Well... What should I do in the meantime? Nishley stood me up. Let's see how far the world has come since I first appeared in Humec.

The elven population has reached the 50,000 mark [+100 CP].
...
The world seems to be doing very well at the moment, I should let it run a little longer. Looking at Nishley, I sighed, shaking my head and looking at the creators' forum.
Creators Forum: [BlueEarth]
AlienEye: Can someone give me some PCs, I'll return the interest rates, later.
DingHao: I need help please! I'm going to die, a monster player is attacking me in the main battle, fu**!
Finbulus: Ah, good for you, buddy.
HiveTake: Looks like someone is going to die again today, hahaha.
...
A monster player? Well, there are some things I still don't know, I should ask other creators, what it is.
Creators Forum: [BlueEarth]
BlueEarth: Hello? I'm new, can anyone help me find answers to my questions?
Birdus31: A newbie! Come join my guild! We give a lot of advice to newbies like you, I can answer all your questions, answer me in your private messages.
Finbulus: Ah ah ah! It looks like a new guy has joined us. This must be the 9th creator to appear in 1 week, that's a record, I wonder what's going on?
Rehabdi: BlueEarth, would you like to make a trade, I can offer you different items at my disposal?
HiveTake: Rehabdi, don't try to rip off the newbie, moron.
"Woo..." I say, amazed by the players' reactivity, as soon as the message is sent, I am spotted directly by the other players. Let's take advantage of the spotting to ask for information.
Private Message :
Birdus31: Hello, would you like to join my guild? We give help to our members
BlueEarth: Hello, would you like to join a guild? What is a guild and what kind of help?
Birdus31 : Ah, I see, I see. I'm going a bit too fast, probably. It will be a bit too complicated to explain in a message. Please accept my invitation. It will be easier for me to teach you the basics of the system, especially since you are lucky, a monthly meeting is about to start.
Birdus31 has sent you an invitation to join a guild meeting. Please [Accept] or [Decline].
I was checking that it was Birdus31 who invited me, and isn't it dangerous if I accept? Wouldn't I be taken in by scammers? Maybe I could get teleported to an evil place and killed or accept an exchange I know nothing about. Maybe I should ask Nishley for advice before I make a decision I might regret.
"Nishley, are you awake, I'd like your help," I said, shaking Nishley off the bed.
"Waaaa.. No Edmund, it's not dangerous, you can accept the invitation in peace, there is no danger. As long as the creator doesn't have an alias displayed in red, you can trust him... As it's the first time you're going to take a ride, I'll accompany you just for a moment, okay?" she mumbled as she got up from the bed, "Let's go. The faster we go, the faster I can sleep..."
"Okay," I said. Suddenly a black hole appeared in front of me, deep and absolute black, a typical black hole that you see in space, "What should I do, I'm going through Nishley?" I said looking at the black hole that was my size.
"You're taking too long, go!" said Nishley as he pushed me with his foot and pulled me through the black hole, "AH...!" I shouted effeminately, every second I was in the black hole I thought I was going to pass out at any moment, not knowing how long I was in there, just as I was about to pass out I saw a bright hole appear in my field of vision.
As I got closer and closer to this small point of light, which was the size of a man, I could hear some voices talking casually. After falling for an indefinite period of time, I passed through the light hole and crashed into a hard floor, head first.
The people who were blurry to my eyes, looked at me with an apologetic expression, as if they knew the pain of a journey. A few seconds later another black hole appeared above me and Nishley gracefully stepped out and landed on top of me, "Ouch!"
"Thanks for the reception Edmond.. Waaa.. Well, now that I've seen that you've landed in the right place, I can go and sleep, I'll come back for you when your meeting is over.. See you later Edmond..." mumbled Nishley as he jumped into another black hole, I watched until the black hole disappeared and someone came to talk to me.
"Is that you BlueEarth? I should have warned you that trips are a bit risky, sorry!" a woman said to me... or a bird woman? It's a kind of humanoid with the lower part human and the upper part bird. It's... new.
"Ah... yes, that's okay, ah ah ah." I said nervously to an unfamiliar person in front of me, "And... you're I guess Birdus31?" I asked.
"Yes, it's me. Do I scare you? Sorry, ahah..." said Birdus31 thinking I was afraid of her because of my hesitant answer.
"Ah, no, no. It's just surprising. I come from a world where there are only humans, so seeing different people... it's surprising." I glanced at the hundreds of people chatting around us, with all sorts of appearances, 'trolls, mermaids, asuras, giant octopus, cerberus...spiders...', there are a lot of creators who have different appearances... On the face of it, the number of humans in the room should be a fifth.
"Ah, that makes sense, that's normal. It's the same for most people, everyone has their own situation. But I advise you not to look at them like that, it's weird, ah ah.." said the bird woman.
"Follow me, let's go and sit somewhere. The meeting is about to start.
"I ask for everyone's attention, thank you. The monthly meeting of the bird guild is about to begin. For the new creators, I am Trydina, the owner of the Bird Guild. So I will be your host for this meeting. As the lights go down, a light shines on a high stage where a woman with demonic wings appears. Yes, you are not dreaming. A demoness.
"Now, I announce the opening of the 1723rd monthly guild meeting, first of all, I would like to greet the new guardians who have arrived along the way, and who are giving us the interest to come and introduce themselves to our guild meeting, please welcome them with greetings, my friends.
Naturally, three lights appeared on the ceiling to illuminate the newcomers, including myself. We floated in the pillar of light, so that each creator could identify the newcomers and recognize them. Of course, this was followed by much applause as the new members arrived.
A few moments later the light disappeared and we returned to our seats. "Well, the greetings have been made, so I ask everyone to be courteous and respectful to our future members. With that, I would like to greet our members again and wish everyone a good time at this meeting," Trydina smiled to the crowd, followed by a cheer from me.
Applause'.
Suddenly a man came out from the side of the stage as Trydina disappeared from the stage, "In honour of those who have fallen, we will continue to climb the system so that one of us can be one of the original creators of the system!"
" "For the appearance of an original creator!" "
"Well, let's walk around and talk, you must have a lot of questions BlueEarth. Of course, I'll introduce you to different types of games while you're here," Birdus31 said as he walked towards one of the corridors.
'An original creator?' One more question to ask, the number of questions only increases.
