The Curse of the Alpha Stone
A young, talented and successful scientist Abe specializes in genetics and works at a university. He is also interested in alchemy and incorporates magic into his scientific experiments at his home laboratory. One day he succeeds in creating the Alpha Stone - the legendary Philosopher's Stone of ancient alchemists. Driven by noble intentions, he believes that the stone removes any imperfections in a human body, and at first, it's confirmed by his experiments on guinea pigs and even on humans. Specifically, the effects are prominent in sexuality: individuals experience enhancement of their sexual capabilities, and homosexual ones even become heterosexuals. But the power of the Alpha Stone appears to be uncontrollable, which leads to tragic and creepy events.
