The setting is a world where you can freely choose your reincarnation destination. However, the wait time for the hugely popular "Cheat-holding Harem Hero" is 50,000 years! Even for a "Demon King," a wait time in the thousands of years is normal... "In that case," the protagonist decided to reincarnate as "the rib of a cheat hero with a harem and a happy ending!"
Furthermore, the repeated reincarnation destinations include "hermit crab," "Demon King's castle door (right)," "padlock attached to a treasure chest," and "Hero's curry plate." (-- Have you stopped being human altogether?)
A thrilling other-world reincarnation story of a salty-attitude Goddess in charge of other-world reincarnation and "Me" who happily repeats absurd reincarnations!
## Special inclusion of the first episode of the comic version drawn by Hitori-sensei!
