Time Periods of the Story Events
In this post, I'll be dividing story events into time periods, and give you guys a sense of the timeline of these events chronologically.
I'll be updating this post every time I have read an event.
Also, for now, I'll divide the timeline into three periods, ancient times/long before MC came to Hell, shortly before MC came to Hell, and after MC came to Hell. There will be a fourth category of unknown because I can find no time indicator of the event.
Note: shortly before MC came to Hell has relative meaning. It is the time period much later than ancient times and not necessarily means literally shortly before MC arrives in Hell.
Ancient Times/Long Before MC Came to Hell
The Two Stars that Fell from the Sky
Main characters: Lucifer, Gamigin
Original run: March 20 - April 3, 2024
Reason: I think this is obvious, this event's main setting takes place from the period of Lucifer falling to his two years living with Gamigin as a fallen angel to him being recognized as king and the foundation of Paradise Lost. The time is shortly after the war began and many centuries before MC came to Hell.
Shortly Before MC Came to Hell
Main characters: Beelzebub, Andrealphus, the trio Naberius-Amon-Stolas
Original run: December 11-25, 2023
In the last part of the story, Beelzebub says that there are things that are going to happen soon but he can't tell them yet. I think what Beelzebub is talking about is MC and other things that will come with their arrival. There are many implied details that Beelzebub knows that the descendant of Solomon will be his destined lover and he has been waiting for them for very long, like that moment in the comic of Beelzebub Attacker
A Life of Investigating Leraye
Original run: April 24 - May 8, 2024
The story alternates between the moment in present time and the memories about Leraye. But since it has been made clear from the start that the characters are talking about their memories of Leraye, I'll choose shortly before MC arrives as the standpoint period.
In one scene, Paimon tells Naberius and Stolas he's single, which means he isn't seeing anyone or having feeling for anyone at that moment (which actually makes Naberius irritated because he was actually asking if Paimon was alone in coming to meet them lol). Given the fact that Gehenna devils are romantic, and Paimon has feeling for MC after they arrived in Hell, it must mean that MC hasn't arrived in Hell at the time of the event.
The Guest of the Halloween Eve
Original run: October 25 - November 8, 2023
Reason: Another obvious one because MC literally appears in this event.
Main characters: Leviathan, Orias
Original run: February 21 - March 7, 2024
Well the time indicator of this event is a single sentence that Orias says.
If you have read the Prologue of the Portal Coin Dungeon (where you farm coins that have cat-shape and it's only open during the period of a pass), you will see that MC did appear in that prologue talking with Selaphiel, while the four kings were beside them. (Sadly this prologue can only be read once and I have no screenshot). The fact that Orias mentions the event of that prologue means that the story of this event happens after MC came to Hell, it's just that MC isn't in Hades at the time of the story event.
Original run: November 17 - December 1, 2023
Reason: there's no time indicator I can find in the event story, it could happen either before or after MC came to Hell.
