Paul is a simple man from Korea. He lives on his own and rarely goes out except on Fridays where he does street preaching and the handing out of leaflets and Sundays where he goes to church. This is a reboot of my last Deathnote venture. I have long not liked it due to its poor pacing and often confusing lines that don't paint a clear picture and can be quite confusing. This will follow the same basic plot, but I hope to expand upon the universe and make a longer fanfic overall instead of trying to cram ot all into a dozen 2000 word chapters. I may also change the exact group he is from and other details. This takes place in a universe where some spirituality, rules, and other things are changed or reworded to fit a new setting, but the events of the anime are still considered Cannon but covered up by the Japanese police/government but "Kira" still survives as a widely known across East Asia and America as a kind of Urban legend. People are more sceptical of the existence of Kira, but many do believe he existed. The timeline has been changed so that the events occur between November 28th, 2006, and January 28th, 2010. The days likely being shaved off of any filler days between episodes and having certain events not occur, like mass international recognition of Kira or happen within a much shorter period of time.

High school is when it happened. Criminals start to die, and I start to be more careful of what I'm doing. But we all knew about the one who kills them all... Kira.... I don't believe the fact that he's a god like everyone says... What's more weird, other than Kira, is the fact that the top student in school, Light Yagami, wants to befriend me. College life is the next step in my life. After college I want to join the police force, work under cases and such. Kira is still going around, killing people, now starting to kill innocent people. Then, the person who I'm forced to sit with talks to me again... Light.. But I know that knowing Light... Makes me feel uneasy. Especially ever since I passed notes with him in high school. Ever since then, I saw something by his side at all times, a shinigami... Shinigami.. Gods of death... Then there's a notebook I noticed that Light had.. Death note... I think Light is Kira.. But then I meet L, a member of the group who's working on the Kira case, the best detective in Japan, the one person who hides his identity.... Can I tell him..? Can I trust him...? He seems to trust me enough to tell me that he's L. But there are a few things stuck in my head... Why did he offer me to help him? Why does he want me to help at all? Why does he want me by his side? Why does he want me to choose a letter as a name? Especially for broadcasting? L.... You care about me... Don't you? Or... Are you just trying to make me feel welcome..? This was originally going to have a character but then I decided to make it and L x Reader story. Your point of view will be written in first person, this is only because this is my first x reader story. But I hope you enjoy nonetheless. DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything from the anime Death Note, and I don't own you and your wonderful selves.
