What are some good systems for peasant->demigod campaigns?
D&D is honestly terrible for this nowadays.
1- it takes too long to level up by RAW
and
2- at no point are you actually a peasant. Most PCs are already within the top .1 percentile of their species.
I want a system where a character can start out as a genuinely average (or even kind of shit) person, and eventually rise to the rank of legend purely through hard work and the power of friendship

D&D 4e with level 0 start is actually suitably deadly.
There's also DCC which is based around starting as peasants who have about a 1:4 survival chance, but they don't really get to be demigods.
Maybe you could do something like a pointbuy game starting with low points and then handing out a lot. Something like Savage Worlds starting with low stats , or GURPS/M&M/other point buy things.

forgot PDF related.
Technically you are still talented, but you are really a piece of shit compared to a 1st level character (about 1/4th in strength).

Dungeon Crawl Classics, Zweihander, and Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. Be sure to check your local store OP, DCC passed out an adventure for free RPG day that includes the rules for character creation.

Have you tried Fifth Edition Funnel yet? http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/186076/Fifth-Edition-Funnel
It's built on 5e, but you start out with everyone having a handful of level 0's and those who survive become the actual characters.
