Rance has gone through all of his money. With no funds left and his options narrowing, he reluctantly picks up some adventuring work, bringing along his slave Sill and his pet Athena 2.0. A dungeon job goes sideways when they become hopelessly lost in the cave system with no clear exit. Eventually they stumble out the other side—into a castle occupied by youkai who were not expecting visitors. The second entry, Rance VI, follows: Rance and his associates in the magic kingdom of Zeth, where a magic-eliminating organization is destabilizing a society that runs almost entirely on magic.
