Iziul was sitting on the ground watching intently as one chrysalis hatched and followed by the other.
The first one who came out was a lean bit, the larva that was hyperactive. It was similar to Iziul's body, but thinner and a smaller version.
It also had longer arms and shorter legs, on top of its head was a longer version of Iziul hairlike strands that seemed like sensory body parts.
The next one who came out was the ever silent bit. Unlike its brethren, it had proportional lengths for four long limbs. On its head, instead of a sensory body part, it had two slightly crooked horns protruding upwards.
Both of these bits looked at each other, there was a bout of silence for a moment that was immediately interrupted as the hyperactive bit 'talked' through her thoughts.
"WOOOOOW!!! YOU HAVE HORNS?!?!?! THAT IS SOOOOOO COOOOL?!?!?!" The hyperactive bit screamed from the top of its lungs if it ever had.
"Shut up! You're so noisy!" The other grumpily said through the same thought sharing connection the three of them had.
'Oh?' Iziul gasped as she felt her lower sensory glands twitched for a moment while 'listening' to the two.
Holding the two sensory glands on her left and right, Iziul finally understood the usage of them.
'So these aren't ear-like accessories... so what does my upper hair-like strands do? One of my children has it... I wonder...' Iziul thought while looking at the two bickering.
'Hmm... their personalities are indeed at the opposite poles. I need to find a way to resolve this issue. The presence of a slight discord could turn into rivalry and hatred if left unchecked.'
After a few more seconds, the last chrysalis hatched and a thick and bigger bit came out of it. This bit had thicker limbs and larger frame compared to the others. Compared to Iziul's frame, this bit giant looked like a father.
The two other bits stopped their bickering as they looked at their brethren.
'...' Feeling the gazes, the giant bit shivered and covered its face.
"Cutieeee." Iziul couldn't help but remarked openly as she went to the giant who's three times her height. She then looked at the broken cocoon shells behind it and wondered why it was so big compared to the others who also had various cocoon sizes where in fact, they weaved the same size of chrysalis together.
Shaking her OC tendencies off, Iziul turned her attention back to them and read their information panel that allowed her to see their statuses, but before that she imputed their names first.

'Are they made of gold or something?!?!?' Iziul gasped inwardly seeing how expensive it is for them to just maximize their tier up requirement. She also sighed after remembering that she would also need them to maximize all of their skills as well before they tier up.
Iziul also decided to name them into something more Latin sounding, Curro, Acer and Edur.
In her previous life, Latin was an extinct language, nonetheless, it was known for its elegance and sophisticated form of communication.
During rest time in her military training, Iziul would silently learn Latin language as a form of hobby before studying military books and lectures.
Reading the information on the panels of each kid, Iziul widened her eyes at astonishment since they had quite a few upgrades especially for the intelligence department that made Iziul gasped. "What!?!"
'Sigh... Unfortunately they are defected... welp, nothing can do about it.' Iziul sighed.
"So... hmmm, how should I call the lot of you..." Iziul thought to herself.
"You can call us all cutie, mum." Curro said through some sort of telepathy.
"..." Iziul looked at Curro silently.
"H-How did you talked to me..?" Iziul looked at Curro intently. It was shocking for her to hear Curro talked since he was just a newborn grub that evolved in just a whole day's time.
"Hmm... I think through these organs on the side of my face, mum? I dunno..." Curro responded then held them.
"I agree, these body parts allows us to send our thoughts telepathically to convey our message to the same race. They are sending a specific frequency of brain waves only Bits can understand." Acer said while nodding his head with a stoic expression.
"..." Edur on the otherhand watched them silently.
Iziul couldn't contain it and bursted her confusion out.
"HOW DID YOU KNOW THESE STUFFS?!?! AND WHY ARE YOU CALLING ME MUM, CURRO???"
"Oh... Hmm... I dunno... I just 'know' you're my mum... also I know a bit of your memories... hehe." Curro rested its hand on its chin and pondered about the question, then giggled. His gesture made Iziul narrowed her eyes and scrunched her non-existent eyebrows.
"Based on my understanding, mum. This informations are 'autonomous data' that is installed in our brain the moment we tier up to Tier 1. Our understanding is also depended on the 25% of Queen-type monster's Intelligence stat bonus that we received. I assume that you have a high stat value that's why we received 99 intelligence stat points when we tier up. Also, our memories are merged with some snippets of your memories, it might be specific snippets that are based on our evolutionary pathways. For me, the snippets I received are your memories of training for Military? Some sort of special galactic action force? Also, I automatically received your knowledge about languages and communication... maybe that's why we can talk." Acer answered as Iziul sighed and nodded her head.
"Me too, I received memories of you doing acrobatic and intense movements, THAT WAS COOL MUM! TEACH MEEEE!!!" Curro said while jumping from excitement.
"... me too... I received the memories of training for special galactic action force." Edur said silently and shyly.
Iziul looked at them and tried to swallow the information.
"I see..." Pondering on what to say next, Iziul asked them. "So... since you all have my memory, or snippets of my memories, how should I... identify you kiddos? His or Her?"
"His." Acer said without emotion.
"Hmmmmmm... I'm fine with anything, but I also prefer his. So His."
"...h-his mum..."
"Okay, that's settled then." Sitting down on the ground, Iziul asked them.
"So, mind telling 'mum' about the information you all know about our situation?" Since they had her memories, she thought that calling her 'mum' like how she did before isn't something surprising anymore. They are indeed her children now and calling her mum also made her feel happy and nostalgic.
'Cute.'

Monsters are a collective group of races that are classified through the system they use. Unlike humans, monsters have cores inside their bodies that stores their racial information and mana points that differentiates them from human's Body meridian features.
Monsters, unlike humans, can't level up through killing and cultivating mana energies. They can only tier up through the constant accumulation of Geno Points that they gain from eating monster flesh and use these points to maximize the potentials of their physiques or bloodlines. But unlike to the human system who can directly use EXP to Level up, monstersI need more time to internalize the Geno Points they accumulated.
In every 5 tiers, a monster enter an evolution state that is accompanied by a tribulation lightning to test their evolution pathway after. Failure of enduring this test will cause them instant death while success would mean that they are recognized by the system as a new variant of their race or a new species all together.
Then for every 10 tiers they enter a Sky and will receive a halo that gives them bonuses in their stats.
For Queen-type and spawn-type monsters, the evolution system, tier up and sky up are greatly depended on to the queen. The Queen's highest tier is the tier cap limit for her spawn monsters. If the queen doesn't tier up, the tier cap limit for spawn monsters wouldn't change, limiting their potential growth.
And for tribulation lightnings, only queens are able to experience this since they are the main monster of the race. Any changes on her physique and racial line will cause a domino effect to her spawns and will allow them to tier up without worrying about tribulations.
It might sound unfair but spawn monsters are technically fragments of their queens, there are under the control of the main monster and will die immediately when the queen dies. But when spawn monster dies, its fate doesn't affect the queen other than losing a spawn to control.
