"What about a war of the gods?"
actually an mmorpg is in the works that is something akin to what you're describing... basically instead of starting off as a weakling killing rats you start off as a minor god killing powerful foes but get even stronger with time... or something... i don't remember the details exactly but it was something like this...
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" /> MMORPGS ARE EVIL!!! even blizzard's idea of charging for multiple successive addons for it's next rpg is better than monthly payments - even if that means buying an addon a month because each addon features some new content - gad i can't remember the name of this upcoming rpg either (NOT world of warcraft)...
