As I opened the app, a text appeared.

- WELCOME TO THE SUBMISSION ACCELERATOR! -

- INSTRUCTIONS -

Every person in this world has a "submission counter". This number shows how submissive people are towards you. Normally this number stays fairly stable after a few days of getting to know each other, but by using this app, you can start changing the number very fast.

By clicking on this app, you have already activated it, so the following passive elements are now in use:

1. You will gain submission points on people when they obey your orders.

2. No person can decrease the amount of submission you have on them anymore.

Every person is ranked from -100 to +100 in regards of their submission towards you. This is an easy shorthand on how to read their current personality:

-100 to -80 = This person will not take commands from you unless they literally have no other choice. They are more likely to get enjoyment out of bossing you around.

-80 to -60 = This person is very unlikely to listen to your commands. The person assumes that they are in command of your relationship, and don't consider your opinions important.

-60 to -40 = You can sometimes get this person to listen to your commands. This person thinks it is unusual every time you don't obey them.

-40 to -20 = This person obeys your commands sometimes, but won't do it happily. Thinks it's more natural for them to be the leader.

-20 to 0 = This person doesn't prefer to take commands from you. The person considers themselves to be the more dominant in the relationship.

0 to 20 = This person is more likely to take commands from you. The person considers you to be the more dominant in the relationship.

20 to 40 = This person prefers to take commands from you. They think of you as the one more suitable to be the leader.

40 to 60 = This person enjoys taking commands from you. Has sometimes trouble deciding things for themselves, without your opinion.

60 to 80 = This person gets sexual pleasure from taking commands from you. The person is almost afraid to make their own decisions anymore.

80 to 100 = The person is completely bound to you, and is willing to do almost anything you order. Is basically too afraid to make their own decisions that have anything to do with pleasing you.

- HOW TO GAIN SUBMISSION POINTS -

You gain submission points from people by giving them orders and commands. Every time they obey, their submission grows. Orders and commands do not have to be verbal.

Note: This app will not help you gain dominance instantly. If you order someone to do something right now, they are as likely to obey as they were before you started using this program. However, as their submission grows after successful orders, it's of course then more easy to get them to obey and get more submission points.

However, the number of points gained is tied to to their current submission number and other factors. Anything that subjects consider to be 'stepping over another boundary', is disliked by them, or humiliating, gets more points than normal. This list is not exhaustive.

For example, if a person has -63 submission points (SP), and you successfully command them to bring you a coffee, this will result in some points based on how humiliating this person finds this command to be. But if, for example, you give the same order to a person who has +70 submission already, and has already done more humiliating orders for you, this would probably gain you no more points.

This seems like a funny scam. I wonder when it'll ask me to pay in some crypto. I clicked around in the app and immediately found a tab with 4 women: Amber, Beth, Christine, Donna. I didn't even have the phone number of the latter two, how could the app know this? I clicked on Amber's profile and the app itself didn't seem to make a lot of sense internally. It simply said Amber +90SP. Actually, it was slowly increasing to +98SP. But that wouldn't even make sense by the app's own logic, right? I could make her do almost anything if the app was to be believed. And why would these points just grow on their own?

Something was off with Amber, but the rest at least make sense. Beth -70SP, as expected of a boss, I guess. Christine -55SP, I am the new coworker after all. Donna -12SP, if the app was to be believed, that means her invitation was earnest. The counter also seemed to shake or vibrate a little? Wait, the app said that submission normally fluctuates in the first few days. I guess she was supposed to reach Christine's level after my rejection, before the app prevented it?

I was still hesitant. How couldn't I be? I can't exactly going around my new job and order people to do things for me that I expect go too far, right? I clicked through the app, and found a notification setting. Better turn notifications off, before someone sees them on my screen. Below that was an option to enable mental notifications, I clicked it out of curiosity. I saw a small textbox appear as if I was wearing an AR headset, notifying me that Donna's SP are currently being prevented from being increased. Interesting.

I left the stall pretty quickly after washing my hands, because even if the app was somehow right about everyone besides Amber, it doesn't really help me research or write articles. I went back to my desk.

"Hey James", I heard Amber approaching from behind "Do you wanna come over to my place after work tomorrow? It's a three minute walk away from here, I'd like to catch up on old times with you." "Yeah sure why not, that sounds fun."

I checked our text messages and it really was a while. Six weeks since she last wrote me, and after that she stopped and my life was too busy. But I know hers is, too. That's why I never really want to bother her. But if she invited me today, maybe she wants to do something together again? I hope chatting with her and getting home won't take too long, I can't afford takeout too many times right now.
