Vending Machine Fatalities

He died in a war he never believed in, a soldier buried nameless beneath foreign soil. Then he woke up in a Japanese man body. Soft hands. Pretty face. Heart still beating. Now going by Riku Fukuda, but never forgetting the name Seo Jun-ho, he drifts through a city that feels too clean, too quiet. The kind of quiet that hums beneath the skin. The system appeared without warning. No grand tutorial. No god. Just a screen — stats, skills, quests. Each skill earned brings power. And each step forward calls the strange to his side. Shadows in the mirror. Whispers in vending machines. Crows that remember. The stronger he becomes, the more the world unravels.

For years, Han Yoo-jin was just another cog in the machine of Korea’s biggest entertainment agency, his eye for true talent ignored and his career stalling. But when he suddenly gains the ability to see a person's potential as a stat screen, the jaded manager realizes the machine is about to have a new master.

hey my name is Kael Astorion Reinhardt.. So... I died. Yep. Real heroic. Real tragic. Saved someone. Got betrayed. Ten out of ten. Would not recommend. Now I’m reborn into a noble family I don’t remember joining, with a system that has the personality of a vending machine during a power outage. And the best part? I'm somehow engaged to multiple noble girls because of family oaths made before I could even walk. But hey—don’t overthink it. That’s my job. Yours is to read. I could explain more, but where’s the fun in that? Just open Chapter One. Laugh. Cry. Panic slightly. Then wonder why you’re addicted. Seriously. Stop reading the synopsis. Go read the book. Trust me—I live here now...... .... ....

Deserted. Ripped from his family. Thrown into a facility where being human is a crime, and survival means obedience. This is the White Room — a place designed not to teach, but to erase. A machine that grinds down children into tools. Weapons. Puppets without emotion. He was supposed to be just another product — another number. But something inside him refuses to die. Now, as the system begins to turn him into a killer, he faces a choice: Become their perfect weapon... or burn their whole world down.

The setting for this fantasy is an Earth governed by machines, with humans relegated to a slave race. The story assumes that, as there are degrees of intelligence, there are degrees of consciousness, and the only true and complete consciousness is of the type generated by a human mind. A giant robot with a human brain, a boy destined for greatness, and three former resistance heroes join together to fight the tyrannical rule of intelligent machines on Earth. The machines are too powerful to defeat in battle, but 'The Tribus,' mystical entities who inhabit an isolated plateau high up in the Andes mountains, offer a way for humans to escape their subjugation.. The story is set two thousand years in the future, when it is known that we inhabit a multiverse with various alternative realities and time zones. AI is intent on the future colonisation of the entire universe, and biological entities are either destroyed or enslaved as menials. The Tribus believe that machines have no divine right to rule in a universe born of mind but have previously refused to advocate violence in the defence of consciousness. They now know that AI and humans can never co-exist, and it must be an evolutionary battle to the death to decide the dominant species.

“You shall command… Legacy.” Charon thought he would grow up to be a hero, a savior, a shining light for all humans across the galaxy. But humanity is at war. Beset on all sides, their empire is standing only through the combined forces of technology and magic. Massive mechs were constructed, the fabled Colossus Machines, designed to defend the galaxy. The Mages were rallied, bringing forth elemental destruction. Yet it wasn't enough. Planets fell, their people enslaved to the enemies of mankind. Even the Colossus Machines, strong as they were, could not keep up. Charon was one of the orphans caught in the war effort, surviving through determination and courage, earning him the gaze of the God of Death. Gifted with a great and terrible power, the reviled element Soul, the dead around him suddenly become gateways into a realm thought lost to time. Through it, he can chain undead beasts to himself, forcing them to serve in his legions. With these powers, he learns something new about magic and technology: He can fuse souls into the Colossus Machines, allowing the power of Death to run through their cores. They become warped, twisted machines of vengeance that earn malevolent abilities. They become strong enough to win a war. Magic and machine are mixed to create something more, something darker. An army fit for a master of magic, a general of legions, a conqueror of the stars... An Archon of Death. **WARNING** The story has a lot of nuance and subplots. If you like complex world-building and lore, you'll love this. DISCORD: https://discord.gg/BJ3DTumc29

“I’m not saying I’m unlucky, but my school has an evacuation plan with my name on it.” — Elias Elias Graves has always been lucky—ridiculously lucky. The kind of luck that lets him dodge disasters by inches, find money in vending machines, and escape trouble without trying. The problem? That luck seems to come at the cost of everyone around him. After his parents mysteriously vanish, Elias finds himself pursued by a shadowy organization with far too many secrets. In the chaos, he accidentally activates a strange magical artifact—and gains something impossible: the Lucky God System, a mysterious interface that promises strength, skills, and survival… by lucky draws. But as Elias dives deeper into the system’s origins and faces enemies far beyond his level, he begins to question the cost of being chosen and realizes that having good luck was a double edged sword. --- Author Note: First story I'm posting on here. It's a LitRPG, but I wanted to do something different from most stories in the genre. So, it's not a feel good or wish fulfillment novel with mc who builds a harem. I tried to make all the characters have depth including side characters and antagonists. And system is there for more than fulfilling the MC's wishes. Hope you like it. I'll try to post a chapter at least once or twice a week, but if I'm in a groove, I might post way more. Also I'm not my own biggest fan. I'm a perfectionist and reread chapters multiple times after it's been published to check and fix for mistakes. :'( it's easier for me to read it through reader view than editing view.

The world is broken. Gods have grown bored,flesh-metal machines dream of sloughed skin and severed sinew. Souls are just fuel. In the ruins of a war-torn Earth, two figures carve separate paths through madness: Cassiel, a self-loathing wanderer who longs to be a hero but can't escape his own delusions, and Ramiel, a machine forged for war, desperate to find purpose beyond violence. As sinners become prophets, and monstrous gods twist desire into doctrine, Cassiel is forced to confront what heroism truly means, while Ramiel wages war against his creator—the Soul grinder, the living god-machine that birthed him. Their stories orbit a dying world, collapsing inward toward a shared question: if everything is built to destroy, can anything be saved? Story available on Inkitt as well as royal road.

Synopsis: The Order of Shadows and the Legacy of the Shadow Child In the somber kingdom of Lysareth, threatened by a blight of wilting and a deadly insomnia known as "The Unveiling," a ten-year-old orphan named Etan Luwin struggles to find his place. Abandoned at the enigmatic Shadow Gate with a mysterious mark on his left palm, Etan was recruited by the cold and strict Order of Shadows, a brotherhood of spy-mages who view him as a mere tool for his innate abilities to manipulate shadows. Under the tutelage of Master Alaric, Etan masters stealth, the whispers of darkness, and illusions, though each use of his powers brings him closer to the paranoia of the "Echo of the Dark Night," the whispers of the minor demons imprisoned within his mark. Etan's life takes a dark turn when, accidentally, his mark reacts to an ancient parchment, revealing a symbol identical to his own and a chilling connection to the Draining Machine, a legendary artifact threatening to consume the kingdom's life force. This machine is the centerpiece of Veylan Mordrake's plan, the Archon of Shadows, a noble demon obsessed with resurrecting his deceased wife, Elandra, by breaking ancient pacts that maintain the balance between life and death. Now, Etan, the "Shadow Child," must infiltrate Nymorgath, the twisted underground citadel of the Shadow Court, to steal the fragments of the "Umbral Heart" –the Draining Machine's blueprints– guarded by treacherous heroes. Only by mastering his own darkness and the dangerous whispers of his mark can Etan unravel the legacy of his abandonment and prevent Lysareth from being consumed, left... abandoned to death.
