While it's definitely PRESENT in Lord of the Rings, one could argue Frodo himself is a subversion of it. Giving the ring to someone powerful would almost inevitably result in corrupting them and (depending on just how powerful they were) would just make a new big bad. Hobbits work as ring bearers explicitly because they're not "special".

The basic options for magic are:

• Sorcerers: Magic blood line or other innate gift of birth. Basically magic aristocracy.
• Wizards: Usually anyone can be a wizard, its the magic equivelent of studying hard in college.
• Warlocks: Anyone can be a warlock if they're willing to make a deal with the devil; the magic equivelent of dropping out to become a stripper.

Pretty much every fantasy has the magical aristocracy but the latter two are available to regular people in a lot of fantasies too, though wizardry is often gatekept and magical pacts tend to be for villains only.

There must be.

Haven't read it, yet, but I have high hopes for the Earthsea books.

From what I remember of the Neverending Story (the book), Bastian Balthazar Bux is just some kid with a good imagination, and he ends up as essentially their god; so.

due to the way causality works it would be pretty difficult to tell a story in any genre where someone's opportunities in life are not strongly correlated to circumstances from their past that are outside of their control (like their birth)

Tbh I am really pissed about this in One Piece's rather latest track. The will of D. and people with the D. names could have been pretty ordinary people with strong wills, good nature, social skills etc. opposing the injustices we see in the manga, but lately with all this reincarnation of Sun God Nika stuff, it is no different than what Naruto and Sasuke have been reduced to.

I know it is 25 years in the making and cultures and perceptions change, along with perception of tropes in entertainment, but can we at least go beyond this "the special one" or "the chosen one" stories?

I also know Oda has been a spectacular surpriser and a mangaka that can connect and change most trivial things to most core stuff to do unforeseen changes to the core of his world-crafting, but my doubts in One Piece being as unique as it was before the New World has been increasing these last 10 years of commercialization of it.

Dune

Not exactly fantasy, but Great Expectations by Dickens has a boy who grows up totally normal and then has his life transformed by a mysterious benefactor. It doesn't go the way the kid expects.

Also, Sanderson's Stormlight Archive & Tress and the Emerald Sea feature kinds of magic that can be accessible by anyone if they engage with it right. So perhaps give those a go. SA is a long series, but Tress is pretty approachable.

The main character Tau from The Rage of Dragons by Evan Winter is very much from a lower class, but keeps up with the Gifted by being fucking insane. He'll go through any pain and not let anything stop him to improve his fighting skills and take revenge. I'd recommend it if you want a story about someone who's not particularly special.

Cosmere books have an interesting spin on it. First an important caveat: all powers require some sort of fuel in the cosmere universe, or some sort or store/release mechanism. Therefore while poor and rich alike can gain powers, being able to afford to use those powers can vary. Some individual series deets(all of these exist in the same galaxy, but across different planets and sometimes different levels of tech)

Mistborn starts out looking like it fits the comic, with main characters being halfbloods with noble parents. However, some of the supporting super-powered people don't have that background, and as you go down the series some things start revealing what people believe about the powers isn't quite true.

Stormlight doesn't follow the bloodline thing at all, and various people of all classes and bloodlines develop superpowers, and inheriting it isn't the mechanism at all. Money can be a limiting factor, but isn't strictly one.

Warbeaker is somewhat more mixed. There is a power system anyone in the whole population can use, but the logistics of using it means people in power have a much easier time getting the needed resources to use it at higher levels. The resource is kinda tricky, so it isn't something that can be regulated or even stolen, but can be gained by anyone who can convince, coerce, or pay someone for their resource(everyone is born with 1, but you need lots to be powerful).

In addition, of the 4 main protags, 2 are princesses of a minor tribelike country, one is mysterious and too much spoilers to discuss, while the 4th is treated as a minor God, but is treated that way due to a more unique power system, but also one that isn't class based. A bit complicated but a concept explained early in the book: Returned are people who come back to life, and people worship them because of two features they have: they might dream about the near future, but won't understand it themselves, and they can sacrifice their second life to perfectly heal any one person. They have limits I won't go into here though.

Summary: powers in their true form do not discriminate, but situations and societal structure allows some of them to be manipulated that way.

My Little Pony?

I think in G4 bloodlines were brought up only twice: once indirectly with character named Blueblood, which was complete idiot, and other time when Pinkie and Applejack turned out to be distant siblings.

In G5 movie there was pegasus family that was saying they are royals because their family can fly, while others couldn't, but actually

The Name Of The Wind.

It's easier to imagine a different world than it is to imagine one without capitalism.

the webnovel Delve on royalroad is specifically about this, the main character is just a neurodivergent dude who gets isekaied to a world with an (artificial) rpg system and through the mystical arts of autistic hyperfocus he figures out how to break the system over his knees and share it with others.

in later parts of the story he and his friends found an organization specifically to level people up and they have to figure out how to set up the structure to be as democratic as possible while still recognizing the fact that they depend on the few most powerful individuals to make the whole thing work for the time being.

I have multiple ideas for games like that. I hope I can get people to help me realize them.

There's an anime that kind of flips this around. Instead of an everyman who can use magic, the protagonist is someone born in the royal family but can't use magic. Don't know if this counts.
