In MapleStory, the 'old story' is like the foundation of the game's lore. It sets the basic world - building, like the existence of Maple World, different regions, and the initial races. It gives context to why characters are adventuring, for example, to protect the world from various threats that were introduced in the old story.
Perhaps its survival story makes it special. If the mule survived in a harsh environment, like a mule that got lost in the desert and managed to find its way back after days of wandering. Or a mule that survived a natural disaster like a flood or an earthquake while still being able to help others in the aftermath. These survival and heroic deeds are what could make the mule so special in the real - story - based account.
Mule is typically not a true story. It might draw inspiration from real-life elements but is mainly created to engage and captivate the audience through imagination and storytelling.
One of the top fictional marksmen in books is Legolas from 'The Lord of the Rings'. He is an elf with extraordinary archery skills. His accuracy is almost superhuman, being able to hit targets from great distances and in difficult situations, like during battles or while on the move. Another is Hawkeye from 'The Avengers' comics. He is a master archer, highly skilled in using his bow and arrows. He can perform amazing feats like shooting an arrow around obstacles to hit his target. And then there's Katniss Everdeen from 'The Hunger Games'. She has great marksmanship with her bow, which she uses to hunt and survive in the arena, as well as in the fight against the Capitol.
The Pre Big Bang Maplestory story influenced the current game in terms of its basic lore. Many of the origin stories of races and areas still form the backbone of the current in - game knowledge. For example, the fact that certain races originated in specific parts of the old Maple World is still relevant.
Well, one fact about 'The Mule' could be its portrayal of an aging character's journey. Fiction might be any over - exaggerated action scenes that don't seem realistic for the character's age. But it really depends on different viewers' perspectives.
