The Allbright System - A Sci-Fi Progression LitRPG Story

“Time doesn’t pass in the Void. That’s not poetic—it’s clinical. The Void has no temporal flow. It’s a space without rhythm, without heartbeat, without change. It does not move forward. You do.

That’s the problem.”

In today’s mental hygiene briefing, Dr. Kellis issued renewed warnings regarding the misuse of Time-Dilated Skill Classes—particularly among new Recruits still adapting to the Allbright System’s neural load.

The dangers, he explained, are not just theoretical or in any way uncommon.

They're well-documented, and steadily increasing with the pressure building from the Galactic War’s progression.

“Time Dilation training offers a massive boost in Skill acquisition efficiency—sure. But compressing months of mental development into what is, externally, barely a day? It’s a form of accelerated isolation, and your brain isn’t built for it. Not fresh out of Integration, at least. We’re social creatures. Our minds aren’t meantto live in that kind of pocketed silence.”

This is why, he reminded, Recruits are limited to one Skill Class per Category per Terra-Standard-Time Month, with mandatory cool-downs between uses. Veterans—those who have already suffered their share of artificial solitude over years and decades—can often weather these trainings far better.

Some even crave the stillness, and flourish in it. But for those new to the grind?

“It fractures the mind,” Kellis stated bluntly. “You come out speaking the same language, but the people around you didn’t live the time you just did. And when nobody understands what you went through, what you learned, how you mentally grew up in that time frame, that gap can be lethal.

Not just socially: Psychologically. Existentially.”

Kellis further clarified that these Skill Class sessions are only made possible by very specific and very expensive ship bound conditions. Among them:

• Entry into the Void during stable drift.

• Sustained power output well above baseline, provided by excess Void-fusion or harvested Void-anomaly-spike storage.

• Synchronized DDS-buffer realignment for data integrity post-session.

• And more, which, in his own words, “aren’t really fit to talk about over breakfast.”

They’re not just paying for knowledge—they’re paying for stability, safety and reality itself, in some ways.

And his final message?

“Always remember: You are UHF Marines. You were not bred, trained, and launched into the black to sprint until you break. Our careers are not sprints—they’re campaigns. They’re lifetimes. Oftentimes several.

The System will let you overtrain. It’ll even encourage it, if you let it.

But the smart Marines pace themselves. They take time to integrate what they’ve learned. The best of us don’t rush the climb. They make sure their next step holds.

Remember: This war isn’t going anywhere. You’ve got centuries to win it.”
