I Am the Flower of Mana: Raising Beasts to Become Overlord

Lin Ye, a modern-day office drone, dies from staying up all night gaming. When he opens his eyes, he finds he has become a Mana Flower rooted in the ruins, and not just any flower, but a "dud" with no connection to the Mana ecosystem. He can think and "see" by sensing his surroundings through his petals, but he cannot move. His only ability is a "Gestation Slot," which can consume a tiny amount of life-source essence to hatch Fanged Beasts.
