Meet Galvan Ize

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sound of a ringing alarm clock breaks the silence accompanied by the distant sound of vehicles rushing by. Slowly, a hand crept and made its way to the bedside table. It tried to reach the ringing alarm clock, but instead of turning it off, it just pushed the thing away from its reach. The alarm clock didn't stop ringing, which frustrated the owner of the hand even more.

"Damn it..."

A 20-year old male, about 5'7" tall, wearing only "blue-green" gradient colored shorts leaving him topless, pushed the bedsheets away from him and sat up. He ruffled his sun-streaked jet black hair with ivory-white bangs on its left side and let out a yawn before his tired chartreuse eyes glanced at the alarm clock. Remembering that he had work to be done today, he sighed in defeat before grabbing the alarm clock and turning it off.

His name is Galvan Ize but most people call him Galv or Mr. Ize for formalities. He finished a triple bachelor's degree in Computer science, Mechanical Engineering, and Electrical Engineering and now he recently opened his new business called the Universal Technical firm near the heart of the city. He lives just a few blocks away from his office so that he can have some time to walk since he barely had enough time and energy to do some morning exercises let alone fix his sleeping schedule.

He looked to the window beside him, and he relaxed as he saw the calming rays of the morning sun and the serene atmosphere of the city.

and that city is called vortex city, also known as the Ocean obelisk...

Vortex city is built atop the skeleton of a submerged city due to a humongous tidal wave created by nuclear explosions. It was one of the first civilizations that were slowly formed after recovering from the destructive war. Science and technology became its backbone as people tried their best to recover most of the fallen city and to save what is left with the environment surrounding it.

Galvan crawled his way out of the bed, placed the alarm clock in his hand back to the bedside table, stood up then stretched his sleepy muscles. He took a look at his room and it's pretty clean and organized just like how he left it last night. Most of the pieces of furniture he has are either invented by him or sometimes a gift from a friend, and by the window, at the other end of the room, he could see his working table with the unfinished blueprint that he was currently working on last night. He barely even clean it up or put away some of the materials since the drowsiness was starting to get to him that night and he barely had enough sleep the day before.

He walked towards the water dispenser and got himself a glass of cold water. He wants to go outside and buy some pancakes for breakfast but after some thought, he sighed to himself. 'When was the last time I went to the grocery store and cook for myself again?'

He made a silent note to himself to pass by the grocery store later after work, but for now, he has to go and buy his breakfast first.

After doing his daily routine for the day, he started to dress up for work. He picks a white button-down dress shirt with his favorite blue-green gradient necktie just like the usual, partnered with black dress pants, blue-green argyle pattern socks, and topsider shoes for the day.
