Heroic Chronicles/Gaiden

"Alright, alright, I get it! Everyone will have their turn in the spotlight! Are you happy now?!"

- The author's promise after getting nagged by his other characters for screentime.

The Heroic Chronicles Gaiden (健気歴代史外伝, Kenage Rekidaishi Gaiden) are a series of stories revolving around events in each of the mainstream storylines; they shed more light on the activities of other characters — some new while others making a return, continue expanding more of the Heroic Chronicles universe, and flesh out important details that the author may have missed for one reason or another. In a sense, the entire point of the Gaiden is to fill up any and all possible plotholes that the reader may find in the main storylines, acting as a sort of backbone or foundation. Brief yet action-packed, it proves to be somewhat entertaining for the audience.

The author describes the entire series as "a vacation away from one's vacation", for lack of a better phrase.

Trivia

 * Typically, the same rules and important details that apply to the main storyline will also apply here as well.
 * While each sub-plot can be counted as an arc, it will be its own story — classified under one of the eight main storylines; this will mean there will possibly be ten or more chapters, some of which will be broken down into sub-arcs for an easier read. This is all part of the author's challenge to better his writing and roleplaying skills, which he's been developing for over ten years.
