His Final Ascension

Summary

My uncle got obsessed with the Great Work, fasting and doing breathwork at home every day.

After he passed out from low blood sugar, they also found a stone.

He insisted it was the Philosopher's Stone, and that he was almost there.

I spent three days working on him, got him to believe in science, and had the stone taken out.

Once he was eating properly again, his labs came back into the normal range.

Then he came across AI-generated videos about people achieving immortality in the modern world, and decided I was the one who'd ruined him.
