Aeon

## Overview

Aeon, formerly Tree-Tree and Matt, is the protagonist of Tree of Aeons. Most chapters are written from his point of view, as he observes the various happenings throughout the years and relays them to the readers.

Due to being collateral damage in the hero summoning of Generation 1, he gains one fragment with the death of every hero, quickly mounting into several dozen. As such he benefits from extreme buffs to damage against demons and leveling speed. The fragments are stored in his Tree Heart, the most vulnerable part of his body he hides deep within the earth.

## Personality

Despite being a human, he can be most charitably described as morally gray, mostly indifferent to sapient suffering, using death row prisoners as subjects in experiments, and establishing facilities to raise soldiers from childhood, but generally seeking to provide fairness, peace, and prosperity.

At various points he is shown to be influenced by his nature as a tree and the other trees near him. Perhaps due to this he cares a great deal about their wellbeing.

## Life

### Former life

Little substantial is known about his life as Matt, before he died in the catalytic bus accident. We know he was an indie game developer in his thirties and liked reading isekai stories.

Matt likens the baby Lausanne to his nephew, by which we can infer the existence of at least one sibling.

Mozart tells him that he is barred from reincarnating as a human or elf due to the way he led his life. What he means by this is unclear, as the possible choices for reincarnation range from "mosquito" to "dragon" and even "lesser deity". His former life comes to a close when he is reincarnated as a tree.

### Early years

Matt's first several decades after reincarnation were spent mostly in sensory-deprived hibernation, interspersed with occasional system messages informing him of the arrivals and deaths of heroes and demon kings. He was eventually contacted by a druid, who accepted a familiar from him, and on the druid's later death, Matt was able to harvest the druid's soul sight, giving him a way to perceive the world. He continued in relative anonymity for some time, but with others occasionally making contact and accepting familiars, until eventually drawing enough attention that the local priests learned his familiars were only available to those who did not worship the gods, and they consequently moved him out of the city to the elven village of Freeka.

Once established in Freeka, Matt was able to communicate with the elves, and watched over them, until they were slaughtered for refusing conscription. He protected the last few survivors over the next several years, from both soldiers and roaming demons, and encountered several heroes, learning about the powers of the fragments that he had collected.
