I almost forgot again. kek

Oliver grinned happily. "Great."
***
The following morning, took two knives with him and began to stealthily walk towards a cosplay shop since he wouldn't be able to find what he was looking for in a normal clothing shop.
As Oliver arrived at the closest store, he entered the building. Upon entry, he found himself looking at a variety of different cosplays ranging from fantasy characters to horror icons.
With vigor, Oliver searched through racks upon racks of costumes. Most of them were geared toward women. Eventually, he found what he was looking for: a cute maid costume and a collar. Oliver was planning on fueling all the desires he had to restrain before the apocalypse, he was going to make Elisa wear this outfit all the time. Oliver stole several maid costumes and several collars and then he continued sneaking toward another store containing women's underwear.
He plucked panties made from cotton, silk, and lace. Some were white, others red, purple, or blue. Each came with a matching bra and panty sets.
At last, he exited the building with his arms full of packages. Next stop: a lingerie shop.
This place was even better than the previous one. There were shelves filled with sexy underwear. Stockings, thongs, garter belts, garters, bras, panties, babydolls, bodystockings… The list goes on. Of course, many of the items contained erotic images of naked girls or scantily clad men.
It wasn't difficult finding exactly what he needed. From here on, it was simply a matter of selecting which pieces to take.
Once Oliver selected Elisa's new clothes, he took them and carried away the boxes to his apartment.
When Oliver entered his room Elisa greeted him "Welcome back."
"Here are your new clothes," said Oliver while grinning.
"O-okay." She said as she went to the bathroom to switch into her new attire. When she saw what he had bought her, her eyes widened slightly in surprise. But rather than feeling intimidated, she appeared excited instead.
She slipped into her bra and panties. Then, she put on the maid's uniform. It fit perfectly and hugged her figure nicely. In fact, she looked adorable in it.
Finally, she donned the collar around her neck. Her heart pounded excitedly as she did so, maybe she was the type of person that liked being owned?
Suddenly, Elisa returned from the bathroom wearing her maid outfit.
Her hair was done up neatly and tied in pigtails.
"Wow, I really picked the best outfit," Oliver exclaimed.
Elisa blushed faintly at his praise. "Th-thank you..." She responded shyly.
Oliver admired the sight of her standing in front of him. His gaze lingered on the shape of her breasts under the thin fabric of her maid dress. And her legs were perfect too – slender, toned, and smooth.
"Oh right, put these on too." Oliver said as he handed her a pair of white stockings.
Then Oliver took the boxes into the living room and placed them on the sofa.
The only light source in the room was the windows.
After a few minutes, Elisa emerged from the bathroom dressed in an adorable pink maid outfit with white stockings and a cute pink collar.
"Now you are mine."
His tone changed instantly from friendly to domineering.
"Y-yes sir…" She answered meekly, but for some reason, she was blushing. Was this excitement? Or embarrassment?
-Requirements met.-
-Survivors Handbook unlocked-
-Say handbook to open the system-
'Huh?' He blinked twice. 'Did I go insane?' He wondered.
-Manipulation path chosen automatically-
Oliver frowned at the message flashing across the bottom of his vision.
-Starter pack has been given: 300 SP(survival points)-
Oliver was seeing several messages in the corners of his vision without realizing it he mumbled "handbook" and a big screen popped up in his vision.
-300 SP-
-Skills: None-
-Items: None-
-Shop-
Oliver thought that he might as well go along with it and opened the shop.
-Skills for sale: Lesser Suggestion, Dash, Boost, Leap, Lesser Personality Manipulation-
-Items for sale: Knife, Glock, Aphrodisiac-
These skills seem helpful, he thought as he read off the skill names. After reading the descriptions Oliver settled with lesser suggestion, it lets you put a person into a kind of hypnotic state but it can only be used once a day.
-Lesser Suggestion bought-
-220 SP Remaining-
'How do I use skills?' Oliver thought.
-Think of the skill name and will to use it.-
'I didn't expect to get a response.' He muttered.
"Elisa come here." He commanded, trying to sound authoritative.
As Elisa came into arms reach Oliver grabbed her hand and used lesser suggestion. Her face instantly turned slack indicating the skill had worked.
"You will never betray me right?" Oliver said in a commanding tone.
"…right." She agreed while her voice sounded almost robotic.
"And you will always obey my orders, correct?"
"Yes..." Agreed once again.
The color returned to Elisa's face, meaning the skill had worked.
"Kneel." He ordered as he released her hand.
Upon release, Elisa gasped loudly and staggered backward as if drunk. Once she regained control of herself, she quickly kneeled low like a dog obeying its master.
Oliver smiled smugly at his success. He knew that this ability was dangerous yet incredibly useful. Even though Elisa is unaware of it, he could potentially force her to do anything. He imagined that behavioral conditioning would work on everyone eventually. With enough practice, perhaps he can learn how to break people down mentally and build them back up. Who knows? Maybe someday soon, he might actually be capable of creating slaves.
However, there was no need to rush.
"You are so adorable, I am going to keep you as a pet," Oliver said to his kneeling slave. "From now on you are my very own dog."
"Woof!" She barked enthusiastically.
"Very good," he praised.
"Ruff!"
Oliver chuckled as he watched her continue barking. "You are not allowed to walk on your feet in the house, you can only crawl from here on out."
There was something strangely arousing watching Elisa crawling around on all fours. Something primal within him was awoken. A part of him that craved to dominate someone else. Yet, that was not the whole picture either. At times when he gazed into Elisa's beautiful eyes, he felt an intense desire to protect her. To save her. No matter what.
A strange combination of emotions, thoughts, and feelings was brewing inside him. One moment, he wanted to hurt her, and then the next minute, he wanted to make her happy.
Regardless, Oliver decided that he must observe the power of his new abilities further before acting rashly. If he could harness his newfound powers correctly, it would give him a significant advantage over his enemies.
"woof." Elisa barked as if she wanted attention while still kneeling.
Oliver already had plans for the future. First things first, he was going to teach her everything about survival. Until she can survive, she'll stay locked up in his home where she belongs.
If she refuses to follow instructions or becomes disobedient, she'd have to pay the price for disobedience, he won't hesitate to discipline her however he sees fit.
"Elisa, come up on the sofa please."
"Ruff! Woof!" She replied obediently.
Oliver sat beside her and patted her head affectionately. As far as pets went, he supposed this one was pretty cute.
***
For the rest of that evening, Oliver taught her the basics of surviving in a post-apocalyptic world.
First thing after eating dinner, they talked about strategy. They discussed tactics for fighting zombies, learning self-defense, and gathering food and water.
