History Comicbook / BlackTears

* {{Bishonen}}: The protagonist is very cute looking, with feminine eyelashes and a hairstyle that wouldn't look out of place in a Creator/MasamiKurumada work. The author is known for her yaoi works, meaning this would be AuthorAppeal too.

* MadScientist: The scientists that captured N°73 have kidnapped countless children (if our protagonist number means anything, almost a hundred) and turned them all into monsters, all with the purpose of creating what they fear more: [[EldritchAbomination the darkness]]. They are stereotypical one-note madmen, with them having spiral glasses, not different from [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Dr.Insano]], and we don't know how or why they got funded for their research, or why they even decided to give a body to an entity they fear.

* NamesTheSame: What little we know of the entity the scientists feared, it's called "the darkness" or "the dark" by them. That's the same name for ''ComicBook/TheDarkness'', an antihero with ancient demonic powers.

* DeathOfPersonality: The ending is vague, with 73 saying the darkness consumed everything incluiding himself. It is implied 73 lost his personality, becoming the darkness; an animalistic monster.

The short story is about a nameless protagonist, kidnapped by a mysterious organization for its experiments. Our character, named N°73 by one of the doctors, soon discovers that they captured more children to turn them all into what the scientists feared the most: the darkness. N°73, finding out their reason for turning them into monsters, decides to kill them all, [[DeathOfPersonality and falling to the darkness]].

* BodyHorror: N°73 and many other youngsters were kidnapped and experimented upon to become chimera-like creatures based on the darkness the scientists were afraid of the most. 73 have crab-like legs for hands, and a bat-like wing skeleton coming out of his back, and his entire body is surrounded by eyes. 73 remarks he can't even feel his heart.

* BookEnds: The story starts and ends with the same words, "I curse the day I choose to get out of home".

-> ''A long time has happened ever since they kidnapped me. I curse the day I choose to get out of home. Truly, that day changed my life forever. I have thought like many, what comes after death? I think I know the answer.''
