Wish Upon the Stars 2
Unmask assassins. Empower allies. Challenge the Academy ranks.
Fresh off his victory, Shane ventures to the capital city of Rajak, eyes set on the Academy—the planet's most elite training ground for heroes. But prestige and power come with their own set of challenges. Barely settling in, Shane receives a chilling message from the Heartrippers, shadowy assassins with ties to a formidable cult.
His connection to the Wish Curse Palace drags him deeper into its treacherous underworld. While the academy's halls are a battleground of ambition and rivalry, the city's alleys hide darker secrets. Shane must weave through both worlds, racing against time to uncover and neutralize the looming threat against him.
In a city where everyone wears a mask, trust is rare and betrayal is a heartbeat away.
Shane's journey continues in book 2 of Wish Upon the Stars, a series featuring a weak to strong protagonist with limitless potential in a futuristic LitRPG setting featuring a crunchy, unique progression system. Perfect for fans of The Path of Ascension and He Who Fights with Monsters.
Malcolm Tent
In the fast-evolving world of LitRPG and progression fantasy, Malcolm Tent has carved out a space all his own—not by following well-worn tropes, but by twisting them into something wonderfully unpredictable. His Wish Upon the Stars series doesn’t just explore the idea of power leveling or stat grinding; it takes a sharp left turn into the unexpected, introducing readers to Shane, a descendant of the universe’s most infamous criminal, whose weapon of choice isn’t a sword or spellbook, but the ability to grant wishes.
