"Oh my god, who is 'L.K.'? How did he do it?"
"Amazing! This 'L.K.' must be someone on the same level as the Rulers."
"A triple-S rating? That's insane! Even getting an A or S rank is already hard enough!"
"This is the first time I've ever heard of someone getting a perfect rating. 'L.K.' is incredible!"
"You must be new here. Six years ago, someone else got a perfect score too. It was such a shock back then. It's been so long since then… and now another person appears with the same result. Makes you wonder—have we entered a new age of geniuses without even realizing it?"
"The world stage was Death Note, right? Unreal. I played that one too. I spent a whole week and still found no clue. How did this player, 'L.K.', finish every main mission in just six hours?"
"Six hours and he completed all main missions? Is he even human, or is he from some superior race?"
"I'd kneel to this 'L.K.' and buy his strategy for any price if I had to!"
The Tower of Worlds was bursting with life and excitement. The name "L.K." spread like wildfire overnight. He was the player who had achieved the legendary SSS rating, something no one had seen in years. People everywhere—ordinary players, high-ranking officials, and powerful figures—were all talking about him, speculating about his true identity.

The "Death Note" World
Louis had no idea that his name was already being shouted across the entire Tower.
At that moment, he himself was still stunned by the system's announcement—he had really received a perfect SSS rating.
But the more he thought about it, the more it made sense.
First:
The time limit for the mission was one full week.
Yet he had completed everything in just six hours, which was unbelievably fast.
Second:
The main missions only required revealing the true identities of L and Kira.
But Louis went far beyond that. He discovered the identities of Amane Misa, Near, and Mello as well.
Then, using the torn Death Note pages that Light Yagami had given him, he wrote down the names of every main character and wiped them all out—a feat that left no room for doubt about his victory.
At that moment, a familiar system voice echoed in his mind:
[Player L.K., you have completed the mission. You will receive the following rewards:]
[World Points: 9,000]
[Item: One page from the Death Note (usable only in the real world / maximum of 3 uses).]
[You are no longer allowed to re-enter this world.]
Louis froze after hearing the rewards.
"Only 9,000 world points? Why so little… oh, right, this was a Safe Zone world."
Still, he smiled slightly as he examined the reward.
"A Death Note page, limited to three uses or not, is still a trump card for me."
He thought to himself,
"Once I start climbing the Tower and clearing main worlds, I'll earn much more than in these Safe Zone worlds."
Just then, a voice came from beside him.
"Hey! Are there always so many rewards for a perfect SSS rating?"
It was the girl from the waiting room—the one who had been there earlier.
By now, everyone had returned to the waiting room. Since the system forbade fighting in this place, Crow and his team could do nothing but glare at Louis with killing intent before leaving silently.
The girl in the mask stood near him, her crimson eyes burning with emotions—
envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Louis smiled calmly.
"Not that many rewards, honestly. It's just a Safe Zone world. How many prizes do you think I could get?"
"Hmph!" The masked girl clearly didn't believe him. She scoffed softly, then asked,
"The mission's over. Aren't you planning to sell your world strategy?"
"I don't think so. This world is a bit… special. I'd rather wait a while before deciding."
"Fine then," she said after a pause. "Can we add each other as friends? If you ever decide to sell the strategy, I'd like to have priority, alright?"
"Sure, that's fine by me."
They added each other as friends, then both left the waiting area.
Moments later, they each returned to the real world.
