Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon: My Trusted Companions Tried to Kill Me, but Thanks to the Gift of an Unlimited Gacha I Got LVL 9999 Friends and Am Out for Revenge on My Former Party Members and the World (信じていた仲間達にダンジョン奥地で殺されかけたがギフト『無限ガチャ』でレベル9999の仲間達を手に入れて元パーティーメンバーと世界に復讐&『ざまぁ! 』します!, Shinjite Ita Nakama-tachi ni Dungeon Okuchi de Korosarekaketa ga Gift "Mugen Gacha" de Level 9999 no Nakama-tachi o Te ni Irete Moto Party Member to Sekai ni Fukushū & "Zamā!" Shimasu!) is a Japanese light novel series written by Shisui Meikyō and illustrated by tef.
The series started serialization on the online platform Shōsetsuka ni Narō in April 2020 and was later acquired by Hobby Japan for a print release in May 2021, with a manga adaptation by Takafumi Ōmae being published by Kodansha since May 2021. Both series were licensed for an English-language release, with J-Novel Club publishing the light novel series and Seven Seas Entertainment publishing the manga series.
The series follows Light, a human adventurer who was member of the adventurers group "Gathering of Tribes" in order to fight discrimination against human race. One day, Light was betrayed by his fellow group members left to die in a dungeon called the Abyss. Infuriated by this act, Light swore to take revenge against them for betraying and leaving him behind.
The world is inhabitated by nine tribes: Dragon people, demons, ghouls, dwarves, elves and dark elves, beast men, centaurs and lastly humans, with the latter ones being the weakest of all. Even though, there are humans which receive a special power, known as "gift", once reaching the age of 10 years.
Light is a human adventurer bestowed with the gift of "unlimited gacha" allowing him to summon an endless amount of cards to support his comrades. He is a member of the Gathering of Tribes, an adventurer group consisting out of dragon kin Draggo, the elf Sasha, the dark elf Shion, beast man Garuu, the dwarf Naano, the centaur Center, the ghoul Diablo and Oboro from the demon race. Seemingly, the group was formed to fight against the discrimination against humanity.
One day, when Light had to be saved in the world's most dangerous dungeon known as the "Abyss" the members revealed to Light that he is no longer a member of the adventurers group and the sole purpose of the group was observing him for being a potential "master" candidate. It is said that the master is a being with the power of overruling the world and destroying civilization. As Light only was able to summon useless cards they decided to classify him not as a threat, to get rid of him and disguise his death as a monster ambush. Before Garuu was able to hit the final blow Light managed to activate a teleportation trap by accident which transports him to the deepest part of the dungeon. As his wounds attracts the attention of numerous monsters he uses his gift in frustration in hope to summon something to distract the threat. He summons the seeker maid Mei, a SUR card, who is able to defeat the monsters with only one blow. Mei reveals to Light that he was able to summon her due to the density of magic in this place and that his summons until now where useless because of the lack of magic on surface. On her question how he was able to reach the deepest part of the dungeon to summon her, Light told her his story of how he was betrayed and nearly killed by his former comrades. Hearing this, Mei offered to support him in his plans to take revenge on those who betrayed him.
For the next three years, Light spends his time and power to build an underground base in the Abyss and decides to return to the surface of the world to start his revenge against his former comrades. When on the way to his hometown he has to see it completely destroyed and people being massacred including his parents. He witnessed other races enslave humans, using them in horrendous experiments or killing them just for fun. So, Light decides to enlarge his revenge to all other races to free humans from enslavement and discrimination as well as to search for his siblings who seemingly have survived the attack on his former hometown.
C is a mysterious being that made themselves known while Light was dealing with Naano. Not much is known about C, except they know about Light's quest for vengeance and it's implied by Kaava that C is a Master.
