Omeganian
(4 Score & 7 Years Ago)

A manga or Animesque comic in which a grey goo scenario creates a sentient and ever-expanding "building" of spherical floors ascending outwards from what used to be Earth. The surviving humans barely knew their history, and myths describe the Earth and how the expansion of this thing even consumed the moon in the sky. Because Writers Cant Do Math, the stated size of this thing at the time of the storyline would be so large that it had incorporated the matter of Saturn, and require so much matter that such a feat would be impossible logistically even if otherwise ignoring the laws of physics.
Basically it's an endless Arcology of pain like Incarceron or Necromundo, which I'm pretty sure had a page at one time but was lost in The Great Crash or otherwise removed if so.
