DEATH NOTE - CONTINUED SPOILER ALERT
The Shinigami have a Death Note to end people's lives. It's their job so to speak, because if they don't write down names their lifespan isn't extended and they'll eventually die.
But there's another way Shinigami can die. If they write down a name with the intention of saving someone else's life, for example they kill a criminal right before the moment that person murders someone, then their lifespan is reduced. Shinigami aren't supposed to save people.
In Ryuk's case he didn't save anyone by killing Light, so he's just doing his job.
Correct me if I'm wrong, it's been a while since I saw Death Note.
