Ledas: A Saiyan's Story is a series of novel-length stories, novellas, short stories, and one-shots all related to KidVegeta's original character, Ledas. This collection essentially tells his life's story in chronological order. Some of these stories, such as The Great Sushi-Eating Contest, are part of other collections, while others may be direct sequels to The Forgotten (Ledas' main story), as is the case with Dragon Ball: Heart of the Dragon.
Ledas is not the protagonist in all of the below stories. In some cases, as with In Requiem, the main plot of Kid Buu finding his inner self has little to do with Ledas' appearance in that story. But all of the below stories show Ledas' history, as much as I'm willing to tell it.
The below stories are numbered sequentially in terms of time.
