Synopsis

In the past, the goddess created nine races. Among them, the weakest and most despised were humans . Light, a young human, believed he had found happiness when he was welcomed by the "Concord of Tribes," a group made up of the nine races. But it was all a passing illusion. What awaited him was the cruelest betrayal of all, deep within the largest and most feared dungeon: the Abyss . Deep within this cursed place, Light discovers the true power of his gift: Unlimited Gacha . From despair, he rises to build the most powerful kingdom in history.

Finally, the light novel debuted in April 2020, and was later adapted into a manga by Takashi Ohmae in 2021. In addition, the publisher J-Novel Club publishes Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon in English in the United States.
