After an untimely death, the protagonist finds himself reincarnated in another world. A goddess greets him and tells him he can be reincarnated as anyone he wants. He decides to reincarnate as a hero with a harem, but is told that it is so popular that he has to wait 50,000 years before he can be reincarnated.
