The story is pretty simple - Hikari ("Light"), the red haired girl that you see in an opening clip, has been kidnapped. And Rance gets the mission from his boss (the bald guy) to investigate the case. Rance is something like a detective in this story. This also turns the whole game more into a detective-like exploring than into rpg or more less rpg/strategy to which the gamers of the latter games of the series are used to. Rance isn’t alone in his job as he has a helper - 16 year old Sill. She's actually Rance's slave. She was from a rich family but later got kidnapped by some bandit and then auctioned as a slave. The one who bought her was of course Rance. Now with her help you (Rance) have to solve this mystery, bring Hikari back and pay back to the ones at fault.

Ten years ago in the town of Custom, four young girls were appointed as disciples to an old mage named Ragisis. They were to be raised as mages and work as the town's guardians after their training was completed. However, after the ten years, the girls suddenly rebelled against Ragisis and killed him. During the intense magic battle, the entire town was buried underground and a barrier spell was placed on it, preventing anyone from leaving, including the mages who terrorized the town. The four mages were soon known as Four Witches of Custom. Having accepted a quest at the guild to help Custom, Rance sets out with Sill to defeat the four mages and save the town from their grasp. Now that Rance is on the job, Custom is saved! ...Or is it?
