After his destruction, Achilles was reborn as Cho-Z Achilles. However, his resurrection came with an unwanted side effect.

It's good to be back. I can't stress about how much my clan and my parents were worried about me. At least me and Aiga are free from that dark aura Phi inflicted on us; and that's all I care about.
I've been getting stronger thanks to Aiga fixing me and giving me some cool new abilities. But as I got stronger, I also felt...stranger.
My wounds seem to heal in a blink of an eye. Sure, we spirits heal fast, but not this fast. At first, I thought it was because of my evolution into a new bey. As time went by though, I knew it was something else.
The juicy figs that I've always enjoyed since childhood started to taste bland. That was odd. There was nothing wrong with them. They were fresh and good, not infected with any disease whatsoever. In fact, every food that I ate tasted bland. Did I catch a cold that prevented me from tasting anything?
I also realised that I started becoming hungrier. I tried to eat all of the food I had even if they were now tasteless, but they won't nourish me. Eating only made the hunger much worse. I had episodes of me lying in bed clutching my stomach. Every time I trained with Aiga, that itching need to eat something came hitting like a train.
One day, I looked into my mirror and saw that I grew sharp fangs. I hid them from my friends and family. I didn't want them to get worried about me again.
One night, the hunger reached a breaking point. My memories of that moment were hazy. I was going to bed, that pain still unresolved. Next thing I knew, I was somehow in the human world, in a dark alley, holding a dead woman in my hands.
My sense of taste had returned and my body no longer felt hungry, but at what cost?
That night, I've realised what I've become. I've become stronger, my performance in battling had improved. In the day, I was a leader, a hero and a good partner. But at night, I was a blood thirsty monster.
With each human I fed off of, my power increased. The same can't be said for my sanity though. How long could I resist before I make Aiga and his family my next prey?

Vampire Achilles was a concept that was buried into my brain by MidnightEcplise. (Thanks for the inspiration XD)
There's apparently an Ancient Greek belief that says that red-haired people will turn into vampires after death. And since my concept of Achilles has red hair, I decided to make this 😅 Hope this spooked u guys.
