I am not a saint to give up such a chance. I pick the second option. I will also try to take away political system of now and replace it with meritocratic bureaucracy before I die.

No.
I would start out as Mother Theresa but would allow myself to degenerate to Charles Manson.
I would make my followers drink Kool-aid before the end came.

Fuck yeah.... I would be a benevolent despot.  Most drugs would be legal. Single payer healthcare. An enforced progressive tax hike. Increased spending on infrastructure and education. Decreased spending on over-inflated military spending. What else would people want me to do? ;;giveup:: |

What else would people want me to do? ;;giveup:: I agree with all those positions, but cutting military spending might not be necessary if you're essentially in charge of every country and thus no real global conflicts would be occuring, so ideally a military shouldn't even be necessary in the first place (unless of course an alien invasion were to happen) |

I have very little desire to control the behaviour of others, and very little faith in my ability to do so fairly.
So I'd likely delegate all my power to some sort of elected body under a strict constitution and then become a symbolic figurehead.
I would, however, ensure that the symbolic figurehead position paid really, really well.
