Chapter 3.

"3% unlocked," Vylania said to herself with minor frustration, "I'm stuck on this god-forsaken planet with 3% of my Mana unlocked and their technology is primitive."

Vylania sighed once again and summoned a Flesh-eater, "Animals don't provide as much life force as a sentient being does, but drastic times call for drastic measures." Vylania said as she unleashed all 10,000 of her Flesh-eater, "Go feast on any living being besides your brethren."

"If I do succeed in unlocking 10% of my Mana, there is an infinitely small chance that I may be able to create a spatial vortex," Vylania said as she put her hand on her chin, "But in doing so I would use all of my Mana and a bit of my own life force, incredibly high risk and possibly higher reward..."

While Vylania was in deep thought, her Flesh-eaters were devouring everything they came across down to the bone. Their numbers multiplied as they continued to fist and their initial 10,000 turned into 1 million after devouring a large number of creatures, though not enough to destroy an ecosystem, not yet.

"Wait, why don't I just forcibly evolve Qahraxis and Venoria with Mana?" Vylania facepalmed herself, "This planet and its lack of real intelligent beings is making me stupid." Vylania jumped off of Qahraxis's head and told the two giant insects to stand in front of her.

"This may or may not work, the chances of this working go up exponentially if my Mana was 10% unlocked but I have to try, if it works I may be able to evolve one of them into a space-faring creature." Vylania sighed deeply and placed her hand on Qahraxis's and Venoria's abdomen. A magic circle was created and she began pouring her Mana into their bodies, causing them to writhe in pain.

"I know it hurts and I'm sorry but if it works, it would benefit all of us." Vylania deeply apologized as she watched them writhe in pain. After 10 minutes of this procedure, Qahraxis burrowed himself underground and Venoria wrapped herself inside a cocoon.

"Phew, while they do that, I think it's about time I call back my little critters," Vylania said with a laugh and she called back her Flesh-eaters. Their number of 1 million further increased to 3.5 million, creating a large cloud of black. The Flesh-eaters swirled around Vylania as they entered every orifice of her body and soon they disappeared.

"Now to collect the harvest," Vylania sat down and began turning the life force into Mana. Vylania's body expelled so much energy that it was beginning to affect the environment around her. After 6 hours of absorption, Vylania opened her eyes.

"Maybe I was wrong about this planet's fauna. It may be due to the sheer number of Flesh-eaters, but I've accumulated enough life force to unlock 8% of my Mana," Vylania clenched her fist to test her newfound strength, "Soon I'll be able to leave this planet, and truly begin my revenge."

Vylania looked at Venoria's giant cocoon and still could feel Qahraxis underground, "These two aren't finished yet, I guess I'll meditate and let my Flesh-eaters go to work in the meantime." Vylania unleashed all 3.5 million Flesh-eaters and sat down in the lotus position.

[3 days later]

Vylania opened her eyes after feeling Venoria and Qahraxis awaken, "My children are finally done?" Vylania's face lit up with joy as she watched Venoria's cocoon open. Thousands of moths came out of the cocoon and Venoria's figure was revealed. Venoria was three times as large as before and gained 2 extra pairs of wings. Her legs also seemed to be covered in a black carapace and looked especially sharp.

"How beautiful you have become," Vylania exclaimed as she rubbed Venoria's head, making the titanic moth coo and making Vylania surprised with the voice she heard in her mind, "Tank You, Mothor!"

Vylania was almost brought to tears as she hugged Venoria's body, "You can speak! I didn't think you would gain telepathic speech with your first evolution! I'm so proud!" Vylania exclaimed making Venoria shake her body in joy.

"Your brother is late..." Vylania said just as Qahraxis bursted out of the ground. What came out of the ground wasn't a giant centipede but a titanic centipede dragon, with wings.

"What the hell?" Vylania was confused about Qahraxis's evolution, she thought he would just become a bigger centipede. Qahraxis's carapace turned black and he gained an extra pair of eyes along with gain three pairs of dragonfly wings, an actual head, sharper teeth, a nose, and two large horns.

"I DID IT! I'M THE BEST!" Qahraxis yelled into Vylania's mind which shocked her again, "Not only did her evolve into a centipede-dragon hybrid thing, but he also gained telepathic speech in the first evolution as well? I believe I'm underestimating myself, this planet's fauna, and my children a bit too much," Vylania whispered to herself with a small laugh.

Qahraxis flew around in the sky before coming to greet Vylania, "Did you see mother? Did you? Did you? I did it! I did the thing! I did it!" Qahraxis excitedly said which put a smile on Vylania's face, "Yes, I saw it, honey."

"Al-RIGHT!!" Qahraxis mentally yelled and physically roared, shaking the ground below them and making the wind blow.

"Now that you two have gotten a powerup, it's mommy's turn, again," Vylania said with a smile as she willed her Flesh-eaters to return. 3 days ago their numbers were 3.5 million and now they increased to 250 million, 250 million insects of pure destruction. They entered Vylania's body and she quickly sat down to convert the life force into Mana.

The amount of life force that was being converted began to drastically affect the environment. The clouds above them began to collect and lightning and thunder were seen and heard. The ground below Vylania's violently rumbled and the ocean's waves turned violent. The wind began to funnel around Vylania creating a transparent tornado. This weather continued for six days until Vylania was finally finished.

"15%. I've unlocked 15% of my Mana!" Vylania had a hungry grin on her face, "My revenge starts now."
