Billion Bullion

**Billion Bullion** (十億地金) was one of the top Guilds of YGGDRASIL, consisitng of 29 members since its founding. Unlike most other groups in the Nine Realms, the only members that consisted of the Guild were the wealthier members of society or high spenders in the game, with its founder in particular being one of the heaviest investors, being a bank owner in Japan, using his capital to help fund their endeavors. Thanks in part to their combined pool of resources, the guild rose to prominence through the excessive purchase and abuse of cash items.

With a secondary focus on complete domination in PVP and PK, Billion Bullion specialize in Guild Base raids. On top of hoarding and collecting rare items and relics, the guild came into possession of nine World Items, several of which were stolen. Having used much of the game's currency and accumulated wealth, Billion Bullion increased their high-ranked dungeon using cash, creating the Eternal Vault Andvari.

## Background

### Founding

Before its initial inception, during the early days of YGGDRASIL, DaiDieDark struggled with the game, partly due to his insistence of playing solo, disregarding the notion of forming parties with people that constantly failed to meet his expectations, going so far as to spend money on the game to vault over the game's initial difficulties. By boosting himself up with all manner of Cash Items and XP boosters, much to his surprise, he had trivialized most of the early game, only really struggling once he had reached level 60, realizing that in time, he would eventually need the help of others if he was ever going to do the end game content and gain access to rarer items he couldn’t outright buy from the shop, specifically most of the Raid Bosses, and eventually World Enemies.

Gathering other like-minded players, Billion Bullion was founded by its first six members, coming to the consensus that they could be the very best and thrive the most in the game if they pooled all of their resources together, buying their way to success. Due to the strict requirements for membership, their guild was kept at only 29 members, with those that contributed and donated the most to the guild’s growth had the biggest sway when it came to deciding the guild's next course of action when it came to decisions.

Even with their limited numbers, Billion Bullion became very adept at PVP since all of its members had Cash Items that boosted their performance while simultaneously minimizing their losses when they were killed and resurrected. As a result, they were unnaturally aggressive toward other guilds, often cannibalizing them for materials and World Items, bringing them up to become one of the top 10 guilds in YGGDRASIL.

### The Golden Lord's Reign

In the Real World, DaiDieDark was a bank owner in Japan. With a surplus of free time, and the capital to feed into his hobbies, he was by far one of the largest spenders among his circle of already heavily invested friends, having never missed getting whatever he wanted through the Gachapon machine. It was through his funding for their guild, and his managerial experience to run their group with a business model that elected him the guildmaster. Taking on any member, regardless of class or race, the guild expanded by incorporating players that were heavily invested into the game, either in a monetary sense or time-wise, with the hours spent by its members lasting from early morning, going well on to the middle of the night.

Once the 29th member had joined, Billion Bullion began a single-minded slaughter of players, particularly those belonging to the Heteromorphic Race by in part from the guild’s Human players in order to unlock more powerful classes, whilst simultaneously protecting their own Heteromorphic members from PKERS. Widely hated and looked upon with disgust by the vast majority of players due to flaunting their wealth and constant raids with other groups. This was only exacerbated by their more questionable activities outside of Raids and PVP. In order to raise funds, the guild went so far as to open an auction house in Múspellsheim, selling and auctioning off any surplus items or rare drops for more than what they were worth by buying out the market in order to inflates the prices.
