I did say they gave up. Yes, they gave up and died possessing powers described by those who had contact with them as: - Determination (required to Save: And when I tried to load my save file... It didn't work. Your DETERMINATION! Somehow, it's even greater than mine! - Flowey, being also injected with Determination) - ''...I've extracted it from the human SOULs. I believe this is what gives their SOULs the strength to persist after death. The will to keep living... The resolve to change fate''. Entry #5, ''But humans have one weakness. Ironically, it is the strength of their SOUL. Its power allows it to persist outside the human body, even after death'' - Ancient glyphs - Save - ''The power to reshape the world... Purely by your own determination. The ability to play God! The ability to "SAVE."; But as I left this mortal coil... Something primal started to burn inside me. "I don't want to die!"... Then I woke up... I was back at the garden. Back at my "save point."... Again and again, I brought myself to the edge of death... But as long as I was determined to live... I could go back...; As time repeated, people proved themselves predictable. What would this person say if I gave them this? What would they do if I said this to them? Once you know the answer, that's it. That's all they are...; I've done everything this world has to offer. I've read every book. I've burned every book. I've won every game. I've lost every game. I've appeased everyone. I've killed everyone. Sets of numbers... Lines of dialog... I've seen them all''.

...Either because they were too frustrated to continue (lost their determination)... I've done it... I've extracted it from the human SOULs... Let's call this power... "Determination." They didn't.

...they got tired of fighting (probably) the strongest monster in the underground over and over... The same monster that dies from single hit during Genocide... - for posterity
