Everything is in my POV, which means it's in first person. I just wanted to let this out.
I sighed, looking around the empty base. Ever since 'the incident', the group I was in barely got any members logging in. Although we still somehow enter the GNW, it's always the same result. Either we win the first round, then we lose second round. The cycle just repeats and repeats. I frowned deeply and walked up to the board that displays all members.

Only four members are active right now. My frown deepened. They're not true members, they're ghost members, as I call them. They're physically there, but they don't respond. What happened to the good ol' days? When this base was filled with active members, our conversation just like what family would say?

It makes me sad that the words of one man had broken this group. But do I blame him? No. The truth would have been revealed either way. It's just like a bandage. You either take it off slow and but painful. Or rip it quick and painless.

This group is my only reasoning for still playing this game. It hurts me so much to see it slowly become nothing but a small shell of its former self. I sighed. Then the shimmering alert of someone entering rang out the room. I turned and saw two people who entered, Sargon and Taro. Though I frowned, because at times, he's not as active as he once was.

And Taro. Well, I can't blame her. She needs to focus on her studies and art. Just like me, she enters for the sake of the group. I waved at them and greeted. They noticed and greeted back. I slumped back and took a look at the active members, more importantly at two of our Jonin Users. Inazuma and CrossKaein.

My frown has yet to leave my face. Those two were our powerhouse. Cross sent a message that he quit the game with a reason given, but Inazuma just disappeared. He didn't give us a reason. I looked at the other names, my frown becoming deeper. A lot of these people used to be so active and lively. But now, they're nothing but names to be displayed.

But I can't really blame them. I can only guess that they have jobs, families or school to problem about. But I still couldn't help but deepen my frown. I really miss those days when the group was so lively. I just hope it doesn't disband, I had a lot of fun playing with all of my group members.

Although one of my friends from another group offered me to join his group, but I don't know if it was a joke or if he was serious.

I combed through my hair and gripped it hard. At times, I'm already considering quitting this game. But then that would mean I've wasted my entire progress and it would mean I'd be abandoning my friends here. I don't want to abandon them.

The developers, Oasis Games, are really dragging this game down the ground. They're getting greedy, but they're a business. So I guess, they're not reallt to blame, but also to blame? Does that even make sense? I don't know, I don't really know anymore.

The time chimed and I saw it was time for the Group Summon Capture. I looked at the active members, and only kaa-chan, Sargon and a few ghost members were on. I sighed and entered, I saw one of the ghost members attacking, while I was joined by kaa-chan and Sargon. You're wondering who I'm calling kaa-chan? It's the leader of the groug Shinobi, Angelique.

She;s a great leaders. Gives great advive, helps us when in need. It's most unfortunate that the group she leads is becoming dead. What's starting to get worse is that her work is starting to take more of her time.

I looked at the notification and saw I was the one who dealt the last attack, while kaa-chan who damaged the thing the most. I sighed and logged off to think about everything. This game is starting to get better by taking a step forward, but it also gets worse by taking two steps backwards. I hope, that the old days when Shinobi was such an active group would come back. I hope the day when it disbands...it never comes.
