I am about a hundred chapter into the raw, yet I am still unable to confirm if chapter 1 is a prologue of the past or a time skip into the future. The girl named Myers share the same name as the goddess introduced further on into the story. The protagonist share the same name as the dean introduced chapter 1. I would just like someone to classify to me if chapter 1 represent a prologue of the past or prolepsis of the future?

LIKEI thought it was clear that it was a few thousand years into the future and that the "Myers girl" was Nailisi, the imp, probably trapped there as some kind of punishment. I mean, you remember that she chose the goddess's appearance when she first transformed, right? And it's no surprise that this 10k+ year old imp lived a few thousand more years. Well here are some tip offs to why this should be the future: 1. "On top of this ice sheet was a town made entirely out of ICE." within a hundred chapters, who might make such a thing later? 2. "The statue was rumored to have been built in the likeness of the Lord of the Metatrin Mainland, Saleen." Well, yea. 3. "The young lady was a notorious devil within the guild. It was rumored that she had close ties to the Dean." Looks like the goddess while being close to Saleem? Nailisi, the imp. 4. The badge. Considering that people in this chapter see it as some mysterious and powerful item, it would be too strange for this to be set in the past because, if Saleem's family had this(currently well-known) item, how would they have fallen so easily? Why would he have no idea of it's abilities?
Great analysis, thank you for the clarification simdimdim. At last, I could leisurely enjoy the novel. The first chapter was really taking its troll; to be honest the author should really rid of the first chapter, for it drag down the overall rating of the novel.

no problem~ But yea, either that or making it more concise, and having the latter half transition straight into the start of the next chapter. I'm sure a few people might have been turned away by it, but oh wellz, their loss IMO
