In a remote dungeon filled with betrayal, the upcoming 2025 anime adaptation of the light novel series “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” is causing a stir. Originally introduced by author Shisui Meikyou on Shōsetsuka ni Narō four years ago, the novel series has gained popularity and is now set to be brought to life on screen.
The plot revolves around a character named Light, who is ousted from the Concord of the Tribes by his supposed allies, leading him to face betrayal. Fleeing to the treacherous depths of the Abyss, Light relies on his magical skill, the Unlimited Gacha, to survive. Instead of the usual items, he summons Mei, a powerful Level 9999 fighter in a maid outfit, who becomes his loyal companion. Over the course of three years, Light builds his own kingdom within the dungeon, amassing a group of fierce warriors to support him. Now a formidable Level 9999 Overlord, Light is determined to seek vengeance against those who wronged him.
The manga adaptation of the series, illustrated by Takashi Ohmae, is being published in English by Seven Seas Entertainment for fans to enjoy.
