Well, it could have a plot where Harry, in his first year, is secretly fascinated by the Dark Lord's power. Maybe he discovers some old artifacts related to the Dark Lord and starts to question the good - vs - evil narrative he's been taught. For example, he might find a diary that gives him a different perspective on the Dark Lord's past.
It changes him by making him more morally ambiguous. Instead of being the pure - hearted hero we know, he has a darker side. He might be more secretive and withdrawn as he delves into his newfound interest in the Dark Lord.
The concept of Harry as a Dark Lord in fanfiction is alluring because it subverts the original story. It allows fans to explore the 'what if' scenarios. What if Harry had given in to the power-hungry side? It gives a chance to rewrite the power structure in the wizarding world.
One interesting prank could be to magically change the Dark Lord's robes into something ridiculous like a frilly pink dress. It would be a shock to his dignity and his followers' perception of him.
It might not be as mainstream as some other genres. Most fans prefer to see Harry as a hero rather than a Dark Lord supporter. However, in the vast world of fanfiction, there are always niche ideas, and this could appeal to a small subset of fans who like exploring darker and more subversive storylines.
Well, first, Harry would need to study the ways of the Sith. He has to understand his enemy. Then, he could combine his wizarding skills with some new knowledge. For example, he might learn how to use his magic to counter the Sith's mind - control abilities. He could also use his Patronus, which represents hope and light, to drive away the darkness of the Sith. And of course, he'd need to find the Sith's weakness, like in the way he found Voldemort's Horcruxes.
One possible take on a 'Dark Lord Harry Potter' fanfiction could be a story where Harry, instead of following the path of a hero, is influenced by dark forces early on. Maybe he discovers a hidden, dark side of magic that the Hogwarts faculty has been suppressing. This could lead to a completely different power dynamic within the wizarding world.
In many 'Harry Potter' fanfictions about 'Dark Lord Rising', it often explores the resurgence of Voldemort in new and creative ways. It might show different scenarios of how he regains power, like through dark magic artifacts that were not fully explored in the original books.

"Harry Potter wants to be the Dark Lord" by Hong Chen Ruo Yang. It was a light novel/derivative Doujinshi novel with a system style and magical elements.
When Harry Potter was no longer at the mercy of others, everything changed.
Snape stared blankly at the results of the Sorting Hat's spit
"Potter's in Slytherin!" He couldn't take it anymore.
And our famous Dark Lord, the man who seeks immortality, has barely been resurrected.
"Your Reaper Curse is nothing, former Dark Lord."
Malfoy: Your ideas are now rubbish to us.
A familiar face appeared in front of him, revealing the lightning scar, the wand flashing green against his forehead, and whispered,"Lord Voldemort, your time is long over, Avada Kedavra!"
Hermione: "On behalf of the Ministry of Magic, I declare that Lord Voldemort is dead."
He had changed the wizarding world!
