After waking up from a coma, Gregory stumbled around for a few seconds, trying to pull himself together. He realized he must've been out for a few days, because his crew was nowhere in sight. He walked a few miles and, noticing the diminishing daylight, starting to gather resources to build a shelter.
"Oi! This is tiring work," he said, exhausted.
Upon gathering the resources from the Vile Woods, he built a shelter.
"Wood is your best friend," Gregory grinned to himself.
He used the wood to create the foundation of the shelter.
Gregory used the excess wood to create a fire.
"I'm glad I found these jungle leaves!" he exclaimed to himself, "But I have no idea why they're in a forest."
He used the leaves to create a roof.
By the time Gregory completed the shelter, the sun was already setting.
The night came quickly.
"This is what the wilderness is like?" he thought to himself, "And not only the wilderness, an alternate universe wilderness!"
As mentioned before, he was a city person. He didn't usually experience wilderness.
He heard many stories of scary things you can encounter in the dark. Many horrifying things. One can only imagine what you might encounter in these woods.
After a half hour's worth of thinking, Gregory fell asleep.
In his slumber, he remembered what happened before he fell into coma.
[Flashback]
"I'm feeling kind of weird," said Gregory.
"Psh, you'll be fine!" the crew said in unison.
"Whatever..." Gregory said in a groan.
After walking 15 minutes through the Vile Forest, he fell comatose.
"Damn!" said Lucius.
Gregory lay there, motionless.
"What a darn shame," Lina said.
"Mhm!" Sophia agreed.
Lucius then pitched in, "Let's leave him! I'm sure he'll come back to his senses in a few hours."
"Makes sense!" said the girls.
They left Gregory there, continuing their quest through the Vile Forest.
It's amazing how apathetic Lucius, and how easily convinced the girls were, but let's not get off topic!
In Gregory's mind: "Those damn fannies! They left me for dead!"
Gregory was obviously angered by this event. I would be too, but I'm just a narrator! I don't even exist as a physical being.

It was early morning when Gregory awoke.
"Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaawn!"
Gregory got out of his shelter to observe his surroundings.
Afterwards, he compacted his shelter into smaller pieces.
He then placed them in his dimensional backpack, which sent items to another dimension, conveniently creating a virtual "infinite" space. This was given to him by The Boss before the crew's departure.
"What a convenient piece of technology this is!" Gregory said in a half smile.
He set off in the direction his crew went.
