When obelisks emerge across the globe, towering over every major city with ominous screens prophesying a stark ultimatum—adapt or perish—Tom, a software developer from Texas, finds himself thrust into a reality where the line between the digital and the physical is irrevocably blurred. In this new, treacherous world, vending machines have evolved into lifelines, serving as miniature, unmanned storefronts equipped to arm humanity's reluctant adventurers. As dungeons surface and monsters claim dominion over Earth, Tom and his band of survivors navigate the perilous ruins of civilization. But when these critical vending machines begin to malfunction, spewing forth corrupted items under the influence of a malevolent entity, their struggle for survival takes a dire turn. With time running out and the shadow of an even greater menace looming on the horizon—space pirates, no less—Tom and his friends must unravel the mystery of the corrupted machines. Their journey will take them through monster-infested wastelands and into the heart of dungeons unknown, where the very fabric of reality seems twisted by the whims of the System. Grand System Vending is a gripping tale set in a post-apocalyptic world where technology and fantasy collide. Join Tom and his companions as they battle not just for their survival, but for the fate of a world teetering on the brink of an even greater cosmic confrontation.
