A Wild Last Boss Appeared! is based on the Earth Star Novel light novel series written by Firehead and illustrated by YahaKo, which saw nine volumes released between 2016 to 2019. J-Novel describes the series as:
The year is 2800 and Lufas Maphaahl – The Black-Winged Tyrant, Great Conqueror, and leader of the Twelve Heavenly Stars – has returned. A man wakes up in the body of his MMO character 200 years after her defeat during an player-made event in the game, Exgate Online. Now, he’s stuck in her body. But this isn’t a game, it’s real. With her reign long over, and her legacy one of fear, Lufas must journey through the world of Exgate, looking for answers, possible comrades, and all the monsters her “death” unleashed upon the world…
The light novels also inspired a manga adaptation by Tsubasa Hazuki. The original Shousetsuka ni Narou web novel version of the story started in 2015.
