After meeting an unfortunate end in a traffic accident, I awake to find myself in an unfamiliar setting near a serene lake.

"Get one free with a winner."
It dawns on me that I have been transformed into a vending machine. Limited to the capabilities of a typical vending machine, I face countless challenges ahead.
