a sequence of a story is like what happened first, second, third etc
It's called the plot.
Adverbs of sequence include after, afterwards, before, beforehand, since (after), then, thence, next, and finally. They indicate the sequence of actions related to other actions. Also the ordinal numbers (first, second, third, etc). Some can be used as prepositions, along with by (time), at (time), until, and participials such as during, preceding, and following. Some can be used as conjunctions to connect clauses.
The sequence of events in a story is known as the Plot. Without plot, you can't have a story; you'd just have a bunch of characters sitting around in the same scene, doing nothing. That isn't to say that there are books that don't have much plot...
