J-Novel Club publishes the light novel in English and describes the plot as follows:
After being expelled from the Concord of the Tribes, Light is betrayed by the comrades he once trusted. Barely surviving, he plunges into the deepest layer of the Abyss—the realm’s most lethal dungeon. To stave off death, he relies on his unique ability, the Unlimited Gacha. Once thought useless, the skill now summons Mei, a stunning Level 9999 maid warrior. Three years later, Light has built his own dominion in the dungeon, commanding an army of loyal Level 9999 allies. With his power as an Overlord now absolute, he rises to the surface to take vengeance on those who wronged him.
