Just as Emily begins to find her feet again and form her own plans, Owen’s backup singer calls in sick, and Emily steps in to save the day.

On the day of his birthday, he hopes to obtain a Class that will elevate his status and achieve his goal; Instead, an unexpected incident happens that will change his life for better or worse.
"Kids, what kind of person is your dad?"
In a certain class, a teacher was giving a lesson to the children, with the theme being "My Dad."
Outside the window, there were a large number of photography tools set up, clearly for a live broadcast.
"My dad is a firefighter."
"My dad is a boss. There are several dozen employees in his company."
"My dad is a car mechanic. He can fix any car."
The children eagerly answered one by one, but when it came to Xia Zixin, things were a bit different.
"My dad is a genius in weapons. He can make any kind of gun and ammunition!!"
Everyone was taken aback, but they didn't take it seriously.
"I'm serious!"

I'm not sure who exactly 'rc' is without more context. But 'rc' could be anyone. As for the stories, they could be of any genre like adventure, mystery, or fantasy.
This question involved many different novel settings and plots. Different novels might have different answers. However, generally speaking, the possibility of the Shadowman taking the Crawler was very small because the Crawler was usually a very powerful creature, and the Shadowman usually had to rely on his own strength to survive.
In some novels, the Shadowmen might use some special abilities to attack the Crawlers, such as using dark powers or magic to destroy the Crawlers 'base. However, in other novels, the Shadowmen might not risk attacking the Crawlers because they knew the Crawlers 'great strength and defense. They might choose to cooperate with other creatures to survive.
In short, there was no definite answer to this question. It depended on the specific plot and setting of the novel.
Imagine a post - apocalyptic science - fiction world. A group of survivors find an old car. They discover a strange sponge - like organism growing on a particular type of rock. They figure out a way to attach the sponge - like organism to the car. This sponge - like thing has the ability to sense approaching danger. When it does, it hardens the car's exterior to be like a rock, protecting the passengers inside. At the same time, the sponge - like organism can also secrete a lubricant - like substance that helps the car move more smoothly over rough terrains made of rocks.
In science fiction, a car could be made of a super - strong material inspired by the density of a rock and have a shock - absorbing system like a sponge. For example, the car's exterior might be as tough as rock to withstand alien attacks, while the interior cushions are sponge - like for comfort during high - speed space travel.
Maybe the stories by 'rc' have unique characters. They might be very detailed in their descriptions, whether it's about the settings or the characters' emotions.
