Summary
Duatale is set four months after the Barrier seperating Humans and Monsters was shattered by Asriel Dreemurr. Humans and Monsters now live together in peace. However, Asriel has been reverted back to Flowey as his true form was unstable due to the lack of a SOUL.

Frisk now lives with Toriel in a town at the Surface; Undyne, Alphys, Sans, Papyrus and Asgore also live in the same neighborhood. On a certain day, Frisk comes back from school when he suddenly sees Chara in an alley. Frisk ignores this, thinking that he's hallucinating, but with each day he starts seeing Chara more and more, in the weirdest places.

A week later, when Frisk is going for a stroll, he is assaulted in an abandoned field by Chara who attempts to overwhelm and possess him as to use his body as a vessel so that she can "resume her killing spree". Chara explains to Frisk that she was resurrected in another timeline, namely the Genocide Timeline, which she destroyed after the Frisk of that timeline killed that timeline's Flowey, and that she has now moved on to the timeline where she came from to resume fullfilling her sadistic needs.

Frisk resists Chara and runs off, making it home. Chara attempts to take over Frisk three more times, but Frisk escapes her all three times. Ultimately, Chara grows sick of these failed attempts and tries to kill innocent beings without Frisk.

When Chara ultimately arrives in Frisk's neighborhood to slay its inhabitants, she stops dead in her tracks when she sees Asriel. Frisk arrives too and is confused, seeing as how Asriel was unable to remain in his form. Asriel shows clear disappointment in Chara due to what she had became, and reminds her of their past times. Chara tears up after realizing that she had become a monster and becomes sane again.

After the two re-unite, Frisk asks Asriel how he turned back to normal, only for him to say that a mysterious figure had restored his SOUL. Frisk is astonished that there is an individual who can restore SOULs and that no one ever spoke about it.

Frisk starts doing research on this mysterious person, along with Sans and Alphys, but they fail to find anything of importance. While exiting Alphys' lab, he bumps into a mysterious, armored person shrouded in darkness who was holding a bunch of books, causing him to fall and drop his books.

Frisk apologizes to the figure and offers to help carry his books, to which the figure agrees. Frisk blows away the dust from one of the books, revealing its title to be, "The Art of Almamancy", and when he opens it up, arrives at a page describing how to restore SOULs. Realizing this is the person he, Alphys and Sans were looking for, Frisk invites him in to the lab. The figure reluctantly agrees.

In the lab, Alphys asks the figure who he is, how he learned to restore SOULs and how it is done. The figure introduces himself as Jaris and claims that restoring SOULs is his natural ability. Frisk asks if he was the one who restored the SOUL of Asriel, whom he describes as "a goat boy". Jaris confirms that he had resurrected Asriel, leading to Frisk asking Jaris if he can introduce him to his other friends, to which Jaris once again agrees.

After being introduced to Frisk's other friends, Jaris says that he has to leave, which he promptly does. Frisk is amazed by him and speaks about nothing but Jaris and how cool it is that he can restore SOULs. Asriel and Chara are both happy to have their original lives back and the former asks Frisk to thank Jaris in his name.

The next morning, Frisk locates Jaris' residence and is about to knock on the door when he realizs that it's open. Frisk's curiosity takes over and he walks in to see several texts hanging on the wall describing an organization named "the Collective", that Jaris is seemingly the leader. Frisk cannot resist reading one of the texts, which describes how Jaris has started his mission to collect one SOUL of each type, then fuse them and absorb their energy as to increase the power of the group, who would then use said power to gain control over all the SOULs in the world and brainwash everyone into obeying them, therefore taking over the world.

Just as Frisk realizes Jaris' true intentions, the man himself enters the room and attempts to take Frisk's SOUL, knowing that he has the Determination Type, but the child escapes. Back in the neighborhood, Frisk explains to everyone that the person they were looking up to is evil when suddenly, Jaris himself arrives and traps everyone into bubbles which he teleports away; only Frisk and Papyrus manage to escape, but not after overhearing that Jaris is planning to subject his prisoners to a process that will deactivate their SOULs and give them to Jaris.

Having gone into hiding, Frisk and Papyrus try to think of a plan to save their friends from Jaris and the Collective before they have their SOUL removed. Papyrus gets the idea to pretend to join the Collective, which Frisk agrees to. The two head to the base of the group and pretend to sign up. When they are informed that signing up will also put their SOUL under Jaris' power, the two use the element of surprise to run past the guards. They manage to save their friends and leave just before Jaris arrives, furious due to his minions' incompetence.

From there on, the series revolves around Frisk and co. attempting to stop Jaris and the Collective from succeeding in their goal.
