Dark Souls II Doujinshi and Comics

The story of Dark Souls 2 begins with a human who is cursed to always resurrect after dying. To break the curse, the undead travels to the fallen kingdom of Drangleic and is tasked by the Emerald Herald with obtaining four Great Souls from other powerful undead. Once obtained, the Emerald Herald directs the undead to "Seek the King" in the capitol. After fighting through the remains of the royal guards, the player encounters the Queen Nashandra, who reveals that the king failed in his duty and fled his kingdom long ago. She asks you to slay the king and bring his signet ring to her.

Near the end of the Queen's quest, the player learns that the ruin of the kingdom was in fact caused by Nashandra. She came to the king and decieved him into launching an ill fated invasion across the sea into the lands of the Giants. She coveted their souls and sought to steal their power. Though the raid succeeded in stealing the giant's power, the Ashen Mist Heart, the Giants retaliated. Invading Drangleic, the Giants eventually destroyed the kingdom. With his kingdom in ruins, the king discovered Nashandra's true purpose and locked himself inside the undead crypt.

Confronting the Emerald Herald one final time, she states that Nashandra is a fragment of Manus, holder of the Dark Soul. She asks you to put Nashandra to rest and link the fire, sending the curse into remission. Once Nashandra is defeated, the player climbs into the kiln and relights the flame.

The DLC, Scholar of the First Sin, slightly changes the ending. The player is instead given a choice, the player can either link the fire, restarting the Age of Fire, and sending the curse into remission repeating the cycle; or the player can walk away, causing the light of the world to go out, with all of humanity eventually going hollow and withering but the cycle would break for all time.
