I am asking about the keywords that could make anyone feel fantasy.

it will be better if every one who will see this post could tell me what their feelings are or express their feelings in one keyword that delivers fantasy. Thanks in advance :)

Words individually do not give the feeling of any genre. It is how you put them together to create a picture in the reader's mind. Just as a painter may use the same pallet of colors to paint a unicorn or a cart horse, so an author can use the same pallet of words to paint a fairy palace in the air of a gritty tenement in New York.

Read the opening of some of the great fantasies like Wind in the Willows or LOTR and you will find that they use very ordinary words. It is how those words are combined to produce images that makes the difference.
