Synopsis for Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon
A middle-aged man with only one passion in life meets a fitting end in a traffic accident. This is where most stories would end, but instead, this is where his story begins as he is reborn as the thing he admired most in life – a vending machine! But his new start in life couldn’t have happened in the worst possible place – what’s a vending machine to do in a monster-infested dungeon when he can’t speak or even move on his own?
