A brilliant but disillusioned student, Light Yagami, finds a supernatural notebook that lets him kill anyone whose name he writes, and begins reshaping the world as "Kira". With shifting identities, sacrifices, and moral lines collapsing, the battle of wits spirals toward an uncertain end. In this version the same events have taken place, but it is set in an alternate medieval time period. Light, who yearns to play god, is a priest— the closest he can be to the role he desires. Misa is now a ditzy princess instead of her real popstar self. Lastly, Rem is Misa's knight in shining armor, her protector who feels uneasy near Light.
