Rance 02: The Rebellious Maidens

This is the second game of the Alice Soft Rance series, remade in 2009 and released in Alice 2010. Since the original Rance 2 and Rance 2 remade have the same gameplay and story, this article will use information and images from the remade version for better visual.

Story
Ten years prior to the story, four young girls in the town of Custard were appointed as disciples to an old mage named Ragithis. They were to be raised as mages and work as the town's guardians after their training completed. However, after the ten years, the girls suddenly rebelled against Ragithis and killed him, and during the harsh magic battle the entire town was entombed underground and a barrier spell was put on it, preventing everyone from going out.

This is when Rance appears. With Sill on his side, he takes the job of defeating the magician maidens and saving the town. But, after some research, he finds out that the actual villian was Ragithis himself, who put four magical rings on four maidens. The rings give a great boost of magical power to its bearers, but are also able to steal magic power from virgin sorceresses. After collecting a total amount of magic power equal to that of of 40 maidens, the rings are able to grant a magician unlimited power. The leader of girls, Masou Shizuka, figured out Ragithis's plan and rebelled against him to prevent his plan from succeeding. However, it was too late - cursed rings could not be removed and the curse began to drive the maidens insane. They are now sheltered in the labyrinth beneath the town and are abducting young girls from the town and killing everyone who tries to go into the labyrinth to stop them. The only apparent way to release them from the curse of the rings is to steal the maidens' virginities from them, and the only man up to this job is, of course, Rance.
