The Thorns Beneath the Bloom

Getting isekai’d was supposed to be the fun part. You wake up, you get the cheat skills, you build a harem, and you rule the world. Standard procedure, right? Wrong. Waking up as Rimuru Tempest, and with the Great Sage and a slime body, seemed like a winning lottery ticket. I was just getting the hang of it and sorting things out in my mind and the scenery surrounding me. But before I could do that, five minutes after my arrival, I took a high-caliber sniper round to the head.

The Samsara Tower is a virtual world built from countless films and television works. Every Samsara Players struggles to conquer each dungeon, striving to earn rewards and grow stronger. Shura, after transmigrating into this world, was stunned to discover that the very dungeon challenges others found nearly impossible… were all movies and shows he had already seen in his previous life!? ----- From me, Mr. Translator: This book is already available on Webnovel, but its translation is almost identical to the raw text. The names of characters, places, terms, and even references from movies and anime were all left in Chinese, which I honestly couldn’t stand. The charm and brilliance of the story were lost, and its appeal diminished because of that. So, as a passionate reader, I decided to take it upon myself to properly translate this amazing book—one of the true gems hidden within the mountain of trash in the Chinese fanfic section. I’m not a hater, just a reader who wants to enjoy and be fully immersed in the story. Peace.

In a world where psychic power determines destiny, every person undergoes an initiation ceremony at eighteen. Talent rank decides everything. When Zhao Mu awakens the lowest possible E-rank talent, the verdict is immediate: Hopeless. A wasted future. His ability—[Demon Clown]—is mocked as useless. After all, without spiritual talent, how far could skill training really go? But what no one realizes is this: [Demon Clown] doesn’t just increase skill proficiency— it increases everything. And it has no limit. Breathing becomes cultivation. Walking turns into movement techniques. Sleeping evolves into profound enlightenment. Breathing → Turtle Breathing → Supreme Exhalation Art Walking → Light Steps → Swift Phantom Movement Sleeping → Deep Sleep → Zhuangzi’s Butterfly Dream No matter how ordinary the action, once activated, proficiency grows endlessly. While others chase rare abilities and high-rank talents, Zhao Mu quietly trains the basics—until those basics evolve into god-level techniques. By the time the world realizes the truth, the so-called “E-rank trash” has already surpassed them all. This is the story of a man who proves that the strongest talent is the one that never stops improving.

Qian Xunji: Yun Yuan is the most outstanding disciple of my life. I will betroth my daughter Qian Renxue to him. Tang Hao: Facing Yun Yuan, I lose repeatedly, yet I continue to fight.
