"I'm bored" I said, Grandpa replied, " Go explore the attic while your brother and I are out shopping, So, that's what I did. I went up the ladder to find lots of spiderwebs. " Spiders, I hate spiders," I murmured. As I walked forward with flashlight in hand, I hit a small metal bead chain. "What in the world was that!" I scream, "Oh, its a string." As I pull it, a small lightbulb flickers to life. I grab a broom and knock out all the spiderwebs and start searching boxes.
I opened an old, dusty case with difficulty. I looked inside and saw a key. Why a key in the most secure place in the house? I took it down to grandma and she snatched it and took it to grandpa. "Wha-" I started to say when grandma interrupted me. " Where did you find this?!" "In the attic," I replied. She hurried  to the door that the key opened, I snuck behind her  and I saw all of Grandpa's old WWII guns and uniforms. Then when i went to touch the badge, the wall next to me opened and I went through. "Is this," I said in shock," A portal to the underworld?!?!?!?"
I grabbed one of the old rifles that haven't been touched for years, then I stepped through. I saw massive flying creatures that looked like ghosts. I saw zombies, ghosts, these weird knight's armor things that have no owner. I was so scared I almost shot the gun, good thing the safety was on. I kept running around then I saw a blue-ish green pickaxe. I undid my belt and put it around my back. I picked up the pickaxe and hit part of the wall. A big chunk of the wall fell out, I stepped in the hole and put the piece of wall in front of me. I was hiding from a patrol of those knight things. I decided to keep the pickaxe and followed the knights. When I saw where they were going,I hid behind a red-ish boulder. They entered a mansion made of dark bricks. I saw them encounter a man who wore red clothing. Who is that man? I thought to myself. Then I accidentally made a sound and a knight thing was coming my way.
I grabbed his foot hoping that no one else saw me and I put the armor on. The spirit was released from that cursed armor that made them do what they were doing. I put it on and surprisingly, it shrunk to fit me. I walked in and went into the person's bedroom. It looked very similar to a hotel's bedrooms. I saw that he had a bow,some old arrows that looked like they haven't been touched in years. I picked up the bow, the arrows, and it looked like a sword with three blades.I swapped out my rifle for the bow because the rifle was jammed. I walked out and the armor fell off of me as soon as I stepped out. All the guards stared at me, then they pulled out their swords and chased me. I pulled out the bow and one arrow. I shot at the knight but missed and hit the ground. It made a huge hole in the pathway i was running on. Then out of nowhere, zombies wearing the armor riding on ghosts came out of nowhere and started to shoot fireballs at me. I thought I was out of arrows, but i found one right where the last one was. I shot and found another in the same spot again! I stared at the bow and found some words on it : This bow will give you an unlimited amount of any arrow you have and it knocks the person back. So, I aimed at the ground and it created a hole that no one can jump out of. I looked ahead and saw the portal home, but there were knights all around it. As i was thinking about what to do, I remembered that Grandma told me stories when I was younger that portals were unbreakable. I shot underneath the portal and jumped into it, but they shot a fireball which deactivated it and made me pass out. When I woke up, I don't have anything but the infinity arrow, and I'm tied up. Then a booming voice spoke, he said " Hello, young adventurer, if you dont tell me what i want to know, bad things will happen.
