I've been looking around and can't quite seem to find a trope that fits this:
Protagonist gets surprised by a masked person, who shoves him through a portal/puts a teleportation device on him/sends him to the past/etc. Protagonist goes on adventure, grows older, becomes a hero, etc. Eventually, he travels back in time and dons a mask, ambushes his past self, and starts the adventure.
Essentially, stable time loop where the protagonist's future self is the instigator of the story.
Thoughts?
