传火的真相 / The Truth of Linking the Fire#
传火并非真正的救赎——它只是延续火焰的虚假希望。每一次传火都会让火之时代短暂延续，但火焰终将再次熄灭。这个循环已经持续了无数次，而你只是这个循环中的一环。
Linking the fire is not true salvation — it is merely a false hope to prolong the flame. Each linking briefly extends the Age of Fire, but the flame will eventually fade again. This cycle has repeated countless times, and you are merely one link in this chain.
深渊的故事 / The Story of the Abyss#

深渊是火之时代的对立面。当火焰熄灭，黑暗将降临，这就是深渊。深渊行者阿尔特留斯曾试图阻止深渊的蔓延，但最终失败并被腐化。
The Abyss is the opposite of the Age of Fire. When the flame fades, darkness falls — this is the Abyss. The Abysswalker Artorias tried to stop the Abyss’s spread but ultimately failed and was corrupted.

传火时代的诸神 / Gods of the Age of Fire#

总结 / Summary#
黑暗之魂的故事是一个关于牺牲、轮回和选择的寓言。在这个世界中，没有绝对的善恶，只有不同的道路和代价。你的选择将决定这个世界的命运——是延续虚假的光明，还是拥抱未知的黑暗。无论你选择哪条路，这都是一段值得铭记的旅程。
Dark Souls’ story is an allegory of sacrifice, cycles, and choice. In this world, there is no absolute good or evil — only different paths and costs. Your choice will determine the fate of this world — prolong the false light, or embrace the unknown darkness. Whichever path you choose, it will be a journey worth remembering.
