thrown to the bottom of the Abyss, the deadliest dungeon in the world. With
barely any life, he resorts to his only magical ability: the Unlimited
Gacha. What once only generated garbage, now summons Mei, an
imposing level 9999 warrior dressed as a maid.
Three years
later, Light has formed his own kingdom in the depths of the dungeon,
surrounded by loyal elite fighters. Turned into an all-powerful lord, he plans
to return to the surface to exact revenge against those who betrayed him.
