How about a challenge?

"Well, I'll tell you this Golthuem, you certainly know how to make an offer," I say.

"But of course! I am a giver of gifts! What use would I be if no one took them?"

"True."

"So, Mr. Baker. Have you had any thoughts on what you would like?"

"I have," I say, leaning back to look the being in the face.

"And?"

"First of all, I want my method of control to be an Anchor. It seems like the most fun out of all of them."

"Really? Not many people pick that one."

"Well, call me a trendsetter then. And I'd like Conditioned Slaves."

"Alright. 2 points down, 12 to go. May I ask why that particular type struck your fancy?"

"You'll see. Now for my Boons. It's a bit of a long list. In no particular order, Sensitivity, Charm, Orgasm Control, Libido, Normalize, Cum Addiction, Stretchy, Rewrite Memory, Tireless Servant and Induce Fetish."

"That is indeed a long list! And also 10 more points, leaving you with only 2 left. Dare I hope you intend to take my Pact, Mr. Baker?"

"I'd accuse you of reading my mind were that not readily apparent. But yes, I will indeed."

It's not often someone sees an Eldritch Abomination pump its arms like a gleeful child. I'd almost call it cute if it weren't so terrifying.

"Alright! Yes! And that will be 3 more points to your total, putting you at 5 unspent." Goltheum says, a giddy expression on his tentacled face.

"Well then as for my powers, I of course pick Planeswalker. There are far too many worlds filled with far too many unenslaved beautiful women."

"Right you are!"

"Though I should ask, you don't mind if I use this power to give you exact duplicates of some of the slaves I collect, do you?"

"Not at all! As long as they meet my standards, of course."

"Of course. As for other Powers, I'd like Telekinesis and Alchemy."

"I see. That leaves you 5 points in the hole though. You'll need to take a few drawbacks."

"I know. I'll be selecting them now. First of all, Deus Vult and The Abyss."

"Really? You are putting yourself in quite a bit of danger. Speaking from experience, those Abyss Girls can be quite a handful."

"I figured as much, but what is life without a bit of danger?" I say with a smile, "Also, I'd like **** Limit."

Goltheum's eyes widened.

"Really? You want me that? Why?!"

"You did ask why I wanted Conditioned Slaves. This is it. It's also why most of my Boons give me a way to manipulate my slaves into breaking even faster. It's also why I picked Alchemy, so that I could apply my boons to the people I haven't enslaved. It's almost too easy."

"That is... fucking brilliant! I love it!"

"Though you might," I say with a smile and a wink.

"Alright, let's tally up. You spent 1 point on Control, 1 point on **** Type, and a whopping 10 points on Boons. That puts you at 12 spent. You then spent 10 more on powers, putting you at 22 points spent, and 8 in debt. Then you took My Pact, putting you only 5 in debt. Then, with Abyssal Girls and Deus Vult, you go down to only 2 in debt. Add in **** limit and you are left with... well well, exactly at 0."

"Sounds right to me."

"Alright then. And now for your freebie. Fukawa? She seems to be a favorite. Maybe Mary? Melissa? Oooo, maybe Zynthia?" He asks.

I give him a wry look, "You couldn't pay me to take Zynthia off your hands. Or well, I suppose you could. But even then, I'd be hesitant."

"Damn! Thought I might finally be rid of her."

"Why not just put her in some empty pocket dimension. She can't die anyway, right? Out of sight, out of mind."

"I tried that once. Once."

"I see. In any case, no, not Zynthia. In fact, none of them."

"Really? None?"

"None. As much as they seem nice, I like the idea of working for my slaves. It's less fun when they're just given to me."

"Well then. Have it your way."

The eldritch entity held out one of its four massive arms. With unshaking determination, I took it.

"And thus the pact is sealed. Rise, Micheal Baker, Mindlaver Extraordinaire."
