Oil Scrap

In the epoch before the City of Greed crystallized from human ambition, a primordial fountain of black ichor seeped from the earth's depths—a wound in reality where the planet's darkest essence pooled and festered. When the first merchants erected their golden spires and marble temples around this abyssal spring, they believed themselves blessed by fortune, ignorant that they had built their empire upon a threshold between worlds. As centuries passed and avarice consumed the city's inhabitants with ever-intensifying fervor, the fountain began to respond, as if the collective hunger of countless souls had become a beacon calling to something ancient and ravenous. Oil Scrap emerged not as a creation but as an awakening—a sentient manifestation born when greed reached such overwhelming concentrations that it tore open a passage for the abyss to take form, coalescing the black oil and corroded remnants of failed civilizations into a grotesque predator. The entity exists in a symbiotic covenant with the City of Greed itself, rising to feed whenever gluttony reaches fever pitch, leaving only dark stains where its victims once stood. Those who have glimpsed Oil Scrap's emergence speak of a wrongness that defies description—a creature that should not exist in any natural order, yet persists as an inevitable consequence of unchecked desire. The fountain remains, patient and eternal, waiting for greed to bloom again so that its terrible guardian might hunt beneath the city's glittering streets.
