Well, your question's title and the question itself don't have too much in common, but I'll answer as I understood it.
Writing a fantasy story in an real or invented world [assuming you imagined that world] shouldn't be treated as copyright infringement. If you look through some fantasy themed books, you'll see that their surroundings are pretty much based on REAL history facts/cultures [like Rome, Greece, Egypt etc.]. But if your story is based on Eragon, you'll need Christopher Paolini's permission to publish it [in other words, only it that's the case here].

People have been writing fantasy on the ancient world all the way back to those times. However, in those times, people could not write since writing was invented later so they told tales which were handed down to us like Homer, for example or Beowulf.
You can write about anything but the important thing is the quality of the writing and why you do it. If someone writes a fantasy to fill in with a lot of porno then it is horrible regardless of how well the person can write.
Again, if someone writes a really stupid story about a hockey team or a dance group, it will still be a waste of time for the reader although the writer might learn from the experience or from feed back.

Am I right in thinking English is not your first language? I think what you're asking is if writing a story set in an ancient world would be considered copying off Paolini's "Eragon" and "Eldest"? The answer to this is, no, it would not be considered copying, because you're using historical information, not ideas from the books. If you take Paolini's ideas and try to sell them as your own, that would be considered plagarism, but just because you use a similar setting doesn't make it "copying."

Usually it's not a copyright infringement if you don't copy actual text word for word. However, if you just copy all the ideas in the book it can be. For example, after Harry Potter came out, a Russian author published a book about a heroine called "Tanya Grotter". Rowling sued and the Tanya Grotter book was pulled from the shelves in some countries.

Whatever your imagination can dream up is fair use.
DON BELIANIS OF GREECE
To Don Quixote of la Mancha;
In slashing, hewing, cleaving, word and deed,
I was the foremost knight of chivalry,
Stout, bold, expert, as e'er the world did see;
Thousands from the oppressor's wrong I freed;
Great were my feats, eternal fame their meed;
In love I proved my truth and loyalty;
The hugest giant was a dwarf for me;
Ever to knighthood's laws gave I good heed.
My mastery the Fickle Goddess owned,
And even Chance, submitting to control,
Grasped by the forelock, yielded to my will.
Yet--though above yon horned moon enthroned
My fortune seems to sit--great Quixote, still
Envy of thy achievements fills my soul.
Write on and slay the dragons of discontent.

Any of your a million-8 might desire to be delusion, or they won't be. No magic modern-day? Any e book set interior the genuine worldwide qualifies...yet no person could call a e book set interior the genuine worldwide delusion. a super sort of books, delusion and non-delusion, do not incorporate battles. a super sort of delusion is set on different worlds...and lots isn't. healing utilising herbs does not recommend it is defined by technological know-how - willow bark for issues, particular, yet flowers are undemanding spell aspects and that i does not say that meant the magic grew to become into now technological know-how. 9) i don't do prophecies. i could quite characters made their very own judgements approximately what to do. 10) Why could she fall in love with somebody who's in no way going to handle her the way she ought to be taken care of? 11) i've got not got time to do it like Tolkien, so i choose for characters who all talk the comparable language a minimum of to a pair quantity. you are able to modern-day a character as not being a interior of reach speaker of a language with out having to invent his language. 12) i will stay with apostrophes - i'm a Dragonriders of Pern fan, in spite of everything - yet i don't do unpronounceable. 13) Yup, carried out that one :) 14) maximum of my writing valuable aspects this to a pair quantity. I do like writing approximately section characters, yet while it comes all the way down to it, it is extra relaxing to place in writing related to the guy who's definitely _doing_ some thing. 15) element is, practically any conflict scene demands CGI outcomes to tug it off. you will need the CGI whether the fire's erupting from a flamethrower, if it is going everywhere close to genuine human beings. sixteen) not likely. not the replicate, besides. My characters do of course think of roughly previous activities, even nevertheless it has a tendency to be becaus they're handling some thing comparable. 17) Nah. I extremely be attentive to one end of a horse from yet another, and you be attentive to what they are asserting approximately "write what you be attentive to"... 18) My characters are not in many cases pub age. 19) i could quite that than the cliche the place Our Hero possibilities the skill up in 3 seconds flat desiring practically no guidance in any respect. 20) Minor ones alongside with "oh, it is the place you moved to when you left abode", sure. "Oh, the main undesirable guy is your father"? No. 21) Heck no. 22) to blame as charged :) 23) Caves count sort? 24) No.

I couldn't understand your question a bit.
If U're asking about copying rights, then take permission from the Author i.e. Christopher paolini.

No it is not "copied" Just dream up your story and put it on paper.
