The room got cold by the conversation between two strangers. They spoke as if they were friends; there was nothing about, maybe, revenge since they went too far in just fighting, and mistakenly, Kai won by using his mind.
During his task to cool down the girl, he was a bit scared, but he actually did it. And if the system gave him a task, he should get a reward.

'Wow, I've earned something. I hope that swordsman skill will become handy.' Kai silently said while sitting, looking at the elf girl who was about to say her name.
She took a deep breath, her eyes gently closed, and then she sighed. Her eyes remained closed, and she opened her mouth and said, "My name is Sophia! I'm a player here, and I guess I can say I make a living here. This world is unknown, but I can just say it's a dungeon. So, welcome to my home!"
Suddenly Kai asked fast, his voice a bit low, "A dungeon?"
"Yes, a dungeon. It's a place where adventurous or skilled people get tasks and get money and many more rewards. I'm kind of adding this life of mine, sorry, because I've taken this place as a dungeon that I heard about." Sophia explained, a simple smile sticking on her face.
"Ohh, so what's a dungeon?"
"It's where monsters and demons live. Monsters and demons are the same thing; I wonder why they differentiated them! As for the wolf guy that you tamed, he's part of the monsters in here!"
"Wait, I didn't tame this guy!" Kai said as he corrected Sophia for getting him to the level of beast taming. "Huh?" Sophia was surprised!
Kai continued and said, "This guy right here was in my tasks, so I touched his head when I was dodging him, but suddenly, my speed of motion stopped and my energy was drained. This guy was blasted away, and as for me, I fell where I touched his head!"
"That's totally part of the beast taming!"
"But I didn't do it!"
"Then why is it so overprotective?"
"I don't know; I've got a screen in my eyes. It told me that beast taming was locked!"
Sophia widened her eyes and asked, "So you are a Solo leveler? Wow, that's good for you!"
Kai got surprised by Sophia's sudden excitement in her eyes. "Huh, what are you so happy about? And what is a solo leveler?"
"So you are a newbie after all. Solo levelers are mostly otherworlders. They spend their time here to cool down their magic powers since they can destroy the whole city in a blink of an eye if they get overpowered or maybe angry! So they come here and enjoy their good life, and they are so scary to live with because once they get angry, you should kiss this place goodbye."
"They sound scary!" Kai said, his eyes narrowing down.
"So aren't you another worlder?" She asked, her left eyebrow quirked.
"What if I am?" His left eye widened, and its brow quirked.
"I'll surely find my way away from you!"
"Do I look like one?"
"Hey, answer my question?" she said, her hands folding in front of her.
"Answer mine first; you're the one who needs protection, not me!" Kai said as he wanted to know what she will do.
"Yeah sure, whatever you say. To me you are young and cute, not fit for another worlder, and if you are, you are super different from them!"
"Mhh, then I'll answer your question. I am another worlder."
She gasped in astonishment, and suddenly, she started laughing.
"Pfffhahahaha, hahaha, bwahaha!" She laughed, her eyes tearing as she continued.
Kai was left thunderstruck as astonishment poured over him like the windy heavy rain as he got surprised by her sudden laughter.
"Then what's funny?" He asked out of curiosity, his glances stuck on Sophia.
"You are trying to scare me? Well, that won't work on me. Anotherworlder that can't use magic? Yes, beast taming is a complex thing, and many otherworlders find it hard to tame a beast." She denied his reality.
"Ohh, really? Then that means I can't tame them either!" he said as he looked down in astonishment.
Suddenly the wolf went towards Kai and rested its head on his lap.
"Hey you! Are you sure you didn't tame this wolf?" She asked out of curiosity and astonishment, yet she was calm in her facial expression.
"Yes, and who is calling you? I'm Kai, not you. Don't you know my name?" He was thunderstruck by her disrespect, unaware that he didn't even introduce himself.
"No, sorry, my bad, I didn't know it; you didn't introduce yourself."
"I did!"
"Just now!"
"Agh, really?"
"It's nice to meet you, Kai."
"You too, Sophia!"
Changing of the topic, Sophia said, "And then, I should do something about this beast because you'll be attacked by beast humans and other wolves." She glared at the red wolf with a sharp warning glare.
Kai started petting it, rubbing its neck and going to the ears, and he said, "It's acting as my pet, though; I didn't ask it to follow me."
"Haaaa, okay, so where are you up to now?"
He replied and said, "I'm lacking bravery, so I'll need to level up my bravery, and then I'll be able to go to get my reward."
"Ohh dear, that place is not for mere beginners like you. It got some dangerous things, including those overpowered otherworlders." she warned, her face solid, with no glimpse of a smile.
Kai shut his two eyes and folded his hands, then he said, "Please don't scare me!"
"Sure!"
"Where is my potion?" Kai remembered his potion that he bought but never got the chance to use.
"You drank it…!" she said, her face still solid, with no smile, her eyes gently shut.
"How!"
"When you bought that potion I was right there walking in, and I saw that you were at the end of your rope, so I thought of jumping in to save a life that was meaningless. That's why you woke up in my legs, and you were not even grateful for it either!" Anger pierced the emotionless face; her eyes snapped open as they scarily flashed Kai with rage.
"Oh, sorry, and thank you for saving my life. Thank you very much!" He thanked them after his heart pounded like a war drum.
"You are welcome." She paused and took a deep breath, then she continued, "I guess my back is better now; I'll continue my adventure. Goodbye, fake otherworlder."
