Voidslayer, having the ability to converse with Val, asked him, "Where is this?"

Val shrugged, "I don't know."

Voidslayer paused, "You don't know? What kind of response is this?"

Val sighed, "Uh, well, let's just say I got sent here with a promise. A promise to become stronger if I survive and overcome the difficulties that I am to face here. The trials won't be easy, but the rewards promised are worth the risk."

"So, it's like a dungeon where you get rewarded for completing it," Voidslayer summarized, trying to make sense of Val's words. 

At its words, Val nodded, "You can think of it like that. But instead of getting a random reward, I would advance my wizardry if I manage to complete the dungeon."

Voidslayer was silent for a moment before asking, "How did you get here?"

"That's a secret," Val responded with a smirk.

"There are secrets between us now?" Voidslayer asked, its tone filled with playful reproach.
