Thanks for the chapter!
See, this is why you choose Normal on a game never played before, even if it's a tutorial, and are feeling lucky. That way you're not getting killed every two minutes, challenging enough to be fun, and can get a feel for the game. If feeling cocky can go for hard but really bad idea to jump into Hell right away. I wonder if can change the difficulty level with the menu? MC probably either can't or didn't think of it but some games do let you change the difficulty level mid-play albeit with some restrictions. Like one game I played said could change to an easier difficulty whenever wanted but couldn't change to a harder difficulty or could change to any difficulty wanted except hardest which had to choose in beginning and not switch out to maintain.
