news. It was a reflex, an impulse driven by a mixture of curiosity and the hope that this could be a way to rid the world of people like him.
