Failure of a Fighter, Hopeful of a Lover

***Failure of a fighter, Hopeful of a Lover*** Is the first chapter in Shunder Comics Vol. 1 created and written by Khaliq Trevor X.

## Synopsis

Dr. Grippe believes he’s not suitable for fighting due to his many losses in conflicts against the Lost God of Rage Nomad Bradley and his friends. Believing to be more suitable for loving, he focuses on the beauty of women, his desires and actions to acquire a long-term relationship. When he finds a profile revolving around Cait La Newland in his database, he becomes increasingly infatuated with her, including her history, powers and counterparts Draya Freeman and Faith Jackson… But not quite as much as he is with Newland. In order to successfully win her over, Dr. Grippe travels to Worthyzone Kingdom on Earth where he contemplates every known method of winning her over including mind control if all else fails. After arriving, he winds up becoming instated as an employee rather than a random stranger with no real interest besides Newland.

Grippe’s efforts are tested when he’s immediately assigned as an employee at a station inside the kingdom. He works directly under a veiled woman known as the Fear Ambassador. She does not like the odd Dr. Grippe whom is making it fairly obvious about his infatuation over Cait Newland. Fear Ambassador believes in work and a day’s work done, not *romances.* She later plots to *ruin* Grippe and have him terminated, but along the way, Grippe discovers her tactics and ultimately foils Fear Ambassador, leaving the woman to report to an ominous entity named Hinder. As Grippe searches for Newland, he finds no sight of her and as a result mopes alone in the break room. He’s joined by a goon named Herring, Herring has been crushing on Newland since he began working around her. This gives Grippe hope that Newland is still in the building somewhere but he’s not certain. Herring however, does not like Grippe’s crush and grows envious when he learns that Grippe is desperately seeking out Cait Newland. The two, while at differences decide to help one another find Newland.
