Kell Kressia is a legend, a celebrity, a hero. Aged just seventeen, he set out on an epic quest with a band of wizened fighters to slay the Ice Lich and save the world. He returned victorious, but alone.


Ten years have passed, and Kell lives a quiet life, while stories of his heroism are told in taverns all across the land. But now, a new terror has arisen in the north. Something has taken up residence in the Lichs abandoned castle beyond the Frozen Circle, and the ice is beginning to creep south once more.


For the second time, Kell is called upon to take up his famous sword, Slayer, and battle the forces of darkness. But he has a terrible secret. Kell was never a hero; he was just lucky.


Everyone puts their faith in Kell the Legend, but he's just a coward who has no intention of risking his life for anyone. He's content to live a quiet life, away from the dangers of the world, but when the call comes, he can't resist the urge to return to his old ways.


As he sets out on his quest, Kell is plagued by doubts and fears. He knows that he's not the hero that everyone believes him to be, and he's terrified of what might happen if he fails. But he also knows that he has no choice. The world is depending on him, and he has to do whatever it takes to save it.


Kell's journey is filled with danger and challenges. He faces off against powerful enemies, including the Ice Lich himself, and must use all of his skills and knowledge to survive. Along the way, he meets new allies and discovers hidden secrets that could help him in his quest.


In the end, Kell faces his greatest challenge yet. He must confront his own fears and doubts and come to terms with the fact that he is not a hero. But he also realizes that he doesn't have to be a hero to make a difference. He can use his skills and knowledge to help others and make the world a better place.


Kell's journey is a testament to the power of courage and determination. He may not be a hero, but he is a true hero in the hearts of those who believe in him. And as he sets out on his final quest, he knows that he has the strength and the courage to face whatever comes his way.
