Practice

You decide to prepare for going into the door by packing up your Bow, Arrow kit, and Harp. After packing the Basic necessities you decide to practice on your Archery in the meantime. Each day you would go outside and shoot arrows, trying to increase your speed. While your grandfather wasn't super technologically advanced he did have some stopwatches and a couple pieces of machinery though he barely used them, you have no idea how he got them but figure that it can help serve your purposes.

A week passes, you managed to get around an 80% acuracy on targets up to 90 metres, and it gets higher the closer you are, the piece of machinery you found from your grandfathers shed was... A tennisball launcher. You are baffled on how your grandfather even got or needed one of these, but you figure it can suit your needs. Soon you were practicing on moving targets.

Everyday in your spare time, that you gave yourself, you would practice on your old harp. When you were a child your parents pushed you into music and you learned a lot, though you didn't like it a ton at the time, looking back on it learning notes was kinda fun, so you would spend any spare time you had into practicing on that harp.

Another week had passed, and you were getting the hand of the moving targets with a 75% chance of hitting them in the air. Figuring that it was good enough you move on to the most challenging practice yet, moving and shooting moving targets. the week you spent on that practice drained you, so you spent nearly all of the time playing on your harp for fun. though two weeks passed and your grandfather had yet to return you had guessed that he went through the door, and technically proved to your parents that you could be self sufficient, living off cooking your own meals, and learning matainence for the house.

You have been getting healthier, and you guess it's from the healthy food you've been eating, and from the exercise you get practicing archery. You can now run and shoot targets, arm your bow, and make a quick arrow, though of less quality if you took your time on each arrow. You fancy yourself a prime hunter, and you have to move on to the most challanging test yet. Hunting and Killing animals for food. Everyday you only ate leftover meat in the fridge with plenty of vegetables from the garden. You knew you had to eat more meat but it took a while to psyche yourself up to killing another animal. even though you played gory videogames it was much different from skinning an animal yourself.

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

In your grandfathers library there was a 'detailed' book on skinning and after throwing up a couple of times you managed to finish reading and wanted to try the technical knowledge. Going out you manage to hunt a measely squirrel and try skinning it, after making sure it was dead you got to work. You were glad you hadn't eaten beforehand because it was a horrible experience. Thankfully you did it and it would be easier the more times you practiced.

At the end of the month you were experienced with skinning, and bloodletting. It was the beginning of the next month were the door would return and you could say you were a little anxious and excited, both for the same reason, you were going to another world. From the novels you read back home other worlds were always mysterious, and dispite reading what your grandfather wrote, you could never expect what was on the other side.

Today is the day. The door should apear in the evening you start to pack your bag. Dried rations, water filter, and water bottles, Medkit, sleeping bag, wild tent book, solar powered charger. You swing your quiver over your shoulder, and clasp your harp to your waist, and strap your watch to your wrist.

You wait, and wait, but the door doesn't appear. Your eyes are getting heavy and you unintentionally yawn. Closing your eyes you decide to take a short nap.

BAM! You wake upo with a jolt again, but this time you were asleep on the carpet downstairs the door in all its magnificence is standing before you you take out the three keys and can't decide which to use.
