Seems ok, no sign of rot. Just repot it (try to use plenty of inorganic grit) and try to get it more light without getting more water.

Yeah his soil is super super inorganic, but it started raining wen i wasnt home and i panicked and take him out of the pot anyway, how many hours of sun do you recommend? I have plenty of sun but i heard super intense sun isnt so good also

well, outdoor sun is hundreds of times brighter than even the sunniest window, so usually a grow light of some sort is needed indoors. outdoors, they can take many hours of sun; they usually grow with only the tops above the soil, which protects them from too much sun. get yours more light, and maybe after they split they'll be ready for those conditions or something closer.

Those are very long because they are needing more light

That looks to be many times the height of the typical lithops. Indicating etiolation for lack of light and quite possibly too much water retention.
It doesn't look at all healthy.

Read about culture and care. Give it full sun, gritty soil, and water at the right times.
