According to the message, Humanity had been reset over a million times and every single time we could not prevent our own extinction. No more resets for humanity. No more chances. They would leave our world an irradiated disaster, but to keep things interesting, they would convert our species simulation to a game for their twisted entertainment.

A reason to live, a goal, can change that in an instant. It is always darkest just before the dawn.
