2012 the day the world ended.

2012 the day the Shinigami died.

2012 the day ten thousand Death Notes rained from the Sky and the SPK was formed to hunt down the people proclaiming themselves KIRA.

2012 the day nobody knew.

1st of January 2012 the Shinigami died by an unknown cause, when this event happened the sky ripped open and ten thousand Death Note fell to Earth to be snatched up by Humans. When this event happened the media was kept silent by the U.N and the SPK created, their purpose was to eliminate the Kiras are contain their Death Notes until it was made aware how to destroy them.
KIRA's sent messages to television networks about how they were each making a different world but because each message was different the world was sent into a state of anarchy the title "Kira" became one associated with those who were mad and it was soon leaked that they could kill with just a name and a face causing many people to adopt Alias's for their own good however others saw the Kira as judgement and did not adopt Alias's. Many criminals were culled and countless innocent and so it was decided something needed to be done.
So a few KIRA created an organisation known as the "New World" with the sole purpose of uniting the KIRA under one common goal.

These are the stories of the KIRA's and those who knew of their existence.
