Let's go over the basics, one last time.
Paxton was sent to the battlefield as his test for the Server to become a player. However, he wasn't sent with his memories, which he obtained later on as a boost.
He was a sergeant within the Army, and had at least five team leaders under him, one of which was involved with mapping the area.
There was a certain map he had to look over a few times when he first arrived at the camp without the soldiers knowing and that was the map of the battlefield.
After observing the fight beforehand, he realized that the Slave kind was someone who wouldn't participate in the war but rather watch from a specific spot.
He had sent his army of glitches at the soldiers and thus created some land markings around him.
Paxton's thoughts reeled in as he took off his army jacket, left his black inner shirt on, and rushed to his tent.
Now, he needed to prepare himself for what was to come. He found a razor and shaved off his hair, and tore off the lengthy part of his trousers, his thoughts reeling in as he prepared to leave. He suddenly stopped on noticing a flash grenade next to his bed and grabbed it, before rushing out.
'one of those land markings would be my only way of defeating him'.
The server may have thrown him into the battlefield, but in the end, it was gotten from his subconscious. His mind may be at war, but as humans, we always had a method of escaping our inner demons.
Finding a way to do such was one of the tasks of the server. One can't become a player with a weakness steering from deep emotions, so he realized the importance of at least making an effort to end the war.
So what if he's at war? He had used his knowledge from the start and somehow managed to achieve two out of the four missions.
'I don't have to do all of it….I just need to succeed as much as I can'.
It is difficult to conquer one's inner demons, and sometimes humans go as far as to live with them, but other times…conquering those fears, uncertainties, and difficulties is what pushes us to become more human.

Paxton ran past the army, the commander catching a glimpse of his figure as he slid past the fight scene into the battlefield.
He raised a brow in curiosity but his attention was quickly drawn back to the fight.
Paxton rushed past the slaves, shooting down any that may have strayed towards him.
Most had mistaken him for someone else, after all, he wasn't dressed as an army. He had the same shaved head as the others, and his clothes were worn out as they were. Though not totally rags so amidst the chaos, he was able to slip through.
At one point, he had come face to face with a Polly Critters, small goblin-like creatures with slimy skin and large ears.
The creature jumped toward him with a loud screech, but Paxton sidestepped and stabbed the creature with one of the queen's legs, flinging its tiny body into the army of slaves as an explosion of blue energy occurred.
The sudden explosion caught the slaves off guard, but they weren't given the time to reason what had occurred.
Soon, another was heard, and another.
The constant explosions led to the death of many, as well as the death of a Glitch.
'Corrupted creatures that would bring nothing but harm to humanity'. Paxton thought when he found one of the landmarks he had been searching for.
'Tunnels'. The tunnels created by the glitches were somehow connected to where the Slave King watched the event unfold. It was his one-way ticket to get to him, and he definitely wasn't going to let it go to waste.
00:01:00
As he got closer, a different creature came his way, its body causing distention in space.
'A Jack'. He thought as he glanced at the remaining appendages. 'One more….better make this count'.
He rushed forward towards the creature, its tall build cascading an eerie darkness upon him as he came closet.
The creature screamed out, slamming its massive fist against its broad chest as it rushed after him like a bull. Its horns glowing red in fury.
Jack's were known as the knight of the hive of glitches. They had strong bodies compared to the pawns he had been killing, and immersive power compared to the queen…
'But…the low-class ones are dumb'.
He threw a flash grenade into the air, causing a bright light to pierce the air as he slid past the creature between its legs. He stabbed the last appendage of the creature onto the glitched legs and entered the tunnel as an explosion of blue energy occurred soon after.
The Jack cried out in pain as its body slammed against the ground, its legs blowing into bits of mush and green liquid. The slaves ignored its cries of pain, running over its body as they headed towards the army, unbeknownst to the soldier that escaped their sight.
'The Slave King may seem all powerful, but one thing about Summoners or Tamers are their weak physical status....a good bullet to the head should be enough to kill him'.
00:00:30
While this occurred, the Slave King watched. His brows furrowed deeper with each second. He glanced around the battlefield, his gaze turning towards one of the slaves that held his throne.
"Did you see that soldier?" He asked.
The Slave nodded. "he entered the tunnels, Sire. He must be planning on ambushing you here".
The Slave King nodded in understanding. He stood up from his throne on the platform where his throne of iron and bone stood and raised his hands in the sky.
"It is not an ambush when the enemy knows about it. Come my children".
An echo was sent into the sky, and the glitches, numerous creatures, turned towards their Master in unison.
They halted in their actions and suddenly turned around, running towards their Master in a frenzy, their grotesque cries spreading into the air.
The soldiers had noticed the sudden change in momentum, and they increased their assault, their defensive line dissolving as they changed into melee.
00:00:04
The creatures ran down like a drunken swarm of pigs, their goal set on protecting their Master.
The Slave King, though, was left in bewilderment as he waited patiently for the soldier to reappear only for his wait to be futile.
"Where is he?" He asked confusion laced in his voice as he sat back down on his throne.
00:00:03
At that moment, Paxton emerged behind the group from a tunnel through the sand, his gun aimed at the Slave King, who slowly turned around on hearing the sudden noise.
00:00:02
"Right here". Paxton replied with a slight grunt as he pulled the trigger.
An eruption of sound occurred, followed by the explosion of flesh and blood as the Slave King fell to the ground with a loud thud.
00:00:01
Paxton sighed, his gaze flickering with emotions as blood dribbled down his fingers. He dropped the gun down when his grasp on the environment was suddenly cut short.
00:00:00
He looked up with a gasp, his gaze fixed on the timer, as a small smile formed on his lips.
'....I did it….I killed the Slave King'.
At that moment, the world turned black and his body was pulled into that darkness.
A brief moment of silence suffused but the familiar voice rang in his ears as the world turned bright, like a living computer.
