In online games, everyone typically goes through the same story (or at least have the same limited choices of paths for the story). And it typically ends with your own character becoming the hero of the world, slayer of beasts, paragon of wherever you live, while the other players are usually just your companions, or maybe even plain adventurers. And that's the case for every single player of the game. In their own game, they are the hero and all the rest are adventurers, while in someone else's game , they are the adventurer. So you are the hero, and at the same time you aren't the hero. Is there any trope that refers to this?
