The story begins in the Shinigami Realm, home of the Shinigami: demon-like creatures whose world is a barren, rocky, and desolate area. One such Shinigami is Ryuk, who is watching a couple of fellow Shinigami play with skulls as a form of gambling similar to dice. He tells them that he is off to look for his Death Note, which he mislaid some time ago.
