It's complicated, but our world is presently poised on the very brink of falling into madness.
To summarize, there is a very powerful enemy called the Kishin, whose corrupted soul resonates with such powerful madness that the insanity itself manifests in forms that only seek to self-propagate. Like a highly aggressive cancer, this insanity seeks to spread across the entire world. To prevent that fate, my father has sent some of the faculty and students of his academy, and his available Death Scythes from around the world to fight those who would bring it to fruition.
[The existence of universes don't hang in the balance, but this is still heavy stuff.]
Karkat, so grave is this threat even mankind's long time enemies, the witches, have lent us their aid.
If the outcome of the current battle does not work out in our favor, there may be nothing we can do to stop the infection of insanity that will spread like a plague across our world. Order will collapse. As the maintainers of order and leaders of that world, my father and I, as reapers, simply cannot allow that to happen!
