These are some of the more famous stories in the Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio.

The Sith Warrior's story can also be considered one of the best darkside stories in SWTOR. As a Sith Warrior, you are on a path of pure domination. You get to engage in epic battles, crush your enemies without mercy, and make choices that are deeply rooted in the darkside. For example, you can choose to sacrifice your own allies for more power, which is a very darkside - oriented action. There are also some great story arcs where you interact with other powerful Sith Lords and prove your worth through dark and often cruel means.
I'm not sure specifically as there could be many different 'darkside graphic novels'. Generally, it might be about dark themes such as mystery, horror, or the darker side of human nature. It could involve complex characters dealing with difficult situations in a dark and often gritty setting.
Tales from the Borderlands' story is quite an epic one. It starts with Rhys, a corporate man in Hyperion, having big dreams but getting caught up in a mess. Fiona, on the other hand, is living on Pandora, a world full of danger. When they both get involved with the search for a Vault, things start to get really interesting. There are all sorts of challenges like dealing with Handsome Jack's legacy, other Vault Hunters who may or may not be friends, and the general chaos of Pandora. As they progress, they learn more about themselves and the true nature of the Vaults, and through a series of crazy events, they end up changing the course of things in the Borderlands universe.
Since I don't know the specific 'darkside graphic novel', it's hard to say. But typically, there could be a brooding protagonist, perhaps someone with a troubled past. There might also be antagonists who represent the forces of the darkside more blatantly, like a powerful and malevolent villain.

The following is the full translation of the novel "True Life":
Cui Zhensheng's surname is Cui Shichang, from Yueyang, Hunan Province. At the age of fourteen, he studied literature with a teacher and was interested in governing the world. One day, he met a strange man who said to him,"If you can be a Pen Fairy, you can predict the fate of people." Zhensheng then tried to measure a certain year, a certain month, a certain day, a certain person, a certain thing is very lucky. "Isn't this a true immortal?" said the man with a smile. "No," said Zhensheng,"it is my pen." The strange man told Fa Zhensheng, so he drew a circle on the paper with a pen, and there were numbers in the circle. He used the pen and paper to calculate the number and got the result. "True Immortal Jun, you can also see my true form," said the strange man happily. Zhen Sheng did not answer,"I am an ordinary person, why should I see the true form?" The strange man was angry and wanted to kill Zhensheng. Zhensheng took advantage of the opportunity to escape home and drew a circle on the wall to calculate the number of people with a pen. The family was horrified and asked him to explain."Don't worry about drawing this circle for me." The next day, Zhensheng drew a circle and calculated the number again. The family suspected that he was a demon and wanted to kill him, so he used the number he had predicted to divinate with the strange person. The result was exactly the same. The family regretted it too late, but Zhensheng was not afraid to continue to draw circles and calculate as usual. A few days later, Zhensheng suddenly disappeared from his family and looked for him. He saw the circle on the wall and the number was the same as before. Zhensheng said,"My fate has been decided. Why should I guess it again?" So he drew a circle without counting.
