A lot of stories make use of Anachronic Order and Back to Front, to play with the order of events the audience experiences. Similarly, a lot of sequels and books set in an existing setting tap into established lore to tell a richer story without getting bogged down by exposition.
This trope takes aspects from both; an adventure of some sort happened, whether it was an epic quest, a frantic struggle for survival, or just a year or two working retail... and the audience will never see it first hand (except maybe as a Prequel some day — but even then, that's not the intention when the work first comes out). This is about stories set in the aftermath of another story that will remain a string of Noodle Incidents and backstories for the casts while framing the narrative. It could have set the main conflict in motion (perhaps the Big Bad was originally a Greater-Scope Villain or Dragon Ascendant, whose plans are now coming to fruition, or The Rival has now become a major threat), or at least failed to prevent it. It could be an untold backstory for the characters, (an origin story for an Experienced Protagonist who's still trying to process how they got to this point, or the reason Everyone Is Related). It could even just be about the cleanup and rebuilding that follows something more action-packed.
Note that this is distinct from Hero of Another Story, which is about a specific character having their own adventures offscreen. However, the two can overlap if they took place before the current story and tie into the plot of the one the audience sees. It can overlap with Peggy Sue, where the hero gets a chance for a do-over of all of their previous adventures in hoping to Set Right What Once Went Wrong (if the full adventure is never revealed to the audience). It should also not be confused with Batman Cold Open, which shows an adventure that doesn't have an impact on the main plot (and mostly serves to provide some quick action, instead of backstory).
Super-Trope to Late to the Tragedy, where the previous "adventure" was everything going to hell before the protagonist showed up. Contrast The Story That Never Was and The Greatest Story Never Told (where a story that the audience sees has its impact on future plots blunted), and In Medias Res and How We Got Here (which also start the audience at a later point, but snap back to the earlier narrative). Often involves an Offscreen Moment of Awesome.

Sunless Skies opens with the locomotive Orphean limping home after a failed voyage to the Blue Kingdom: Captain Whitlock is being slowly burned alive from the inside by a Correspondence-inflicted wound, you're the first officer, and you're stuck getting the Orphean back to the safety of New Winchester. Whatever you were doing out there is never specified, but it's hinted that Whitlock was rescuing a soul from the Blue Kingdom. By the time you get back to port, Whitlock is dead, and you inherit both the Orphean and the post of captain from her, whereupon you begin the game proper by confirming your identity, your past, and what ambition you want to pursue over the course of your career - be it Wealth, Fame, the Martyr-King's Cup, or the Truth.

Sonic Unleashed's opening cutscene has Sonic attacking a space fleet that Eggman has assembled, which wouldn't look out of place in the finale of other Sonic games, including Sonic using his Super Mode, which also indicates that he collected the Chaos Emeralds during the lead up to this.

DIE begins with a group of teenage friends being sucked into an RPG one of them created and then returning to Earth two years later, heavily traumatized and the game inventor not with them, with all of them unable to talk about what happened. The main plot of the story then picks up 25 years later, with the now-adult friends being sucked back into the game for a new quest. Over the course of the series, we get various flashbacks and discussions about the events of the first quest, but much of what happened over those two years is left to the imagination.

The Shapeshifting Detective begins in the aftermath of the eponymous character's previous assignment, with Agent X raking you over the coals for getting caught. What actually happened isn't specified, but it results in you being sent to the village of August in order to redeem yourself in the eyes of whatever mysterious agency hires shapeshifting detectives... with a strict warning that screwing up this time will result in you being "deprecated." For good measure, it soon becomes clear that your contact in August, Police Chief Dupont, is the only man who can make what happened in your previous assignment disappear. If you catch the killer, Dupont agrees to have the report rewritten so that you arrived on the scene after the girl died instead of before, but that's about all you learn about the incident.

Friends at the Table: Played with in COUNTER/weight. The setting was specifically written to take place in the aftermath of a Real Robot Genre show, in which an Ace Pilot at the head of a coalition of nations performed a Heroic Sacrifice to defeat The Empire, which somehow also put a new planet in the sky as a symbol of peace. The political turmoil that followed is a significant backdrop to the series, as those previously-united factions go back to squabbling and the now-Vestigial Empire tries to pick up the pieces. However, the last few "episodes" of the nonexistent preceding show do eventually get played out in a special flashback story arc; it doesn't show how the protagonists got to that point, but it does show exactly what happened to them in the end.

In Final Fantasy XIV, the events of A Realm Reborn kick off five years after the Seventh Umbral Calamity, a cataclysmic event where the Eorzean Alliance and adventurers collectively referred to as "Warriors of Light" tried to stop the Garlean Empire's attempt to flatten Eorzea via Colony Drop. Instead, the elder primal Bahamut emerged from Dalamud, inflicting indescribable damage to the entire continent and permanently changing weather patterns during his rampage. The story begins with the Player Character, either a fresh-faced adventurer looking to make a name for themselves or one of those selfsame Warriors of Light transported into the future, making their way to one of the Eorzean city-states and exploring the land forever changed by the Calamity.

The Brittas Empire begins when the titular character is Kicked Upstairs from his previous job at Aldershot Leisure Centre. What little we do hear of it suggests that his time there was just as hectic (and also his fault) as with Whitbury (for one thing, it apparently ended with Brittas having to dig up people from some rubble and getting a medal for bravery) but we never see any of it.

From the perspective of Grandpa Max, the events of Ben 10 are this for him. Max is a retired Plumber, an organization of humans and aliens sworn to defend Earth from alien attack. When Max was in his prime, he defeated Vilgax, romanced an Anodite named Verdona, among many, many other things over the course of his career before eventually retiring and settling down. When Ben retrieves the Omnitrix, Max's former skills are put to good use in supporting his grandson's efforts to battle the never-ending supply of alien bad guys looking to take it from Ben. Max alludes to his adventures fondly in flashbacks, but the viewer never gets to see all of them.

In The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World, the story begins In Medias Res as the titular Kizuna Red defeats the Big Bad threatening his world at the cost of his own life. To Red's surprise, he emerges unharmed in a fantasy world rather than the afterlife, spending six months doing odd jobs as an adventurer to gain his bearings before being hired by Idola Avorn. The reader gradually gets more context about his previous adventures from his own exposition and flashbacks.

Futurama:
"The Tip of the Zoidberg" opens with the Planet Express crew returning from a mission, where Fry got jaundice from getting punctured by cacti, which he thought were aliens and was trying to greet them. Zoidberg's attempts to cure Fry leaves the entire crew mutilated, and they demand he be fired. The rest of the episode answers the question of why Professor Farnsworth has left Zoidberg around despite his gross medical incompetence.
"Three Hundred Big Ones" takes place after a war against a race of Giant Spiders, and the spoils of war have been distributed to every citizen of Earth to the amount of $300 each. The plot deals with how each member of the main cast spend their 300 bucks.

Ikenfell is about an ordinary named Maritte travelling to the eponymous Wizarding School to check in on her sister Safina, and spontaneously gaining magic just before the plot sets in motion.
Safina's previous adventures at the school serve as a framing device for Maritte's relationship with the rest of the party (which consists initially of Safina's two best friends Rook and Petronella) deconstructing the "Kid Hero having adventures at school" archetypes, but we only get hints and flashbacks of them.
It's revealed when Pertisia joins the party, that she used to be best friends with Safina, and went on several adventures with her. Their antagonism started when she was maimed and scarred during a misadventure, and Safina basically abandoned her after finding new friends.
A previous adventure serves as the basis for the wider plot. More specifically, the school's headmistress Aeldra was left traumatised after her friends were killed around her protecting the Summer Sapling. The lockdown's been caused partially by her trauma clouding her judgement (not helped by her using Blood Magic to draw out the emotional pain), and a case of Poor Communication Kills (Safina realised the world will die if the Summer Sapling isn't freed; Aeldra didn't realise that the evil that was sealed with it is long dead; both misunderstood one another's intentions).

First Blood: Before the events of the story, where John Rambo is a poor drifter who runs afoul of a small-town sheriff (in Kentucky in the novel, Washington State in the film), Rambo was a part of an elite Green Beret unit during the Vietnam War, had a friend die in his arms, became a captured POW, escaped captivity with a surviving squadmate, and had received the Medal of Honor for actions above and beyond the call of duty. An extreme case of PTSD, developed from these experiences, is what triggers Rambo's escalating conflict with the local police.

Doctor Who:
When we first meet him, the Doctor has fled his people, spent enough time exploring Earth history to decide the French Revolution is one of his favourite periods, and then more or less settled in the early sixties so his granddaughter can go to school.
In "The Face of Evil", the Doctor arrives at a planet he had visited several years prior, and which had turned into a fascistic hell hole in the meanwhile (and fondly remembered his role in making it that way... by making him their Satanic figure). As the serial goes on, this becomes a Resolved Noodle Incident (the Doctor, thinking he had an unquestionably brilliant solution, reprogrammed a Master Computer with an upload of his mind but only made it more crazy instead), which makes the Doctor more driven to solve the problem.
The revival of Doctor Who starts with the Doctor having just come off the aftermath of the Time War, and dealing with the result of that.
Several new series episodes open with the Doctor and companions arriving back at the TARDIS after a previous adventure, and discussing the Noodle Incidents that arose.

In Tunic, a retro-inspired game similar to the Legend of Zelda series, you can find pieces of an In-Universe instruction manual. It includes hints from someone who's played through the game before and implicitly experienced the adventure very differently. This effectively recreates the experience of playing through an older game with the benefit of a fan community.

In the Sherlock Holmes stories, Dr. Watson does this a lot. Many of the stories include references to other cases Holmes solved previously that never actually appear in the canon; such references serve either as this or as a Noodle Incident. (Many of these have since been taken up by pastiche authors.) Holmes himself will also allude to such cases from time to time, such as in this remark he makes in "The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire":

Indivisible: The prologue shows the very end of an epic quest, with a four-person adventuring party battling an Eldritch Abomination to seal it away. The main plot begins years later, concerning Ajna, the daughter of two of the adventurers from the prologue. She sets off to avenge her father's killing and the destruction of her village, and discovers that the culprit, Lord Ravannavar, is also seeking to unseal the abomination from before.

In one Transformers comic, Orion Pax, the police captain of the city of Rodion, appears out of nowhere and tackles a fleeing criminal to the surprise of the protagonists. He offhandedly implies that he'd just taken care of a completely different set of criminals, noticed the commotion, and decided to come help out.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom opens with the title adventurer meeting with a man in a Shanghai nightclub. It turns out that he's just come back from a quest to find the remains of the first emperor of the Manchu Dynasty and the man he's meeting with hired him to find them. The man then betrays Indiana and the resulting altercation sends him to a village in India where he's asked to help with their problem.
