I noticed that some stories are told in the past tense, while others are told in the present tense. Which way is correct?
Example:
La heroo mortigis la drakon.
La heroo mortigas la drakon
Example:
La heroo mortigis la drakon.
La heroo mortigas la drakon

I would say that this is mostly about style.
When you tell a story, which obviously happened in the past, in the present tense, it is called "historic present".
It is a literary means of throwing the reader directly into the action.
