Don’t Work In Pick Department Volume 1 1

***Don’t Work In Pick Department Volume 1 1*** is the first chapter in Don’t Work In Pick Department Volume 1 created and written by Khaliq Trevor X.

## Synopsis

In another universe, the Rage Knights once engaged the super Diseased known as Stop-Aventeer in a disastrous battle after the creature emerged from a cocoon sent from a foreign planet. The creature was defeated, but his legend still rings among the voices of Worthyzone kingdom and much of the world! Pick masters and operators gather to hold a meeting in regards to the Rage Knights and the increasing population of Diseased. Legendary processor Sumrok proposes they feed members of the group to the Diseased and thus, each goon, processor and king/queen of the kingdom searches for a Summon Rune in an attempt to begin summoning the infamous Rage Knights. However, it is uncertain on what will arrive to their kingdom.

Meanwhile Kurmon Bradley and Kergorias the Chirothulian Rage God boast and pride themselves over the strange light armor clothing known as Blood of All Ker Worship. The attire was developed by Bradley over a decade ago during his time as an Indy Hills High student, where he made adjustments over the years to amplify his red magic and gradual transformation into Kerdur Rainer. A mysterious yellow aura pulls both Bradley and Kergorias from their world and sends them to Worthyzone, where they meet a version of the beautiful Zayda Rodriguez as well as a number of strange characters. A mischievous Gossip King attempts to steal Bradley’s Rage Sword, as it runs across the building. Bradley confronts Cue Danita and Slayegod who sneer and dismiss Bradley as “a fake copy” of Damon Bradley, whom they deem “ugly guy nobody likes”. Bradley ignores the two and chases after his weapon but Slayegod becomes piqued by Bradley’s appearance and warns the entire Pick Department about his entrance.

Throughout the building, goons and operators pay tribute to the likes of Jeredith the Offensive and Lou Jacobs. Both operators were heavily regarded as Worthyzone legends and known for their exploits in collecting Diseased Cores and forging new pathways for the Worthy Guard forces. Kergorias insults the managers and deems them “creeps”, but his insults reverberate and both he and Kurmon Bradley are targeted by engineers and pardoners. The latter of which generally find items across the building. When Bradley realizes pardoners may have the Rage Sword inside the cages of the kingdom, he and Kergorias detour throughout the magnetized field in search for the Gossip King. They eventually run into a droid that moves on its own, as the two warriors deactivate it with their magic powers, the destroyed droid reveals a lone woman standing at the furthest end of the field.

Kurmon questions the woman about the whereabouts of the Rage Sword, but she insists that he and Kergorias *work* in Pick Department to find out.
