How can I limit access of a user only to some special topics. I don’t want to grant access to all topics of a category.

Topic permissions are done at the category level. The easy solution is to do things that way.
Maybe check out [Private Topic Plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/private-topics-plugin/84254) and [Topic replies invisible until topic owner decides to reveal them? - #10 by riking](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-replies-invisible-until-topic-owner-decides-to-reveal-them/144526/10). They aren’t what you need, but they are examples of plugins that violate the “permissions are done at the category level” rule.
