The three Lord of Mysteries specials released in 2026 supplement the donghua's first season. For newcomers, the simplest viewing order is the 13 episodes from 2025, followed by City of Silver, The Marked Hunt Part 1, and The Marked Hunt Part 2. They expand on events and characters from the adaptation's early storyline; they are neither season two nor a separate adaptation of the web novel.
Viewers already familiar with the series have another option: insert all three specials after episode 10, Clue. Catalog descriptions such as AniList's place this material alongside passages from season one. That is a suggested story-based order, not a mandatory viewing sequence issued by Crunchyroll. For a first watch, release order prevents unnecessary interruptions and confusion.
What is the order of the three specials?
| Order | Brazilian catalog title | Original distribution title | Main focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A Cidade de Prata | City of Silver | Derrick Berg and his connection to the Tarot Club. |
| 2 | Caçado (Parte 1) | The Marked Hunt Part 1 | Alger Wilson's proposal to pursue Qilangos. |
| 3 | Caçado (Parte 2) | The Marked Hunt Part 2 | Developments in the search involving Audrey Hall. |
The numbers 1, 2, and 3 refer to the specials themselves. They do not turn these installments into episodes 14, 15, and 16 of the regular season. Crunchyroll lists the first season as 13 episodes, from The Fool through Light, while the 2026 trio is identified separately as Lord of Mysteries Specials.
Where do the specials fit into the story?
City of Silver focuses on Derrick Berg, a young man living in an isolated community with no sunlight. According to the official synopsis, his prayer reaches Klein Moretti, who acts as the enigmatic Fool and presides over the Tarot Club. The special adds context to the expansion of this group of characters and Derrick's identity as the Sun.
The Marked Hunt takes up the next two episodes. The official description places Alger Wilson, associated with the Hanged Man card, at the center of a proposal targeting Qilangos, a pirate admiral. Audrey Hall, associated with Justice, plays a significant role in the investigation, which draws in other characters in Backlund. These installments form two parts of the same arc, so Part 2 should immediately follow Part 1.
Minor spoiler notice: the paragraphs above describe only the officially published premises of the specials. They neither reconstruct unverified scenes nor reveal the ending. This suggested order concerns the donghua, not a chapter-by-chapter reading list for the novel.
2026 release dates and availability in Brazil
Crunchyroll announced the three specials on April 28, 2026, setting the initial premiere for June 20, 2026. Its Brazilian listing gives that date for City of Silver and June 26, 2026 for The Marked Hunt Part 1. The platform's Part 2 listing and episode guides place the continuation at the end of that month, with June 27, 2026 shown in episode listings. Dates attached to other audio tracks or versions may be later and should not automatically be treated as new premieres of the story.
Crunchyroll and Tencent's announcement specified an international release excluding Japan and China. Brazil was not among the excluded markets, and the Brazilian episode pages consulted list Brazilian Portuguese subtitles for the installments checked. Catalog access, audio languages, and subscription requirements can change by region and version; a listing does not guarantee identical access for every account.
The specials, season one, and the web novel are distinct
Lord of Mysteries began as a web novel by Cuttlefish That Loves Diving, serialized between 2018 and 2020. The donghua, directed by Xiong Ke and produced by B.CMAY PICTURES, premiered in 2025. The 2026 specials belong to that screen adaptation and flesh out storylines from its early phase.
That is why looking for “episode 14” or starting with the specials as a replacement for the 13 main installments is misleading. The practical order remains the complete first season, then the three specials. Those who have already seen the season and want a story-based placement can revisit the specials after Clue, episode 10, understanding that choice as a fan-friendly arrangement informed by catalog entries, not an official requirement.
