《Stretch Marks》silence

i used to beg and pray
for my mind to be silent,
even for just a day.
but i am now learning that
maybe silence isn't what i needed.
but instead,
the thick rhythm of poems
beat in my chest and flow
through my head
-silence is overrated

Underworld - Level Up or Die!
A thousand year old succubus has grown tired of devouring men. With the help of a lich lord, she invents a new spell that will allow her to grow more powerful in a much less distasteful manner. Elorion is just your average high school student lazing around during summer break and thinking about bacon. After a solid gaming session, he removes his VR headset to find a monster waiting to kidnap him. He wakes to find that he’s not alone. Nineteen other students have also been taken. The last thing he expects happens next. He is given the ability to use magic and level up! There’s a catch. With his dormant talents unlocked he must grow in power to please his new master. To level up he must face the monsters of the Underworld. If he doesn’t fight he will die. But if he does fight, will he survive?
