 ### Bug Fixes
 
+* (store) [#10218](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/10218) Charge gas even when there are no entries while seeking.
 * (x/genutil) [#10104](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/10104) Ensure the `init` command reads the `--home` flag value correctly.
 * [\#9651](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/9651) Change inconsistent limit of `0` to `MaxUint64` on InfiniteGasMeter and add GasRemaining func to GasMeter.
 * [\#9639](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/9639) Check store keys length before accessing them by making sure that `key` is of length `m+1` (for `key[n:m]`)
