Light comes into the story as a 12-year-old boy from a poor farmer family but was invited to an adventurer party featuring all the world's races as the Token Human and going on adventures. His fellow adventurers treated him kindly because of his Gift "Unlimited Gacha" and because of how miserable the humans are treated, and how strong his "companions" are, Light had no choice but to believe it was sincere. Then the party reached [Abyss], the deepest and "most evil" dungeon. At the moment they get through the entrance, the rest of the party openly mocks him, calling him "idiotic" for daring to believe their kindness was genuine, and attack him, trying to kill him. The only reason he had a chance was because they wanted to torture him for fun first. As he's fleeing, he triggers a teleportation trap that transports him to the very bottom of the dungeon, which is too deep for even his so-called companions to reach. There he soon encounters a level 5000 Cerberus, while his level's only in the double digits. Desperately trying to survive, he activates his Gift, despite so far producing lacklustre results such as "rusty fork" and "moldy bread." To his surprise, out pops the level 9999 maid, Mei, who proceeds to reduce the monster to paste in a single blow and then turns to swear loyalty to him. It takes him three years to make his way out of the dungeon and back home... only to find his entire village wiped out "just in case" with his brother and sister having gone missing, everyone else dead, to the last child. So he goes back and spends the next two years building up his strength and plotting revenge.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 WorldOther names 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!/ Shinjiteita Nakama-tachi ni Dungeon Okuchi de Korosarekaketa ga Gift "Mugen Gacha" de Level 9999 no Nakama-tachi wo Te ni Irete Moto Party Member to Sekai ni Fukushuu & "Zamaa!"

Crapsack World: Especially for humans. All the other races see humans as cheap labor to abuse, at best, there are monsters and dungeons to fear everywhere, and life is short and hard.

Break the Haughty: Light's favorite way to dispense justice to his enemies is to first trample their superiority complex to the ground, and then he gets serious.

Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
 Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon / int_30d2ae29
comment
Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: From what little has been revealed, one of the reasons the other races fear "Masters" so much is they have a tendency to protect/avenge the human race. The fact that their constant abusing and oppressing humans might be what Causes them to do so never seems to occur to them.

Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole
 Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon / int_5663a595
comment
Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: Downplayed. In the Sasha revenge arc, an elven adventuring party goes after Dark and crew for some kind of unstated grudge, where they attacked him first and he scared them off with some kind of ice spell. The incident itself is never shown in the manga, but the arrogant elf party ignores Dark's warnings and chases his party right into Mera's waiting mouth, with their own "don't even bother surrendering and pleading for your life" rants thrown right back at them.

Fantastic Racism: Up to eleven and breaking the knob trying to turn it higher. With the exception of the dwarf race, all the non-humans have such an insane superiority complex that they're outright genocidal to humans, for being "inferior."

 Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon / int_8f612013
comment
Token Good Teammate: To date, the only non-human race shown with any decency is the dwarve race, as they at least operate on Enlightened Self-Interest. They don't care if adventurers, merchants, etc. are human or not, only if they're competent at what they do. When Dark and party bring in dwarf bandits preying on human merchants, the dwarf government actually punishes the bandits, for messing with the delivery of goods. When word reaches the dwarf leadership that humans are getting murdered in the local dungeon, the top brass goes into full alert and issues a bounty on any information that might lead to apprehending the culprit(s), as messing with the dungeon's adventurers, regardless of race, seriously threatens the local economy.

Laser-Guided Karma
 Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon / int_90e31482
comment
Laser-Guided Karma: For the entire elf race! As he's going after Sasha, Light inevitably comes across the elf kingdom, and notices how horrid the humans, all slaves, are treated, with every last elf, down to the last child, treating the humans as punching bags, at best, while spouting a bunch of Green Aesop like they're going out of style, and proclaiming that the world would be better off if humans didn't exist, thus ending their filthy pollution. As part of a massive Xanatos Gambit, Light arranges a scheme of instant and total Slave Liberation, taking every last human out of the elven country. In less than a week, the elves realize the "pollution" they were complaining about is their own filth and refuse, and without any human slaves to clean up after them, they don't know how to deal with it, the stench bringing in mice, rats, and other vermin, and spreading disease. Light is amused at How the Mighty Have Fallen.

comment
Long Title: This title is 39 words and 208 characters long, which means it breaks this wiki's maximum title length (64 characters) thrice. Not even Seven Seas Entertainment is capable of putting the full title on its website, having the title cut off after "Revenge." Amazon's policy with this series is identical to this wiki's, only calling it Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon.

Judge, Jury, and Executioner: Justified. Light always lays down summary judgement on his non-human enemies whenever they engage in hate-crimes against humans. The humans are too weak to deliver justice, and the criminals' native races never will, so it's always up to Light to do it.

Hate Crimes Are a Special Kind of Evil: Much as he wants revenge on his former "companions," Light will always put that on the back-burner when a human "inferior" gets victimized by one of the "better" races for laughs, and the vigilante justice he delivers is especially cruel.

comment
Loot Boxes: Referred to, as Japanese gamers usually call their equivalent "gacha." The protagonist's Gift is this fantasy world's equivalent of a lifetime free pull of loot boxes, which, as it is shown at the beginning of the story, isn't necessarily very useful, since it doesn't modify the loot box system's odds ratios. It's only after his banishment that he identifies the exact conditions when he can override those odds altogether, making it a Story-Breaker Power.
