"Fiction" refers to any made-up story, anything presented as not being true but purely for entertainment, education, etc.
Within the broad category of fiction, we divide stories up by length. The shortest are "short stories". A "novel" means a book-length story. In between is the "novella": you might fit 3 or 4 novellas into a reasonable-length book. If a story takes more than one book, it becomes a "series". If there are exactly three books in the series, it's called a "trilogy". (I'm not aware of specific names for a series with four or five books or any number but three. I'm not sure why that gets a specific name.)
Sometimes people attach specific word-counts to these names. Like they will say that a novel is a story of 40,000 words or more, a novella is 20,000 to 40,000 words, and anything shorter is a short story. As far as I know there's no standard in the publishing business, though. These are just ballpark numbers.
These terms all imply prose, as opposed to poetry.

Interesting question, but what about fiction novels? There are novels of different genres, it could be fiction as well. That means that all is an invented story with a superhero with a superpower. Even so, novel as the novel is a story, a prose narrative typically representing character and action with some degree of realism. I like novels and fiction novels as well. But the most my favorite light novels and I as old light novel reader recommend you to give them a try. This is a new term in English regarding novels, it's a Japanese one but translated in English. There are some good light novel websites, you should see how many genres there are.
